We visited for the Valentine’s Day experience but left disappointed. Our tea took an unusually long time to arrive—we had already finished our scones and waited quite a while before it was finally served. The selection of teas was also quite limited compared to other places, and I was disappointed that they used tea bags instead of loose-leaf tea. Additionally, the service was slow when it came to refilling our hot water. One of the biggest letdowns was the absence of clotted cream, which is a staple for afternoon tea. Overall, the experience did not meet our expectations. We spent $270 for 2 people

Delicious tea, wished it was hotter and they poured your first cup. Some of the bread could be fresher.

The ambiance is nice but the couches and chairs are not conducive for sitting comfortably. The food was average. And for $120 I would have expected more. The tea selection was very small and when they refilled your pot they simply pored hot water over the already used bags. On a positive note, the services was good. I have always used the Royal York’s valet service as it has always been reasonable. They have now more then doubled the cost to $75 and when we picked up the car we were handed our key and they pointed to our car which was covered in snow. As we knew we would us valet we had left our winter coats in the car. Made for a cold experience. One lady was so frustrated she got out of her car and started directing traffic. I have used this service for years and have never seen it so chaotic and unprofessional. I would not recommend the overall experience when there are other spots with better high tea.
