Blue Bar offers an excellent food experience, particularly for Afternoon Tea. The restaurant's dining space is lovely, with a quiet and secluded atmosphere perfect for a relaxing afternoon. The service is attentive, and the Jasmine tea is delicious. Many visitors praise the savory food, calling it incredible, and appreciate the lovely surroundings that make it a great place for quiet conversation. The hotel itself has an old-school charm, though some feel it is a bit rundown. The tea sandwiches are small and open-faced, lacking the heft of traditional tea sandwiches, and some items like the Kir Royale may be overpriced. The tea service and regular menu provide a pleasant experience, and visitors often mention the wonderful staff, including attentive servers like Binado. Despite some issues, many guests find better value here than at other local options and plan to return for more meals from The Tavern.
