The food is great, and the surrounding gardens beautiful. The lox sandwiches sprinkled with dill are tasty, and the watercress sandwiches are also good.
Service is excellent.
The servers are always friendly, and they're very quick to clear away dirty dishes. Be sure to ask for a bag to bring your extra scones home. It's wise to call in advance for reservations, especially if you have a large group. The best restaurant of this kind I have eaten at. Food pick one Incredible.
