    We booked for 11:30 and got seated right at 11:30. Casa Loma has bookings organized like other high tea locations such as ritz Carleton. Didn’t run into any overlapping issues with seating and waiting. The food was very fresh and delicious, you can tell it was prepared on the day of. No stale pastries. My favourite was the salmon pastry and Monterrey mousse (I forgot the spelling). Service was fantastic! We were served by Caglar and Kaylie, she had reddish brown hair. They were both very friendly and provided amazing hospitality. They gave very friendly reminders about time limits and wrist band visibility but it is expected and a good thing because it’s Casa loma, a historic site. I will come back for another round.

    The hosting staff were so welcoming and courteous. The atmosphere of the hotel and the piano player were also very nice. The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. The service was quite slow though and it was hard to track down our waitress. Overall, we enjoyed our experience and would recommend the afternoon tea experience for a special occasion.

    The food was exceptional as well as the presentation. Our waitress was lovely and they made our anniversary special with an anniversary card and dessert plates that had Happy Anniversary on them. A very nice touch.
