Connie Chan
★★★★★3 months agoI had the Strawberries & Cream French Toast for breakfast and it was absolutely delicious - the sweetness was perfectly balanced, not too heavy at all. The service was excellent and very attentive - our server, Kim, was especially friendly and made us feel very well looked after. The venue itself is spacious, beautifully decorated, and has a lovely traditional British feel. Overall, it really exceeded my expectations. I’ll definitely be coming back and would love to bring friends next time to enjoy it together. Highly recommended!
