   We really enjoyed our afternoon tea but the price is quite high. $99 per person now.

   A little pricy but j knew that going in. A lovely treat...the sandwiches were delicious and not tiny squares...they were half slices and filling. We sat by the fire which was the best seat in the house ...IMO Service was excellent.

   Scones and sandwiches were both very good. Quite disappointed with the Christmas Tea dessert selections. We felt they were all marginal.

   The food was okay the sandwiches were a little dry, n the desserts were dry as well. The bottle of Moet & Chandon was a very over price, but it was enjoyed by us 5 sistas. The Xmas decor made up for it as we took beautiful group photos.

   We booked a table at the Fairmont for afternoon tea, so we could see all the beautiful Christmas decorations and they did not disappoint. What did however was the Festive Tea at $99/person. Although there was some Christmas specialities, the gingerbread cake was delicious, it clearly was nothing special. The sandwiches did come crust less but were in plain white and brown bread, not a mini croissant in sight, although the smoked salmon tart was exceptional. I have had afternoon tea numerous times elsewhere, and the value of this particular tea is not evident. The service however was exceptional, Kudos to our server!

   Nice place and very good food! Sat near the fire place. Rare to find clotted cream. Our server was 10/10

   Service was top notch; super friendly, knowledgeable and timely. Some of the afternoon tea food offerings were a little weak on flavor but overall most were good. Loved the atmosphere and the live music.

   Very cute Tea event but the price is a little high for what you get. I’ve been to a few other ones where the 1st person is the higher price and every add on person is half price. At fairmont it is full price per person. Cute experience just the price I think could be improved.

   A very nice afternoon tea. They were able to accommodate vegetarian and gluten-free. If you park in the parkade, you can walk the plus 15 the entire way to the hotel restaurant giving you the opportunity to dress up year round

    Lovely service. Tea was excellent as were the baked goods. The sandwiches could be a little more exciting, but they were tasty. It was quite expensive for what you got. Overall was a pleasant afternoon.
