We had a fantastic afternoon tea here overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The small sandwiches were excellent. The scones were just right and the pastries were great. There was a wonderful selection of teas and champagne was included. I highly recommend this tea and venue!

Everything is decorated so beautiful for the holidays, from the surfboard collection to the candy village.. Food is amazing, service fantastic, and an absolute lovely setting by the ocean. Dined with 5 girlfriends and enjoyed sharing so many different plates, lobster tacos a must!
