                                                          The holiday afternoon English tea was outstanding. 20 different tea options and three options for the food, classic, vegetarian and vegan.

                                                          We expected and thought we had a great experience, until we received the check. We attended the all inclusive holiday tea, which has a set price. So we knew what the tea would cost: $160 for 2. When we arrived, our waitress asked us which drink we would like, ‘Mimosa,” “Champagne,” or “Sparkling wine.” My wife and I said, “Champagne”. We believed, as it was presented to us, it was included. The rest of the meal went well. At the end, when we were given the check, we were charged $90 for 2 glasses of Champaign! Nothing more to say. We were scammed into buying 2 glasses of $45/glass champagne. Needless to say, we will NEVER do this again!

                                                          I brought my mother in law to Zoe’s on Boxing Day for high tea. The hotel and restaurant looked absolutely beautiful and the food was outstanding. However, the service we received made the day. Everyone from the parking valets, to the hostess, coat check and especially our waitress made it a special day with their cheerfulness and outstanding service.

                                                          Way too much money for what it was. We'd expect outstanding service and food for that price.

                                                          High tea. It has been our Christmas day tradition. However, this time, I think we are paying for the renovations. The portions, especially the gluten free ones were the smallest we’ve ever had. The first thing we noticed were the tiny scones. They had been our favourite, but they were so tiny. We also noticed the absence of the macaroons. It’s pricey and I think that unfortunately, this will be our last time. We love Zoe’s and Wilfred’s, but I guess the portion sizes do not match the money anymore.
