    We very much enjoyed our experience with the battle of the chefs theme between Mille and Ibu. We got to sample many delicious dishes from both chefs and restaurants. Pleasant to taste lots of great wine from Coppola vinyards. Congratulations to both chefs and staff. It was well done.

    I am very happy and pleased with the whole experience. The booking process was very friendly and accommodating. The personnel was very attentive and considerate. The food was of a good quality and tasty, though the sandwiches(bread slices) were a bit dry on the top. A good variety of savory and desserts. Most of all we were pleased with the cost. $45 per person is just right. The jam and clotted cheese are delicious. The scones are pretty good too. I can't really say anything negative. Thank you Alforno for such a wonderful very first High Tea experience.
