    I took my wife for her birthday and we had a wonderful experience. I booked it the day before and called and left a message about my wife's dietary restrictions, and they modified the menu on short notice. The service was excellent and very courteous. They also sang her Happy Birthday, which wasn't expected but much appreciated. The tea selection was excellent, and the food was delicious.

    We came here to celebrate our one year wedding anniversary at the King Edward hotel but nothing was done to make it extra special :( I thought at the minimum they could have congratulated us. Other than that, staff was very nice and friendly. Food was delicious. It just felt like an “everyday” treatment very a very special and meaningful day to my husband and I.

    So lovely. I am gluten-free and let the staff know prior to my visit. They had a special plate or yummy finger sandwiches for me and a stack of wonderful sweets. It felt so special and I was so happy. I'm used to not getting what other eaters are served and having to work around a menu. This was just such a special and lovely service. Thank you.

    I can’t say enough good things about this place!! The server was so kind I wish I asked his name, he was so attentive and seemed like such a great person. The food was a good value for the price, and for such a high end place the price was amazing ($65 for 2 meals, and 2 bottomless fresh pressed orange juice) Everything was great and I can’t wait to come back

    The teas were amazing! So smooth, so fragrant and tasted delicious. The sandwiches were nice bite size portions and perfect in the sense that it was not too much. The two types of scones were the highlight for me. The desserts were very pretty and not too sweet. I am planning on bringing my mother so she too can partake in this lovely experience! Thank you.

    Lovely and quiet for a hotel breakfast. Staff were courteous and attentive. And yet, coffee was cold, orders came out wrong and in a muddled up order. The food was good, but for the price, there's also far better options out in the city. In brief, it's ok to good, but worth checking out nearby options.

    We attended the special Coronation Tea at $100/ pp. The Sovereign Ballroom is one of the loveliest rooms in the city. I have enjoyed brunch there on previous occasions and the food was, as ever, very good. The service, however, fell well below expectations. We were a table of 3 and had to ask for the 4th place setting to be removed and even then it took a very long time before the server returned to the table to remove it. The service was completely inattentive and so very slow. Milk was not provided with our tea and, again, had to be requested and then waited on. The room was absolutely freezing cold and the curtains next to our table were soiled. The afternoon was meant to be a special treat for my birthday with my husband and good friend, but frankly, it was a disappointment.

    My fiance and I had the afternoon tea on her birthday. Overall the food and tea was very good and neither of us could finish everything. It's nice for the experience but I'm not sure the value is there for the afternoon tea given the price point of around $100~ person after taxes and tip. All in all a positive visit and we left happy even if it's more suited for a special occasion.

    Food was delicious, the only comment was hoping for more options or variations. When ordering tea we weren’t asked what type, and provided English Breakfast- not my first choice, but nonetheless good. Quality of food was excellent, the service was on point, they even surprised us with a mini smoothie at the end. Overall would recommend.

    Had a lovely afternoon tea with my 5 year old daughter! The staff were so friendly and accommodating. The chef came and introduced herself and explained all the cakes and sandwiches she made for us. They have a great kids menu with modified cakes and sandwiches and it was all so cute and themed with a great presentation. They also had hot chocolate with marshmallows instead of tea for the kids! It was a nice room with great ambience. We loved the experience overall! Highly recommended!

    Food and service were amazing. One of the best tea times we’ve had in the city! If tables were a tad bigger, that would be a bonus as once the tiered stand is brought to table , it’s hard to see the person in front of you to have a conversation.

    I was a little late on arriving for breakfast, but the hostess was welcoming and professional about seating me. We were welcomed not just by one server, but by four. The lead server, Hector, was helpful in describing the menu items, and patiently waited while we decided what we wanted to eat. We chose the "Tried and True" option, and I chose the Earl Grey tea to accompany my breakfast; somehow, Hector knew that I love marmalade so he quickly served the delicious orange spread. My niece got the blueberry jelly, and she had no complaints. How does Hector do it? I have to mention that the breakfast was my birthday celebration and Hector brought a plate full of fruit with one candle. He proceeded to sing a birthday song using the Cohen's "Hallelujah" melody. What a surprise! Hector sang beautifully. During our breakfast, there were three other servers and they all took turns asking if we needed anything. Great Service! Great food!

    The ambiance was quiet, comfortable. The cost was too high for what was offered. Other high tea locations offer guests to try different teas, whereas Vic cafe limited your option to only one. The hosts were very welcoming, the waiter tried his best but reached over our food and did not pay attention to the fact that our water had run out of the only pot of tea we were served. A little disappointed really because my expectations were set far too high.
