Cool bar, great location, food was good but not spectacular, drinks were great, service was just OK. They did not bring out what we ordered had to ask twice etc.

The ambiance is great, the staff are professional and friendly. But the high tea itself was average, not very authentic. I'm from the UK. I'd expect far more savoury snacks, like plain authentic scones with grated cheese, etc. This high tea was almost entirely sweet sugary snacks, with but a few sandwiches as the only savoury thing. Plus the 'unlimited tea' was really just the waiters refilling our teapots with more hot water but not a fresh teabag, until the 'tea refill' was weak and tepid.

Food was pretty terrible. Service took forever for example- ordered coffees, and cream/sugar didn't arrive for 10 mins at which time coffee was cold. Never refilled. Asked for syrup with pancakes, arrived after food was cold.

One of the best restaurant experiences overall I've had in downtown Chicago. We celebrated my boyfriends birthday and all the staff seemed alerted about it and gave us a free dessert. Definitely will be going back! ??
I've been to a couple afternoon teas and for what you pay, this one really isn't worth it. The server should explain the process and what is offered. When it's a standard service and there's only one piece of everything offered, it should come out pretty quick if that's the experience you've reserved. We sat for over an hour prior to getting any of the food items and we were not able to order more even for more cost because everything had run out. We asked for more hot water for our tea and we didn't even get everyone's pot refilled at the table after waiting ridiculously long for each request. It was disappointing overall
Very cute vibe. We loved the atmosphere. My sister in law, niece and I went for afternoon tea. It was a cute enough experience, a little lite on savory options, not sure worth the price of $240, plus tip. After the server left our food tray we never saw her again, not to check on us once or see if we needed anything else. It was tough to swallow the 20, 25 or 30% tip option when zero service was involved whatsoever.

To be honest, I went to this place with high expectations, but I was very disappointed. This is a place where only “the food” is delicious.The service was so crappy.After going in and confirming my reservation, he asked me if I wanted to sit on upstairs or on the downstairs . So he said he wanted to sit downstairs, and he said there was no room.If there are too many customers in the restaurant and there are no seats downstairs, why bother asking?There were even seats left downstairs.Don’t the employees properly check where customers sit?Even the female server on the second floor was really rude.They are friendly at first, take our order and never make eye contact whenever we need anything.She often made eye contact with other guests and walked back and forth, but never came to us. We ended up asking another server to do what we needed.While traveling to Chicago, I was met with very unfriendly behavior only here.No matter how delicious the food is, I won't come back. I wouldn't recommend it to others either.What I experienced here was such a waste of time and money.

I took my mom to afternoon tea here and the tea, bubbles, and snacks were really nice. The only drawback is that it's pretty crowded, we were at a tiny two person table right in the middle of two others and it was hard to just relax and have normal conversation. The price is really quite high as well. After a 20% tip it's $100+ per person for a small pot of tea, a glass of brut, and a few snacks. All very lovely, it just over priced in my opinion.
I took my friend to SoHo House for high tea for her birthday. The tea and finger foods were delicious, the service was ok, not incredible. It was fairly slow overall even though the restaurant was not crowded, and we sat for about 45 minutes waiting for our check, but I suspect that was the result of a miscommunication during a shift change.

all the tea items were super sweet. when we asked for more tea we were merely given more hot water, which doesn't make more tea if you steeped properly the first time. it was exceedingly loud and they seemed way understaffed. the valet was alone.

We had a lovely time! You pick your tea flavor and everyone gets 3 finger sandwiches and 6 small desserts. It was a beautiful restaurant and our waitress was very kind. I definitely would come back for tea!

It took 24min for the server to show at our table we understand it can be busy for one person but 24 min for her to even acknowledge us or let us know she'll be with us is not good service or value for what we are paying for.
