I have enjoyed afternoon teas at other places before, but unfortunately, this one did not live up to my expectations. The staff was present, but it was difficult to get their attention when we needed something. The cost of the tea per person was reasonable, but the overall experience should have been exceptional. Attention to detail was lacking as we had to ask for items like napkins and spoons to eat the desserts. The sandwiches were not fresh when they arrived and had dried out by the time we finished, so saving a few was a mistake. Parking was easy at first, but we had to squeeze into the last spot available. It wasn't a bad experience, but it was disappointing compared to previous visits. Overall, I appreciate the gesture from my daughter, but I don't think the afternoon tea was worth it.
