Birthday Tea Party, March 2025

“Wonderful, warm, cheerful, welcoming staff. From the first interface with the gracious valet, to Suzette with the warm smile who greets and helps you with your coats, to the bar tender who helped recommend and knew how to make my DIL’s fave cocktail, to the wonderful waiter who orchestrated the timing of the meal with perfection, to the food itself which was sublime, and not your usual fare. Even an interesting vegetarian dish to accommodate me. And, of course, the storied venue was charming. We are foodies and 'collect' dining experiences: this one is tops.”

My guests loved the soup and salad, as well as all the savory and sweet delicacies on each of our tiers. I like that we each received a large teapot with our choice of tea. We also added a non-alcoholic sparkling rose as a toast and were all amazed how good it was. My daughter was thrilled with her baby shower!”
