"Boyfriend had never been to afternoon tea but this one really stood out to us as we both enjoy Japanese food and this was a little ‘different’ from the usual (in the best kind of way) We booked it in the morning and turned up at 2:00. Brought downstairs the service was very good although hard to get people’s attention sometimes, they did eventually float back around to you. We chose ochakai. Staff were always friendly. They checked allergies too. When the food came out it looked incredible, although some of the pots (karage) were hard to get out of the frame it was all part of the fun. Everything tasted incredible and very authentic. The quality of the fish on the complimentary nigiri (sea bream and tuna given as part of their anniversary celebration) was so fresh and rich. The matcha was prepared in front of us with little pomp and circumstance making it approachable for something that may come across very formal or ceremonial. The whole experience was gorgeous and would love to do again. Be back soon x"

"Having waited 40 minutes after ordering we had to ask the waiting staff if our food was coming. We were then told the kitchen had ‘lost our order’ but it would be ‘out quickly’. The waiter then told us twice after about ten minutes each time that it would be ‘just a couple more minutes’. Don’t lie just tell us how long it will really be! After an hour and twenty minutes from arriving we still had no food, no offer of a starter or bread roll while we waited, so we walked out. The food other people around us got while we had waited hopefully looked nice enough. Shame the staff couldn’t be bothered to give us some."
