    The experience was great overall, but I’m giving it 4 stars because all the sandwiches were served on the same white bread. For the price, it would have been nice to have some variety. Otherwise, everything else was excellent.

    Sebastian was a wonderful server. I’d recommend going early and during the week as we had a lovely window seat. Great teas and a pianist that played an eclectic range of musicians sic for all tastes.

    Amy was absolute wonderful. She was knowledgeable of tea and the local site to see and hike. Thank you Amy for a wonderful time. I’ve done tea in London and this was completely on par with Fortnum and Mason. The beauty you see while having tea is stunning. It will take your breath away.

    High Tea at the Rundle Bar is always a wonderful experience. The service is so gracious, the view is outstanding, and the tea, sandwiches, and cakes are always beyond delicious. It's perfect for celebrating a special occasion. We generally go to celebrate our anniversary. But it is equally appropriate for just just taking a break from our busy lives. We have never been disappointed by the food or the service! We highly recommend!!!

    Enjoyed the afternoon tea experience in the upper portion of the Rundle Bar. This was my second time so that should tell you how much I truly enjoyed it. Food was phenomenal and love the tea selection. Our server was great and very helpful when choosing our teas. Prior to our tea we enjoyed a cocktail at the bar downstairs and I enjoyed that as well. Would highly recommend the afternoon tea experience or even just a quick cocktail downstairs! I recommend trying a cocktail with their Rundle Bar Gin made by Wild Life Distillery, local to Canmore.
