I came here on my birthday in December, and it was a great experience. I didn't realize until the end of my tea that they're reservation only, no walk-ins, as they seated me that day without saying anything. Super accommodating!
Because it was December, the tea menu was specifically a holiday one with no alternative menus. The bottom tier was sandwiches; from what I remember, there were cucumber sandwiches, possibly turkey and cranberry ones, two other veggie ones, and a single salmon one. The middle tier was a biscuit with jam and cream. The top was desserts: fruits like grapes, oranges, strawberries, raspberries, etc., macarons, small cake squares, and small cookies. I came with an empty stomach and was pretty full at the end. The kind lady who took my order and served me tea asked if it was my first time there, and since I said yes, she added a couple sandwiches for free. So nice!
The tea I got for the pot was an earl grey. They serve the pot alongside sugar cubes and milk if you ask for it. It was delicious! I wish I'd bought the tea, but I was in a hurry to get somewhere that day.
The T Room was decorated for Christmas when I went. There was a Christmas tree in the corner, with ornaments that apparently were for sale. There were wreaths hanging from mirrors and cabinets, and the individual tables had cute Christmas centerpieces. On the walls, there are cute little picture frames and dishes hanging. I was in the front room, but I believe there's a back room for larger parties.
The lady taking care of me was good at checking in with me when needed and leaving me to read my book when I wanted to keep to myself. Service was great overall.
One thing to keep in mind is that it seems like they pay a charge when customers pay with card--$5 I believe? So paying with multiple cards isn't an option if you're with a group.
Overall, a really nice experience. I'd come again!
