It
was
the
only
place
we
could
reserve
for
Sunday
lunchtime
since
it
was
Mother's
Day
in
the
UK
and
we
were
not
aware
of
that
in
advance.
When
we
booked
we
had
no
idea
that
this
is
inside
a
Ralph
Lauren
Store
in
Regent
Street,
the
"Ralph's
Coffee
&
Bar"
name
only
made
sense
once
we
found
it.
Décor
is
classic,
a
bit
"polo
lounge"
(obviously),
tables
are
small
and
customers
mostly
well
to
do.
Classical
jazz
records
as
soundtrack
were
appreciated.
Service
was
nice
and
accommodated
one
of
us
wanting
to
order
an
afternoon
tea
(30
GBP)
after
checking
with
the
kitchen,
since
in
principle
it
could
be
done
only
by
previous
reservation.
That
was
nice
of
them
and
indeed
it's
well
named
as
"afternoon"
tea
and
not
"high
tea"
as
in
some
expensive
London
hotels
(where
it
can
cost
70
GBP).
It
wasn't
gargantuan
in
size
or
spectacular
in
flavour
but
did
the
job
with
5
finger
sandwiches,
one
plain
scone
and
one
raisin
scone
with
clotted
cream
and
jam,
one
piece
of
brownie
with
some
wort
of
whipped
cream
on
top
and
some
caramel
popcorn.
A
good
explanation
of
the
different
sandwiches
and
the
waiter
asking
which
beverage
i'd
like
with
it
without
me
having
to
inquire
for
a
cup
of
tea
that
then
was
included
in
the
price
would
have
been
appreciated.
My
husband
ordered
a
toasted
brioche
lobster
roll
that
was
lovely
but,
at
20
GBP
with
only
some
crisps
as
accompaniment,
it
could
well
be.
All
in
all,
it
went
well
and
I
wouldn't
hesitate
recommending
it
taking
the
price
level
into
account.
