I think Everyone and i mean everyone should Boycott that place. And wait for the original one to open. These crooked landlords should be punished. They have suck the blood from the poor tenants and then want let them sell there business is insane.. Truly in these difficult times we act like humans and help each other. As soon the original place open we should go there and support them.
A very underwhelming experience today for both adult and child. Poor variety of the warm savoury high tea food.
We didn’t go past one bite on any of the high tea desserts.
The ‘pistachio’ slice overwhelmingly tasted like marzipan and what was meant to be creamy layers had so much gelatine that it was like hard jelly and very unpleasant to eat. The other desserts were no better.
Finally, the fruit was terrible. A very hard rockmelon, and the 2 pieces of 50 cent sized watermelon to feed two people? Really?!
For $140 for adult and child and a 1 hour drive to the city, entirely centred around a visit to this venue, the experience was well below the expected standard. We got up to leave within 30 minutes of being served our 3-tier high tea.
Such a disappointment and wasted trip. If I could provide a zero star rating, I would.
Ask for a refund for the full cost of your wasted time and effort. Absolutely dismal, reviews since the Block Arcade have pushed out the previous delightful owners.
