Saint Aymes - London

Perfect setting for a pretty tea time with a modern twist

The restaurant did not open until an hour after our scheduled booking time, which was unprofessional and disappointing. I would not recommend this restaurant. Additionally, the website is confusing and contradictory.

We were greeted warmly and escorted to our table where we were offered drinks and menus. We had booked afternoon tea, which was absolutely delicious. We found ourselves needing more sandwiches so we ordered extra, which we had to pay for separately. We also needed to request another pot of tea. The restaurant had a peaceful and beautifully decorated ambiance. Our only disappointment was that our table was a bit too small for all five adults, and we could have used a third table for more comfort. Overall, thank you for the pleasant experience.

We waited over 45 minutes for our pre-booked high tea, and watched as three groups of people left because they had been waiting for over 45 minutes to an hour as well. The service was poor - only three staff members were working and they didn't serve us unless we asked them to. Our server also seemed unsure about the menu and didn't realize we had pre-booked and paid in advance as it was indicated. The place was pretty, but the wait wasn't worth it for some pictures.

Beautiful place, but expensive for what we had. Bit mean not including a basic tea or coffee as well as fancier drinks in the set brunch, and 6 tiny slices of strawberry to go with 4 waffles. For the amount of money, it wasn't great.
