A friend of mine recently had a baby shower here and it was the perfect place. It's tiny but lovely -- there is a little pond in the front and the staff is smiling and attentive. We were a group of about 20. They put us at a long table with the guest of honor in the center, and served us a wonderful menu of three courses of different teas, small sandwiches and desserts. They'd printed everything out on small menu cards and we knew exactly when the shower was starting and when it would end (I assume because the place is small they have to rotate you out pretty quickly to make room for the next group) -- two and a half hours was just the right amount of time for everyone to arrive, eat and do gifts. My only experience with the Wild Lily is this baby shower, though I'm sure it's a nice place to duck into for tea and a snack if you're in Chelsea and in need of a peaceful corner.
