    What an exquisite experience from start to end. Especially the service of Thuli was kind and personal and brought this to another level

    My expectations were higher. The sweets in particular were not very good…and the savoury etagére was too ‘breads’. The free teas, no matter how many, was positive and well worth it. Was okay, but feel no desire to do it again. Been there done that!
