We went back here again to give this Tea room another shot as we loved their cream tea with real raisin scones. However, as has been the case the last 3 times, the service was poor (waitstaff actually roll their eyes when asking nicely for something else they should know to offer first time), and again loud dance music -- not exactly something one expects when visiting a tea room boasting elegance! We came here to unwind in a refined, quiet, classical atmosphere only to have our ears assaulted with loud music I don't mind hearing at a Chili's or akin, and to feel almost apologetic for ordering. We left there more stressed than when we arrived. Although the music was turned down, by the end it was getting louder and had switched to reggae from dance hip hop. As usual, the waitstaff rarely returned to check on us and then only when it was time to get a tip did they seem at all that polite. Very disappointing as their tea itself is very good. Such a seemingly easy thing to fix but the service continues to decline (esp. if owner is gone), particularly for the price paid!. Very disappointing. We can no longer recommend this place to others.
