Tea Room Review
How can one critique perfection? Let's just say that when I was asked to take a group to learn what afternoon tea service should be like this is the place I took them. Everything about this place is beautiful including the owner who makes me feel warm all over every time I visit. As for the tea room itself, it is class incarnate with crown moulding, chair rails, paned windows, dimmable wall sconces etc. Even the restroom situation is classy with two WC's in different areas allowing for groups to use the facilities without disturbing others or vice versa. The best way to explain the experience at the four seasons would be in person over tea. So just call me - I'd love to meet you there!
