It was a very nice table setting for the Alice in Wonderland theme. Our server or waiter was EXCELLENT!!!! He deserves a raise. He was very attentive and kind. We did not like the Boot table. It was way too crowded for 3 people. Very uncomfortable. We asked for a bigger table but was told no even though there were plenty of other empty tables. The food wasn’t great. Just okay. Nothing outstanding especially for the price.

We visited the Velvet Glove for their Alice in Wonderland Afternoon Tea. The service was good and the atmosphere was nice, but the food did not taste fresh. Considering that most of the items on the menu featured baked goods, it was disappointing that all of them seemed slightly stale, as if they were prepared several days in advance. For the price, I can’t recommend their Afternoon Tea menu.

6 of us recently attended the Mad Hatter tea as the final part of our girls weekend at the Fairmont celebrating our 60th birthdays. I have been to 5 teas over past few years at the Fairmont. This was far and away the best one. It was cute and quirky. The decor was outstanding and a huge step up. The food was very good. It was all fresh and beautiful. The service was AMAZING! We were treated royally and not rushed. What a delight! It was the first time for my friends and they were equally impressed. As the organizer of the weekend I was a bit unsure but way to go....all around an elevated experience and tea as it should be!!

The tea was wonderful, the experience was wonderful and the service was wonderful. Most of the bread component and pastries tasted a bit dried out - like they were put on the serving trays too soon. The flavors were good but even the carrot cake tasted like it was drying up on the outside edges. For the price of $69 I expect better!

We went to the Mad Hatter Afternoon Tea and it was a lovely experience! Our server, Rod was very friendly, attentive, and organized. There was many choices in the tea selection and the 3 tier bites were presented very beautifully. The savoury bites were delicious and the dessert has many selections. We would have preferred more savoury bites but it was still an excellent variety. We’ve been to the Spring High Tea and Le Petit Chef as well and all amazing experiences. The staff seem to be taken well care of by the company and it shows in their service. Would definitely come back for another event!
