We had afternoon tea here on a Saturday. Overall delightful experience. Loved the retro vibe at the Watergate and it was a great afternoon spent with girlfriends. You have to book in advance for between 1-2pm. You also pay in advance to reserve your spot, which was convenient.
We came for a friends birthday and while the restaurant was relatively empty at 1PM on a Saturday, there were quite a few tables having tea. Wonderful and diverse tea options and everything tasted fabulous.
The sandwiches were delicious and.wd loved the tea and scones! We wished we had a whole tray of scones and biscuits. There were a lot of desserts, which were all delicious and beautiful, but we really loved the spreads and wished there were a few more savory items in place of a few of the desserts.
Overall really delightful experience and the staff were friendly and attentive.
