    Tea with Santa was a fun holiday experience. My 3 and 6 year old really enjoyed the Santa. He spent a lot of time chatting with each child and adult. The food I sampled was tasty!

    I thought the selection of food and the amount of food was very disappointing.

    Yea with Santa was a wonderful experience! The room itself is absolutely stunning, the food was beautifully plated and presented! The servers were particularly effective with my 5 year old Grandaughter, and Santa was terrific! The only downside was that it was advertised as tea with Santa and Mrs. Claus, and Mrs. Claud was not in attendance. Very high prices for the food that we enjoyed…perhaps a glass of complimentary champagne is in order at these prices?

    Santa was so gracious he spent time with each child really listening to them. He read a story and answered ALL the questions the children had with patience and thoughtfulness. The food was delicious and the kids food was VERY appropriate for their age , and the special presentation thrilled the children I brought with me. I would highly recommend taking little ones !! One said it was his best day EVER !!!!!

    Overall, our group was quite disappointed. The room is lovely and the hotel is beautiful. But the service was lacking. They need more servers. They had two gentlemen trying to handle the entire room and as a result, it took a very long time to receive our tea and even longer for our food to arrive. And the food was very average- a beautiful presentation, but nothing really remarkable on the platters. Overall – we were disappointed, and I don’t think I would recommend the tea to others.
