    Festive tea- nothing really festive about this tea, before refurb the ambience was lovely, now very corporate. Last year, carol singers and a lovely Christmas vibe, this year no carols, crackers or festive cheer. Left to stand at reception until exact time of booking despite our table being empty! Only 5 chairs and tricky for elderly relatives. £600 for a high tea over within 90 minutes, not worth it.

    If you are celebrating and want to do it with afternoon tea then this is a good one to go for. Service was exemplary and the sandwiches, savouries, scones and cakes were everything they should be.

    Festive afternoon tea was dainty small portions but filling. If you eat with your eyes you would think it's not enough but you struggle towards the end as you are full. Constant tea of many varieties What you don't eat you can take home in a souvenir take out box. The staff are very attentive. I was a little disappointed with the decor as it didn't feel very christmasy

    As usual we enjoyed the savoy afternoon tea. We have been doing this for a few years now and my only negative is that the new look that you have created is nice, but my family and I preferred the old style of decor and ambience with the piano in the middle

    Food was very good. But we did not like being squished in for two per table. Had to move table to get in and out. Plus £28 for service charge is extortionate.

    My daughter and I were in London for the weekend and We went to the gallery for a little Christmas treat. The lobby decor is lovely. Our waitress was lovely, the food was less than average, the bread was cold like it has been in the fridge, lobster rolls were ok, not well seasoned, the pizza was terrible , the chicken Cobb salad was unremarkable with freezing hard chicken. Dessert was nice. I asked for an American to finish and got a pot of horrible tasting pour over or filter coffee and as a Coffee lover could not believe that was produced to me. As i said the waitress was lovely but this was an overpriced terrible food experience.
