Since we haven’t been able to travel much lately Since we haven’t been able to travel much lately, we highly suggest visiting the @hotelcrescentcourt to transport yourself to London for an authentic high tea experience! Offered every Saturday and Sunday from 12-2pm, indulge in freshly made tea sandwiches and scones with clotted cream & house made preserves. Sip on luxury tea blends as you finish your afternoon with delicious bite-sized desserts. You can even add on the “endless champagne” option if you’re feeling adventurous! 🥂🍾

It is the perfect spot for your next date night or girls night out, with tons of instagram worthy food & views 📸💃🏻

We highly recommend starting with the wagyu robata beef skewers 🍢 or the frito misto for a lighter option. The lobster risotto was creamy and melted in your mouth. And you can never go wrong ordering anything truffle, so definitely order the truffle campanelle pasta 🤤 you won’t regret it!

The bar area is also a great spot to pop in for cocktails and bar bites for a great happy hour!
