    The Japanese high tea was such a unique and beautiful experience. The food was so lovely, service was outstanding, and ambience was so beautiful. I went with my male partner who doesn't usually appreciate high teas and he absolutely loved it. Thank you so much to the team who looked after us, so attentive and friendly. We felt so special. Would highly recommend and would definitely return

    Our Zen Garden High Tea was very special. The food was all delectable, service was great. We had an 11 o'clock booking which I think helped as we were the only ones there for a while. The atmosphere was great, subdued music and dimly lit area to dine made the meal even more enjoyable. 100% recommend.

    Booked the Japanese high tea for my mum’s birthday. The atmosphere and presentation of food was wonderful but the finer details were disappointing. The food was delivered and we had grazed through half of it before someone offered to tell us what was on the plate and no one had bought out soy sauce for the sashimi. The location felt like a hallway of a hotel overlooking a normal Brisbane street. Nothing special. Having been to Japan 3 times I expected more, like a choice of Japanese teas.

    It was terrible! The hot food was stone cold and the sweet food was not nice at all. The service was dreadful!! My client ordered the same cocktail twice and was presented with a different drink each time. Definitely not worth the price tag.
