   Food was great. Few people there. People probably just don’t know about it.

   Afternoon tea was $75, which I wouldn't mind paying if it wasn't so mediocre and the service was so poor. The tea was pretty good, but for an expensive tea, one would think that the settings would have been nicer, would have cubed sugar, etc. We were missing plates and had to grab them from a nearby table. The scones were good, but the single tea sandwich was sad and the food overall was mediocre. The service was also not great. No one would come back to the table for very long periods of time and the man at the front door was rude. The hotel itself was just not nice, has a run-down feel. I love nice, historic places, but this place feels sketchy.

   We were there for the Cherry Blossom Tea Service, way over priced for hardly any food and poor quality. It is billed as Cherry Blossom Tea Service but there is no decor or details for the experience. Would not recommend, do not waste your money.

   Went for afternoon tea. Tea was amazing. Food… not so great. Very expensive for an okay experience. Looked and tasted like you could have done it at home. Service was great!

   Read the other bad reviews on the tea service -my exact same experience. For the price, I didn’t expect a tea bag vs loose leaf tea; the bread seemed stale (or maybe that was intentional?) and the sandwiches had the bare minimum of ingredients spread in them. The lobster rolls were good and plentiful though. I did not care for the scones and lack of variety presented on the plate. The hotel and the dining room are severely worn and outdated and have a chemical cleaner smell. It’s a shame this property isn’t upgraded because it’s quite quaint. Our server was as nice as could be but didn’t know a lot of the ingredients, which for me is not good since I’m allergic to nuts. Spend the extra $40 and go to another high/afternoon tea.

    This was a birthday celebration with the Valentine’s Day tea. The food was excellent. The server was awesome. He was kind, knowledgeable and very professional.
