This was second time here for an afternoon tea- this time was as lovely as the last. The reservation process? Awesome, via OpenTable, & easily confirmed both afternoon teas needed to be gluten free. The reception? Welcoming! We had option of stairs or elevator. SO appreciated that option! Was having lower pain day so took the stairs, & enjoyed every ounce of ambiance in the way upstairs! Table? Perfectly situated in a sunny window, quieter area- just as requested! Tablescape?...
I will start by saying this is our go to Date Spot! We love the space, the service here is awesome every time...such a great spot, love it! New menu this trip and I will have to say I was disappointed with the fish options...this was Sea Bass (perhaps)...but was what seems to be flash fried in oil at a very high temperature. The result in that was a dry and crispy flesh...the salad that was with the fish was not really a salad. It was a mix of viny greens which were very bitter...
Probably the worst dining experience I've ever had at lively. Our waiter was the worst, uncaring, annoyed waiter. I had the worst sea bass I've ever had, pan fried to oblivion and most of it was a gross tail.
