Excellent and friendly service, excellent tea and well- prepared food. The view was beautiful and the harpist set a nice scene. I’ve been to several afternoon teas in other US cities and this was the first that rose to the expected level of service and food quality that I’ve experienced in San Diego. While on the pricier side (especially the champagne markup), it is on par with afternoon tea at other luxury properties in big cities. A lovely treat and lovely afternoon gathering with friends. ( The scones were fantastic!). We will be back.

The tea service was incredible! It was definitely a splurge but sooo worth it. We took my dad here to celebrate his retirement and a good time was had by all! The harpist was incredible as were all the servers that waited on us. Big shout out to Andrea; she was soo lovely! Thank you 💗💗

Celebrated my friend's retirement with Afternoon Tea. We had the best table in the house by the fireplace and piano. And fortuitous that the pianist played my friend's favorite classical pieces. Staff was attentive and friendly. Food and tea were fantastic. It was the perfect afternoon to celebrate my friend.

Terrible service. Untrained staff. Understaffed event, so everyone was not only poorly trained, but overwhelmed. Very expensive. Not worth the nearly $500 bill for 1 glass of Champagne, caviar, and 2 oysters each for 2 people. Also, it was very noisy.

Amazing for Christmas Eve - they go all out with the ambiance and food and some surprise visits from Santa and Mrs. Claus and the elves. And they are pet friendly! Plus every morsel from the tea was delicious. The duck bahn-mi sandwich and a tarts with custard were my favorites, and my husband loved the scones. And our pup Finley loved the bowl of water that says “Boss” on it! Definitely the right spot if you want to get into the holiday spirit.

My friends and I decided to kick off Christmas weekend with holiday tea at The Grand Del Mar’s Lobby Lounge and it was beautiful! In general The Lobby Lounge is my favorite spot for high tea — they absolutely slayed their holiday edition. It’s the best one I have been to yet. Will definitely be back in 2023! Highly recommend.

Went to holiday tea with my niece and daughter. We were seated alone in another room away from the music and the holiday decorations. Horrible service, we sat with empty water glasses, never offered champagne, and waited for about 45 minutes for our check. We got up to take a picture and the bill was on the table. No thank you, no goodbye and an automatic 20% gratuity. There was no service. Also, another $7 for valet. I would not recommend.
