    Love Fairmont hotels but $195 per person and then an automatic 25% gratuity plus tax was far too much to pay for the quality. If I am going to pay nearly $800, the food should be A++. Unfortunately, it was a B at best.

    The setup was great- not all tables filled at different times allowed for a more relaxed environment. There was no rush to have us depart after finishing our meal. Food was terrific, and service was very friendly and attentive. The $260 per plate makes this a one time event but worth it on that basis.

    Excellent and friendly service, excellent tea and well- prepared food. The view was beautiful and the harpist set a nice scene. I’ve been to several afternoon teas in other US cities and this was the first that rose to the expected level of service and food quality that I’ve experienced in San Diego. While on the pricier side (especially the champagne markup), it is on par with afternoon tea at other luxury properties in big cities. A lovely treat and lovely afternoon gathering with friends. ( The scones were fantastic!). We will be back.

    The tea service was incredible! It was definitely a splurge but sooo worth it. We took my dad here to celebrate his retirement and a good time was had by all! The harpist was incredible as were all the servers that waited on us. Big shout out to Andrea; she was soo lovely! Thank you 💗💗

    We had lots of fun . We even headed over to the bar and that’s where the fun continued with speciality drinks. Rusty is an amazing bar tender.

    Celebrated my friend's retirement with Afternoon Tea. We had the best table in the house by the fireplace and piano. And fortuitous that the pianist played my friend's favorite classical pieces. Staff was attentive and friendly. Food and tea were fantastic. It was the perfect afternoon to celebrate my friend.

    Terrible service. Untrained staff. Understaffed event, so everyone was not only poorly trained, but overwhelmed. Very expensive. Not worth the nearly $500 bill for 1 glass of Champagne, caviar, and 2 oysters each for 2 people. Also, it was very noisy.

    Amazing for Christmas Eve - they go all out with the ambiance and food and some surprise visits from Santa and Mrs. Claus and the elves. And they are pet friendly! Plus every morsel from the tea was delicious. The duck bahn-mi sandwich and a tarts with custard were my favorites, and my husband loved the scones. And our pup Finley loved the bowl of water that says “Boss” on it! Definitely the right spot if you want to get into the holiday spirit.
