    Bonjour, nous avons adoré l'expérience. Un seul point négatif, le thé ne demeure pas chaud suffisamment longtemps. Sinon, tout à été parfait. Merci.

    There are few points to improve the experience : - there could have been a better variety of food for people who dont eat meat. There could have been sandwiches with eggs, tuna, anything else but there was only smoked salmon... - the environment was pretty but lord there could have been music to create an even better ambiance. Classical music, jazz music for example. - We had to ask twice to heat the tea because they served it mild cold in the beginning already. Can't you have heating plates ? - overall for more than 50$, the experience could have been better, the ambiance better and the food more diverse.

    Bright comfortable ambiance, and really appreciated the table next to the fire place. The room was rather noisy....especially the coffee machine at the bar. The teas we were served were rather small and ordinary, and would have appreciated a refill.

    I took my husband for his birthday and very underwhelming experience. The food was extremely lack luster and disappointing. You honestly just go for the name and that’s about it. We have no trouble with high costs but as long as there is quality which clearly wasn’t the case here. The scones were the only decent things served and when we asked for more cream spread, they forgot to bring it and it was something to finally flag the person down again to finally get it over 30ish later and they charged us for it to top off the lacking service. The extra for it is fine but not when you’ve waited 30 min for it and had to remind them. Honestly service and food left a lot to be desired. Other than the name and the nice ambiance, nothing else was notable

    One would expect more from a Ritz Carlton, having tried the other high teas in town this feels like someone is forcing the hotel to put on the event and they are trying to do so on the smallest budget, with the least number of staff, in a room that has had the most basic renovations done. The food was not fresh, the latte was just warm milk and the service was stretched thin trying to accommodate the guests. This was supposed to be a special occasion and instead it’s an occasion best forgotten. Great if you want some alcohol with sandwiches but if you want a proper high tea that is relaxing and beautiful, go elsewhere.

    Great place for afternoon tea, elegant, luxurious and delicious. Fireplace mirroring high ceiling wall bar and flowery decor enhanced the tea experience. The royal experience with the rose champagne is the only way to go. Whether you bring for family or friends, this place exudes charm, beauty and grace.

    It was a very pleasant experience all together. A bit on the pricy side, but you definitly pay for the ''wow factor'' of being at the Ritz and feel like an absolute queen. Would definitly come back for a special date :) !
