I guess I would compare it to its neighbors. Where else are you getting that level of food, atmosphere, and service with most entrees in the mid-to-high teens? I personally like it a lot, having only experienced the smokiness...

I am sure this is not what ReneG has in mind, but I do have to report on my recent experience at the Penisula for High Tea, afterall, there just aint that many high tea threads around. Our older daughter, Hannah recently had her...
