For that you get some grapes, a few mini pastries (scone, muffins, biscuit), three finger sandwiches, a macaron, and tea or coffee. Just bagged tea, not loose leaf or any special blend. They charge mandatory 20% gratuity (table of 4), so it comes to just over $78 with tax for finger foods and a couple cups of tea. Pastries are good, but not particularly special. Paid cash and wasn't given change despite the built-in gratuity, which was an interesting choice. The ambiance is lovely, and I think they're counting on people being so impressed by that they're willing to forgive everything else. The servers were fine, and everything was quick. We had considered going back for dinner but won't. I don't mind tipping well for good service, but it feels so gross and presumptuous to do it this way (I'd prefer they just raise the price overall and state it's included up front.... or pay their workers themselves, but that's a different conversation). 100% not worth it. It was fine, but there are better pastries and tea elsewhere, and nothing made this feel special enough to justify the cost. I like expensive restaurants, but only when something is particularly excellent. This wasn't it.

The food, dessert, drinks, ambience, wait staff, and decorations were just wonderful. I tried to order miso cod last time though the chef refused because the quality of the fish was not up to par that day. I was quite appreciative and impressed Hope to be back soon!!!!

We went for brunch and got the raspberry rose jam and toast (pictured here), croque monsieur and quiche. Everything tasted great and the service was awesome. Also, the environment is incredible unique. Unless you get there within 30 minutes of opening, I would recommend getting a reservation in advance, just in case, but totally worth it.
