Cheers Hannah, it’s your peasant friend in Atlanta, Sean! Hahaha, you actually flashed “peasant” about the silverware! And I also immediately thought, “Beauty and the Beast“ when you panned to the ceiling shot with those beautiful vines! I have not been to the Ritz in 20 years and it looks exactly the same as I remember it! What a fantastic hotel! Thank you for showing me the Connaught Hotel! While I don’t know where it is located, I may swing by on my next visit, assuming my pea brain will remember it. Some of those pastries were just too beautiful to eat. That was an extra special video for me! And I’m so happy that you both enjoyed your meal and all the little bits and bobs and goodies that they brought out to you, especially the gentleman making your dessert. Did you both have a sugar rush after the amount of sugar that he put in that frying pan? And I really liked the amount of liqueur that he added. After watching your wonderful video, I wanted to book a trip on the Orient Express… Sean

Whoever said it was old fashioned is off their rocker! The style is purely classic and elegant!! What a special experience to watch you have and this is the kind of quality, service and beauty that makes it so very, very worth and also very rare. This kind of elegance is something you would see in a palace. And THIS is what I'm happy spending bigger bucks on. Why don't more restaurants have this timeless beauty and quality? Everything modern is so overrated but poor quality, cheap and not special anymore. But this?!?!? Absolutely incredible and thank you so so so much.. it actually gives me a little hope that British art, beauty, tradition are still living on 🥲 Also, I really love your earrings!!

I'm rating it a 10 and could just feel the special atmosphere there with you. I also felt the little shops before hand had the best easter goodies than any other shop you've done, maybe because it wasn't overwhelming and attention to detail was perfect. I've never seen so much easter goodies in any store in America. Tell Nat, yes you will go and do that again!
