this was a special occasion celebratory high tea- it ended up a fun story of how you can get duped by the label of four seasons teas were open for all to sniff - in time of viral illness, doesn't seem best practice worst earl gray tea i have ever had- how do you mess up something so basic the food was subpar- pastries stale, the savory foods were salty not savory service was very slow at this price i would have expected superior snacks and great service.. i would have been better off with lipton and trader joes diy at home!

Love this place for afternoon tea - pretty much everything was perfect. If it wasn’t, they seem open to feedback. I want to come back every month to try their new menus!

Both servers were SO friendly. I've been before and really appreciated them and the amazing chef. Probably the best afternoon tea in the bay area!

Not as good a tea experience at Lisa's Tea Treasures or Maison Daniel. Food is sub-par for sure. Pricing is similar to Rosewood, which again, is a better experience than here.

Sadly this was underwhelming. Service was great but did not make up for the lackluster food. I can see the concept but the items were not well executed: Sesame balls were tough and overdone, the scones were dry, and some of the other items would crumble after grabbing them off the plate. Be mindful that this place also includes a 20% service charge automatically in the bill for a party of two. This was not disclosed up front!

Have been wanting to try Afternoon Tea at the Four Seasons for quite some time. My parents and I had a wonderful experience. Offered both sweet and savory bites with multiple tea selections. Service was amazing! Jonas and John were professional and attentive. Will definitely come back!
