Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in King East

A beautiful Nutcracker Tea was the perfect way for us to celebrate a very special occasion. The food was elegant, charming and delightfully delicious. This is a unique tea that follows the pattern of a traditional Afternoon Tea in the British style, but one that is delicately and artfully infused with Asian favours. All of this is served in a setting that is contemporarily stylish with an understated elegance. It is always a privilege to hear the wonderful Fazioli piano being played beneath the gorgeous chandelier. The chef was incredibly kind in preparing 2 substitute items to accommodate a very serious food allergy. If I could change anything, it would be the actual tea. For an event of this magnitude, fresh tea rather than bagged tea should be brewed and boiling water must be used. Sadly, our tea arrived only lukewarm. It is also impossible to revive a teabag with more not-hot-enough water (which we had to ask for and which took forever to arrive). Surely, at this pricepoint an additional bag could have been spared. I must admit that our service was very, very minimal. 45 minutes after we had finished every crumb and every sip, my partner finally went in search of someone to bring our bill. We were very happy to linger, truly, but that was quite a long bit of lingering, even in the lovely, lovely setting. We do look forward to another tea in the future.

I would like to compliment the chef for accommodating my request. Dietary restrictions were catered to, very well! As always, the service was exceptional!

Service was amazing and very patient for our party of 9. Afternoon tea was great.

Overall good. Items slightly dry but good flavours. Rushed but kind service.

We had amazing service from a very friendly server. Food was great and the menu was varied and creative.
