    Overall, the experience was nice. The service is a little sterile. There is really no connection between the server and customers. The hostess was wonderful and they were very attentive and friendly.

    The ambiance at Brown Palace is unmatched and surprisingly quiet for such a large area. It feels like an upclass living room and is very intimate. The wait staff are increadibly personable and accomodating, and the high tea is delicious!

    Great experience. Great ambiance. Great pianist. Overall, amazing. The only concern that ever occurred was when the waitress took the bill and didn't bring it back, and we had to ask someone else after 15 minutes to get my card back.

    We LOVE cocktails in the Brown Palace Atrium, John Kite who assembles the jazz quartets is a gem, the music is always wonderful and hearing it and enjoying the terrific space of the Brown Palace Atrium is a treat. We try to go at least once a month.

    This is not the high tea experience it once was. The teas themselves are still very fine, but the pastries are hardly above supermarket quality. And the whole affair has been downgraded to the point that tshirts and sneakers are deemed appropriate. Disappointing is an understatement for $70 per person.
