   This is my second time doing a fun afternoon tea service. I really enjoyed it the first time however this visit the wait staff seemed a bit unenthusiastic, like they were reading from a script and not really very engaging and felt forced. I gave the waitress dietary restrictions and she left and came back then asked us if there were any dietary restrictions as if we hadn’t just had that conversation. The staff who brought tea sampling around was much more engaging. My last experience was much better and Queen Mary herself checked in on us, so I will still return and hope this was a one-off. Food and tea was great as always!

   Christmas at Queen Mary's Tea room followed by shopping at their Emporium across the street is an absolute must. Delicious and so joyful!

   My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience today. The service was excellent. One little gal was a bit harried initially, but not rude. I'm sure it was due to the busy nature of it being a Saturday. The tea room was so festively decorated for the Christmas season. Our tea and lunch was delicious! I had the smoked salmon quiche with fresh fruit and green salad, and she had the curry beef pasties with soup and fresh fruit. We loved it last year, so repeated our selections this year. We also ordered the orange cranberry scones with cream and they were awesome as well. I have been to Queen Mary's several times over the years, and this was our 2nd annual holiday visit...it has now become tradition! It is well worth the trip, but be prepared for the expense.

   This is a fantastic tea room, always well-decorated, but casual atmosphere, friendly staff, and an amazing selection of teas. I highly recommend it.

   Third visit here. Each time a little less enamored with this tea house. Arrived 15 minutes early- they were very crowded. Came back 10 minutes later, waited a few minutes to be checked in and was told that the previous party was still at the table. By the time we got seated, it was 15 minutes into our reservation time. Were offered a complimentary champagne, which was declined as alcohol triggers my migraines. Seating was tight- felt wedged in between two parties of larger sizes and it was pretty noisy- not in a cheery, festive, holiday way. Was expecting a lot more as this is their Christmas themed afternoon tea.... but not much had changed- except flavors of the sorbet, the soup flavor and the treats. Overall, left feeling hungry and disappointed with this afternoon tea experience.

   The queen Mary tea room is a very special dining experience. Mary has cultivated a wonderful culture of enjoying what a property should be like continually good service good food and wonderful tea. I plan on being back very soon.

   We had a delightful time! It’s just so pretty in there; decorated for Christmas and so colorful! We had made reservations and had to split up our party on line. Mary noticed that we were together so she accommodated us by moving the table to fit our wants. She was wonderful our entire visit. Our service was impeccable. The little girls we were with had a wonderful time! It was a great start to the Holiday season.

   We've been to the Queen Mary Tea Room many times over the years. There was a period during Covid times when they cut back on their offerings in their high tea service, but they seem to have bounced back. The place is quite small, and we had four people crammed into a small area. That was a bit uncomfortable. Other than that, everything was wonderful. Our server was attentive and had a GREAT sense of humor. The choice of teas was fantastic. The food and sweets were fantastic. It was a lovely afternoon. Prices are a bit expensive, but high tea is expensive pretty much anywhere you go.

   Really tasty tea selection, and the gluten free service was excellent. All of the food was done super well, and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable.
