    food was amazing and came fast! the ambience was great, a lot of gorgeous decoration to look at. I ordered the ricotta pancakes, my partner had fried french toast. Everything was so pretty i almost didn’t know how to eat it nor did i want to mess it up. The entrance is a bit tight spaced when its busy, but having a reservation makes it easier to be seated. 10/10 recommend! Ps the cocktails are also amazing.

    Experience was amazing. I made reservations on Open Table and informed them of any allergies. Once we got there, we checked in and seated on time. Celeste is absolutely breathtaking. The decor was so timeless and space looked so open. The table settings was beautiful and tables include bag hooks which is a plus. Gorgeous chandeliers. The tea pots were super cute. The staff was very hands on with everyone and kept checking in with all tables. The food was served either good timing. Great selection of teas. I loved the experience. My party loved it as well. Everything from the teas to the food and desserts was delicious. The food is made fresh and made with love, simple yet so tasty and elegance. I highly recommend.

    We had a wonderful experience enjoying holiday tea at the Claremont Hotel. It is a pricey treat, but we really enjoyed every minute. The rainy day outside made the vibe even more cozy and comfortable. Food was lovely and enjoyable and varied. Tea was really magical! Hope to do again someday.
