    It was very good, but expensive! $99 per person is a bit much.

    A little pricy but j knew that going in. A lovely treat...the sandwiches were delicious and not tiny squares...they were half slices and filling. We sat by the fire which was the best seat in the house ...IMO Service was excellent.

    Scones and sandwiches were both very good. Quite disappointed with the Christmas Tea dessert selections. We felt they were all marginal.

    The food was okay the sandwiches were a little dry, n the desserts were dry as well. The bottle of Moet & Chandon was a very over price, but it was enjoyed by us 5 sistas. The Xmas decor made up for it as we took beautiful group photos.

    We booked a table at the Fairmont for afternoon tea, so we could see all the beautiful Christmas decorations and they did not disappoint. What did however was the Festive Tea at $99/person. Although there was some Christmas specialities, the gingerbread cake was delicious, it clearly was nothing special. The sandwiches did come crust less but were in plain white and brown bread, not a mini croissant in sight, although the smoked salmon tart was exceptional. I have had afternoon tea numerous times elsewhere, and the value of this particular tea is not evident. The service however was exceptional, Kudos to our server!
