    The friendliness of all the staff from the minute we arrived to the minute we left. The food and the presentation was excellent. We were served by the lovely Andrea, who was professional, friendly, helpful and very witty. The service was prompt and attentive. Several staff interacted with us during our visit. All of them were very nice and added to our amazing experience. We had the table for 90 minutes and our afternoon tea with prosecco was fantastic. The atmosphere was perfect for the setting, adding this to the art deco feel and look of the Belmont room tied the whole experience into a very special day for us to celebrate my partner Tonys' 65th birthday. Unexpectedly, Tony was presented with a small birthday cake including candle, while the piano player joined in with a rendition of Happy Birthday to you. A nice touch. As we left the building, we chatted with Morag (and had a great laugh) at the entrance to the other area of Betty's tea rooms. All areas of the building that we saw, were spotlessly clean, including the amazing art deco ladies toilets on the top floor. We would happily recommend Betty's tea rooms and are already planning to travel back from Edinburgh, later in the year, and hopefully we will be served again by the wonderful Andrea. Thank you everyone for making this a special day for us.

    We booked the afternoon tea at Bettys as part of a birthday weekend celebration. Everything from the food, to the service and the pianist we’re outstanding.

    Service was poor, had to ask twice for a pot of tea. Staff focused on redressing tables rather than looking after those seated. Never asked if we would like anything further For £160 + we weren’t even there for an hour, very disappointed was an 85th birthday treat, it wasn’t special or memorable. We were tucked behind a screen were staff chatted. The service in Harrogate was superior.

    We went for my daughter's 30th. The service from our waitress Ann was amazing, so attentive, kind and just generally she helped make it a lovely experience. The lady pianist played many songs old/new and again contributed to the overall ambience and occasion. I think like all afternoon teas it's overpriced for what you actually get but it's not something you do every day so as a one off it's ok.

    Not disabled friendly , had pre booked an afternoon tea experience and was told I had to go upstairs or my booking could not be held . Once eventually up the stairs with great pain and difficulty was then told that the toilets were on another level upstairs to that .
