    We had the opportunity to enjoy Royal Tea at The Ruben at the Palace Hotel. It was fantastic. The food was fantastic with great care taken in all courses. The tea selection was broad and offered a couple we had have seen before. The service made the largest difference. Rebecca was amazing. She was very attentive but not intrusive. She was very pleasant and helped guide us through the tea selections as well. She was fantastic. I would recommend afternoon tea at The Ruben at the Palace Hotel.
