   was so great. Very accommodating & great service. Delicious morsels, we got full before finishing. Only issue was my mom ordered tea before I did. I needed more time. Then I ordered. When they were then brought out same time, hers was no longer hot enough. Im thinking hers was made when she ordered but brought out when mine was.

   The tea was great. The food was bland and just terrible. Place is overrated, it’s just tables in a hotel lobby.

   It was great and I'd recommend it to anyone. Service, ambience and most importantly the quality and taste of the food all came together seamlessly to make this one of the better lunch restaurant meal outings we've had in years.

    We have a bunch of dietary restrictions, and they were nice enough to basically remake the dessert menu for us. So sweet! Tea was delicious, almost too much food. Go on an empty stomach. My one complaint is the ambience. We went in the early afternoon and they started dimming the room at like 430 when it was still bright out. A bit rough on the eyes. And also it’s placed in like the lobby of the hotel?

    The Clockwork is an absolute gem in terms of ambience. It will transport you to a magical place of flowery and golden glamour. The servers were all wonderful; charming, helpful, and looker like they were genuinely happy to be there. The desserts were tasty. They make you a special birthday dessert plaque if you indicated the occasion. The only minor feedback is that some of the bread in the finger sandwiches tasted a bit dry and stale. I also didn't really taste the oolong in the watermelon oolong tea. But I think for the overall experience the it was worth it for a ladies' afternoon out.

    Great time had by all. We have experienced high tea in the uk, and don’t feel that the scones should be the first serve, which they are not in London. The savouries should be first, followed by the scones, which although excellent, should be the last item served with the other sweets. The service was impeccable.

    What a beautiful spot in the historic lobby of this classic hotel. Despite a server that may have had a bad morning, the rest of the experience was magnificent: delicious wine, tasty food (best frites EVER), and an overall lovely atmosphere

    Everything was perfect and started out like I remembered from my last experience there. Pastries were amazing. The most disappointing was the sandwiches. I love the variety of breads you use but they seemed less than fresh. We also weren’t impressed with the cheese sandwich just tasted like jam and you couldn’t taste the cheese. Left underwhelmed by the food but everything else was perfect! The next question is what I recommend it to a friend… I put no because I expect more from the Road York and what we paid. Ambiance is important but the main experience is the tea itself. I would however tell them that it could’ve been a bad day and maybe they would have a better experience than we did. It would be up to them to make the choice.

    It used to be better. My girlfriend and I used to go get tea at the library bar at the Fairmont, which was absolutely spectacular. It was disappointing to hear it had been moved elsewhere but we kept an open mind. The food was good but it seemed like everything had been downsized and they’ve clearly cheaped out a bit to drive their margins. Fewer sandwiches, smaller desserts, etc. It was still quite good, but a disappointing change from previous visits.

    What a wonderful Mother's Day spent at CLOCKWORK! The Royal York was beautifully decorated for the occasion with gorgeous cherry blossom trees installed around the tea-time area. Lovely live music played elegantly throughout the space - a very subdued classical piano. The menu was great and very filling for the price. The service was good, but not the best ever. We didn't end up receiving water at all throughout our tea, but no one in my party was parched as we were drinking tea all afternoon. Our waiter seemed a little unfamiliar with the menu and offerings for the day, but not enough that it bothered me. Would absolutely return and recommend to those looking for a slice of luxury in the city.

    Overall, very disappointed in the food quality. Our sandwiches were plated well in advance and the sandwiches were so dry. They did replace the worst ones, but very disappointed. The one waitress was rushing us. After being told we had to leave within two hours, they rushed us through the first course to the main. Given the price point, this was disappointing. Lovely location and ambience, but so many misses on quantity and service. It was not inline with the Fairmont brand I expected.

    Nice experience, but compared to other high tea services in the city, it was just OK. Tea sandwiches were tasty, but bread was dry. Service was slow, but attentive. Too much time from the time that we are seated to our drink order and too much time to get our drinks and then same for tea order and for food to arrive. Setting is lovely, but tables are so small that it was not functional for 4 people and a person that wasn't our server was handling all of our table settings and food (very pushy). During COVID, you don't really want another person touching everything on your table unless absolutely necessary. Ladies at hostess stand were very lovely and responsive and organized. I would recommend Clockwork for drinks because it such a fabulous atmosphere, but not for tea. You can spend the same somewhere else for better value and quality.

    My friend treated us to High Tea at Clockwork during our weekend shopping trip to Toronto. We’ve enjoyed high teas at the Palm Court at the Plaza in NYC, The Drake in Chicago—and this was right up there with the best. Loved everything about it. The selection of food is wide: lots of sweet and savory treats. Setting is wonderful. Gentle piano music set the stage. Can’t recommend this highly enough.
