They did not have one of the teas on the High Tea menu. I’ve been to many High teas, and you always get 1 item per person. With the scones there there 3 different kinds and we had to share to taste the different flavours. With the high price we paid, we should have got 1 of each kind/person

The service and decor was phenomenal. If I'm being critical, and I will because of the price we paid- the bread for the roast beef sandwich was dry as was the mini Loaf used for the shrimp. Cucumber roll was quite soggy. The pros however, far outweighed the cons. The scones and spreads were excellent, especially the clotted cream. All the sandwich fillings and toppings were grand, I especially liked the pickled onion and black Sesame seeds as garnish on the salmon and egg salad. Both accompaniments created an additional level of flavor for these choices that made them great. My favorite desert was the toadstool. The vibe was amazing. My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The enchanted tea was delightful

Went for the Mad Hatter high tea. The desserts were impeccable and the service incredibly attentive. The savoury selections were on the dry/stale side. The pastries and breads had been prepared in advance and refrigerated. It seemed like they’d just come out of the fridge and they didn’t taste very fresh. I didn’t find it was worth the money in terms of food quality, but the overall experience was wonderful. My family loved our afternoon!

The High tea sandwiches and desserts were very tasty and the table was decorated to the theme of Alice in Wonderland. I really enjoyed where we were seated in a quaint small booth. It was a nice overall experience.

The Bridgerton Spill the Tea Afternoon Tea was amazing. I’ve had other teas at other places and other Fairmonts and thought they did a great job! Look forward to the next one.
