Should be experienced at least once. Cool & interesting at first. After an hour the decor started to look tacky. Service was okay, seemed like our server was on autopilot, kind of rushed through the presentation. Server forgot our water. Presentation of the food was delightful-really pretty to look at. There were more scones & deserts than actual food. Salty cod in a lettuce leaf was awful, deviled eggs & tea do not mix. Visually the desserts were beautiful, taste 4/10. Tea selection was good. Glad I tried it, but nothing to write home about-I didn’t see the value.

We celebrated our anniversary with tea at the Fairmont. Everything was lovely. The food was delicious and beautiful. The service was fantastic. The “secret garden” behind the bookcase was fun!

Great English Garden afternoon tea experience on a rainy Saturday. It was like escaping to a beautiful garden. The food and tea selections were delightful. Definitely recommend! The pastries are a tad on the sweet side for my liking, which meant more for my husband.

The decor/setting for High Tea was excellent. Very well done. Service was fine. As a regular patron of Notch 8, I had expected better cuisine. First, the amount was rather light at the price. In addition, some of the sweets did not taste as if they were made same day. Scones were very good. From a cuisine perspective, I would not return for high tea but would return for the regular menu because it is very good and consistent.

Honestly, if it wasn’t for the ambiance, decor, and service, I’d give the high tea experience a 5/10. Food was subpar given the high cost of $76/pp. The only items that made the food stand out were the scones and cotted cream. Finger sandwiches were stale, short rib tarte was dry and bland, and the offering overall lacked cohesiveness. I would not come here again nor recommend it.

This was a nice experience, but we worked really hard to let the staff know on both email and on open table and called for all dietary restrictions and I got an email confirming that everything was written down for our table, but then the server seemed to never look at the notes and even when I said multiple times that we had written it down They still said they had it and then brought out the food wrong and then the kitchen made something again that I couldn’t eat because it seems like no one was looking at the notes when I was pleading for people to look at the notes because it was all there because we didn’t really wanna explain it in person because it is complicated. We have been to high team many times and this was a disappointing experience.

Great and memorable experience. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was awesome too. The tea and food were all made in the Fairmont Hotel and were excellent. It’s actually a pretty good value for the price. Highly recommend.
