    My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary at the Fairmont. It was a fun and special experience. Our server was attentive and even included a special dessert for us. The food was incredible and inventive. We highly recommend visiting the Fairmont for a wonderful afternoon tea.

    The Fairmont Seattle did a great job with their recent renovation (2020), and this definitely contributes to a great ambience for afternoon tea.

    I had a very nice experience when my daughter and I went for afternoon tea. The food was delicious and the service was wonderful. We were seated in the library section of the bar and although it was quaint and cozy, it was quite stuffy and difficult to feel comfortable in the low chairs seated at a table that was too small. It didn’t feel like we had enough space to truly enjoy the experience. I do wish that the tea could have been held in the George restaurant as it used to be

    I cannot express how much we adore High Tea at the Fairmont. We literally have reservations every month now. They are so welcoming and warm, they accommodate almost every request, and are DOG FRIENDLY. But not just friendly, they seem to bend over backwards for pooches and this alone is heavenly. Our server, David, was an Angel and it was such a pleasure seeing him today. You will feel like a VIP every time you visit.

    Good tea options but there were a couple of dry items in the prefix menu. Service was ok but mostly coz they seemed overbooked. The noise level was ridiculous. Having been to Fairmonts in US and Canada, this was a disappointing experience. I’d rather pay more for good food and service than lower the cost with a lesser experience
