Lovely holiday tea. Great mix of savory and sweet items were served. The holiday signature cocktail was also a delicious way to get started before the tea service arrived at our table! Hoping to make this an annual tradition!

Afternoon Tea was in the lobby which was being remodeled so crowded and loud. Tables were not reset after use so we ate high tea amidst a bunch of uncovered tables with no decor. Not enough staff so long wait time. Tea was good. I took my granddaughter but will look elsewhere next year

Brought my mom and teenage daughter to Christmas tea. We were early for our reservation, but they were able to seat us right away. Highly attentive staff, provided everything we needed and more when requested. Will definitely return for another themed tea!

It was a wonderful experience. As someone who is gluten free, I was so excited to be able to enjoy the tea and get delicious treats and sandwiches just like everyone else. Make sure to call ahead if you need gluten free. It was such a great time.

Seated 20 min later than reservation, near the cold front door. Food was terrible, and for $70 per/person to receive a tray off what appeared to be store bough t desserts is insulting. Also the featured drink on the menu appeared to be included but shocked it was not, then a 24% tip added to a sub-par experience was a nice finishing touch. Never again!

We have been coming to the Christmas tea for over 10 years and it has become quite expensive! $90 a person. Once a year it’s definitely a treat. The food is great with the exception of the scones. Terrible. Hard and dry. Everything else was excellent.

The Christmas Tea was incredible. The food and service was wonderful! I wish it was less noisy since it was at the hotel entrance. I wish they had played Holiday music since it was advertised as a Christmas Tea. I would definitely do it again though!
