I agree, and also that the food was reasonably priced (for tea). I would happily have paid a little bit more for a bottomless teapot.

"indifferent" was maybe the wrong word to use for the service, and I agree that they seemed friendly. But there's a past which I find slow service without acknowledgement problematic, and they skirted the edge of that for me. Especially considering that the place wasn't busy at all. It may just be that I have higher standards of service for tea.
