Had an out-of-town visitor and came to the Lounge in search of afternoon tea. We made reservations a few hours before and were seated right away. We ordered the duetto- which is at $480 for two people. It was more food than the both of us could possibly finish.

We ordered the duetto- which is at $480 for two people. It was more food than the both of us could possibly finish.
They had the best scones I've ever had -- crispy on the outside, moist and rich inside, with really generous portions of raspberry or maybe it was black currant jam and sweet cream. The savory tea sandwiches (salmon, ham, cucumbers) were blah, but the rest (mini quiche, cakes) was delicious.
Everything was quite pleasant except for one thing -- afternoon tea here is also mommy day care. There were big groups of women and families with their small children and infants and strollers packed into the lounge. We were pretty much surrounded by tables full of crying, screaming and shrieking infants. The swarm of kids pretty much overpowered the pianist and we could barely hear each other with so many wailing children. I could see the late business lunchers scurry out as soon as possible.
We luckily were re-seated after my companion requested a different table. Thankfully, although the place was quite busy, the staff did their best to re-seat us.
Excellent, fine tea, pricey, but the ambiance might drive you nuts if you're not into sitting in a Bermuda Triangle of screaming infants and strollers.
