This place always has long lines for their afternoon tea set special ($55+10% svc chg or $67+10% svc chg if you add dessert) during the weekends, so we were lucky to get off work a bit earlier on a weekday and have a chance to try it out without a long wait.The waitress who took our order has a serious attitude problem.

The waitress who took our order has a serious attitude problem. When asked what are the dessert choices for the $67 set,
Her: "Cheesecake or brownie"
Us: "What type of cheesecake?"
Her: (with a very rude tone and incredulous expression) "I don't know. Whatever the kitchen brings out, that's what we serve."
....
Anyways, we didn't order the "mystery cheesecake" and just went with two sets without dessert, ordering the very popular beef with bacon and cheese burger (with spicy fries) and farmer's bread with smoked salmon, mustard, spinach and onions (with spicy fries).
Both of us went with iced tea for the set drink, which had a good fruity flavor.
The beef with bacon and cheese burger was very well done, and it was obvious why so many people order it. The beef patty was done medium to medium-rare, which left the interior juicy and a good amount of bite. The toasted bun was warm and crispy, and came with a generous serving of melted cheddar cheese. The side fries were crispy (no hint of sogginess), not over oily, and nicely spiced.
The farmer's bread with smoked salmon was more of a let down. The bread was cold and soggy from the sour mustard sauce, there were two miserable slices of thin smoked salmon, and way too much raw onion. It also came with spicy fries, which were good.
The main draw here is probably the ambience, which is seated in an open area with comfy chairs and a great place for a conversation.
