   One of the best afternoon teas I’ve had. The food was delicious- the lobster roll my favorite savory. The service was everything high tea should be- attentive yet not intrusive. The setting is unexpected, and felt festive. The sweets- as gorgeous as they were tasty. Highly recommend.

   This was an incredible high tea experience in a hidden gem within the Fairmont hotel. Estella provided exceptional and attentive service, accommodating my food allergies with care. The ambiance was elegant and beautifully decorated for winter, though we learned the decor changes frequently, offering a fresh surprise with each visit. Each guest selects one tea flavor, with the option to add a cocktail or bubbles for an additional charge. The food is served in a classic tiered setup: savory items on the bottom, scones and biscuits in the middle, and desserts on top. We overheard another table request extra savory items in advance (when making their reservation, not day of), which the restaurant accommodated—something to note if you prefer more savory or sweet options to plan ahead for. The portions were generous for 2; after enjoying a large breakfast at 8 AM, the 3 PM high tea left us completely satisfied without needing dinner or late-night snacks. Highly recommend this delightful experience!

   This is the second time I've had high tea at the Fairmont and it was a lovely experience. The crab and lobster roll with especially delicious, as was the Santa Claus profiterole. Estella was a pleasure to be served by, as always. Can't wait to come again! Thanks so much.

   My husband and I came to Notch8's for their Autumn Afternoon Tea to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The ambiance, service and food were excellent. The moment we checked-in the front desk congratulated us on our anniversary, and so did our wonderful server. We were treated to a special anniversary dessert (not on menu) and complementary glasses of prosecco to toast with. The tea room was well decorated with an Autumn theme throughout, we are always impressed by what an amazing job they do. We had a fall wedding so this was the perfect setting for us. The menu was great with sweets and savoury options, it was hard to choose between the many great options for tea, we loved the ones we had. Overall a wonderful experience every time we come to Notch8 for tea, brunch or any special occasion.

   We were the only ones having high tea so it was quiet. The room was beautiful. Our waiter was very nice and we had very good service. It was nice for my friend to get a piece of cheesecake with a candle lit for her birthday. The food was a disappointment. The flavor of the sandwiches were good especially the roasted turkey but bread for all of them was stale (dry). Tasted like it had the bread had been sitting out exposed all day. We were the 3 pm seating but for high tea at the Fairmont it shouldn’t matter which seating we pick. We expect fresh sandwiches. For a top hotel famous for the high tea we were disappointed especially for $72 per person.
