   I treated my best friend and I to the Nutcracker Tea and it was an absolute delight. We both decided that it would be a yearly tradition from here on out. The food was delicious! My friend is allergic to gluten and the kitchen planned ahead and had a lovely tea all ready for her. The table was beautiful and the service was 10 stars. This is definitely a great way to start your Christmas festivities.

   The flavours in each of the items on the tea tiers were so vivid & fresh. It was a pure bliss to enjoy! The festive music was a perfect background & the decorations made our Nutcracker Tea the best kickoff for the Christmas season!!

   We had Rita as our server and she was excellent!! She was very helpful and attentive and went above and beyond. She answered all of our questions. The decorating for the Nutcracker was fantastic. Beautiful table settings. The selection of tea was superb. It would be nice if you sold a variety package of tea bags to purchase for ourselves or for Christmas gifts for others. They were delicious. And the food was all delicious. The table was nice and spacious as two guests had mobility issues. Thank you for accommodating us for that. We had a great time and will definitely get back. I went to Alice in Wonderland either my daughter in laws and really enjoyed that one as well. The only complaint was that the music was way too loud and ut was hard to hear our conversation at the table,. We Thank you for a Wonderful enjoyable time and we wish you a Wonderful holiday season. Gird bless you and all of your Wonderful staff. Sincerely, Wanda Vogt

   We had a lovely time, the food was delicious and the teas were wonderful. The table was decorated simply but beautifully. When I booked I was given a choice of having our tea in the lounge in the lobby or in the restaurant, and said the lounge is more festively decorated but the restaurant is cozier/quieter. We were really glad we chose the restaurant as the lounge had louder music, and was out in the lobby where people were walking by and it was busier. The restaurant was much better for tea!

   Our family went to the Nutcracker High Tea and had an amazing experience. The decor, service, food and atmosphere were all excellent. It's so nice to be back in the dining room at The Fairmont!

   It was a very nice table setting for the Alice in Wonderland theme. Our server or waiter was EXCELLENT!!!! He deserves a raise. He was very attentive and kind. We did not like the Boot table. It was way too crowded for 3 people. Very uncomfortable. We asked for a bigger table but was told no even though there were plenty of other empty tables. The food wasn’t great. Just okay. Nothing outstanding especially for the price.

    We visited the Velvet Glove for their Alice in Wonderland Afternoon Tea. The service was good and the atmosphere was nice, but the food did not taste fresh. Considering that most of the items on the menu featured baked goods, it was disappointing that all of them seemed slightly stale, as if they were prepared several days in advance. For the price, I can’t recommend their Afternoon Tea menu.
