We continue to frequent The Fairmont for Afternoon Tea and what is so exciting , is that they continue to always up their game and deliver the most outstanding experience around. David R. was an exceptional waiter who did not miss a beat or a detail. Our food was lovely in presentation and exquisite in taste. We routinely go during the holidays and to celebrate our birthdays, and we are beyond pleased that with each and every visit, they continue to strive for excellence and the best Afternoon Tea experience in the greater Seattle area.

Service was wonderful! Very informative about the tea leaves and treats. Quiet environment, don’t remember music except ambient chatter and sounds from neighbors. Conveniently located downtown so you’re in the middle of everything which is nice. Valet is on site and cost $30. Overall, very pricy experience though. With 20% tip it came to $100/pp and we could only choose one tea leaf the entire experience (other places let you alternate). I wouldn’t return for high tea, and I’d advise others to comp shop high tea in the area before making the decision at The Fairmont.

We sat in the gorgeous lobby on comfortable chairs and a couch with a low table. Tea started with a warm scone, then you proceed to savory finger sandwiches and finally to the top tier for a variety of beautiful, dainty, and delicious sweets. All the food is carefully made. Service is friendly and attentive. This is a lovely treat for a birthday or other special occasion. It is on the expensive side, but if one considers all the work that goes into preparing this lovely food, and presenting it to you in lovely tableware by thoughtful servers, the cost is commensurate with what you are getting.

Great experience for my mom and I and my niece (5-years-old). It was my niece's first time at tea and they were so kind, attentive, and caring. Took care of my gluten free allergies as well. Great taste and quality. Only negative, is some of the items weren't as kid friendly, but my niece enjoyed trying everything!
