    Wonderful experience for all. The desserts and sandwiches were superb and Zoe’s will accommodate allergies or preferences. The tea is outstanding. Thank goodness we are able to purchase favorites from the restaurant for home brewing. We went on race Sunday - so it was busy. Ensure you make reservations. So many walk-ins were unable to be accommodated but were offered other dates. I’ll be back soon for sure!

    This was our first time having High Tea. Everything was outstanding from the window table to the variety of food presented. We left nothing behind except the dishes. We can hardly wait to do a repeat visit. We are in our 70's proving its never too late to start a new tradition. Good job Zoe's.

    Very good food and service, delightful ambiance in a beautiful historic room, but very expensive compared to pre-pandemic prices. Have often taken out of town visitors up until now, but may not do so again. Too pricey for a light meal.

    Horrible experience for us as guests of the hotel. We asked to sit by heaters and were taken to a spot with no heaters present. We were told by the assistant manager Austin that this was the only place we could be seated (party of 6) simply not true! Asked for blankets - took 10 minutes to get them. Asked to have the fireplace to be turned on told it was not working - again not true. Would not recommend to anyone and unfortunately won’t stay at this Fairmont property again. Austin was condescending and not a problem solver or people person.

    The experience and service were great! Food was awesome! The only feedback I have is about the lack of parking at the hotel- we were lucky to find a spot however the availability is very limited. Also, entering and exiting the main entrance from Rideau St. was very stressful because pedestrians do not follow signage - there may need to be some thought about how to make entering and exiting the main entrance easier and safe for everyone!

    We loved the setting! It’s located in the beautiful chateau Laurier with high ceilings and large windows. The food is not on par with the venue or the pricing that comes with it. The ribeye steak was mediocre at best and chewy. The burgers were uninspired. The tuna decent. The desserts were the best part. If I return again it’ll be for dessert/drinks only.

    High Tea service was lovely. Great service and a nice room, if a little loud. Sweets and savouries were good, our group of six seemed to prefer the savouries, though the macarons were delish! Tea is included in the prix fixe, which wasn’t clear to me (newby). We enjoyed the creamy maple and the green tea from Japan. Nobody in the room was wearing a hat or fascinator, some in jeans. Have a plan for parking, there weren’t lots of options and all required a bit of hike. Some tables looked to be chair/walker accessible, there were stairs up to others tables. Was a fantastic post shopping girls gathering. Highly recommended and felt fancy.

    On the positive, the roasted tomato soup was excellent. On the negative: 1-Service was extremely slow. 2-I had the seared yellow fin tuna as the may dish. You would expect the outside of the tuna to be actually seared and the inside cold. Instead the outside was baked and the inside warm. And no wasabi or any other sauce. Not a great experience for the price paid.

    The service was amazing. However it took almost an hour to get the tray. When it did arrive there was a hair in the dessert. Expected some sort of compensation for that but nothing was done. The saving grace was the service but otherwise a disappointment because of how long it took to receive the food
