My sister and I had a great experience at Chez Philippe for afternoon tea. The tea was wonderful quality, organic and loose leaf, with great flavor and strength. Plenty of cream and sugar was supplied for the two of us; we didn't have to request more even though we both like our tea on the sweeter side. We loved all of the sandwiches except the tomato and cucumber (just a matter of personal taste; the sandwich was still very fresh). The curry chicken salad croissant was delicious and our favorite. However, the second course of a fresh scones with clotted cream and jam was absolutely DIVINE. The scones of the day was a cranberry cinnamon brown sugar variety. It came out warm and smelling incredible. I have NEVER had a scones so perfect in texture and sweetness level. The top was crisp with sprinkled cinnamon ans sugar, and the inside was possibly the most perfectly moist baked good I have ever had. The top and cranberries gave the perfect level of sweetness, and with the clotted cream, it was perfect. I have no points of improvement there. The final sweets course was actually our least favorite. I wasn't a fan of the lack of flavor or large amount of food coloring in the pistachio macarons (and pistachio is one of my favorite flavors for sweets). The chocolate cherry tart they provided was more of a cookie with a layer of hard chocolate and some chocolate cherry cream piped on top. The flavor was good, but I was expecting more creamy filling and less hard chocolate and cookie shell based in the tart description. The presentation of everything was beautiful. My only real point of disappointment was that our waitress forgot to pack my remaining scone in our to-go bag as I requested, but I'll be sure to remind our server next time. We'll definitely go back!

The service was impeccable and the food exquisite. The only problem is that we were fed too much food🤣. A fantastic dining experience. We were celebrating our 58th wedding anniversary and they made the night memorable.

The ambience, food, service and overall experience were perfect for my husband and I as we were celebrating our 7th wedding anniversary! We selected the Prix Fixe four course and each course and small bites were “chefs kiss”! Our waiter, Phillip, was the best and very knowledgeable about each dish! Lastly, before our last course, we were invited to the kitchen to meet Chef Keith for a refreshing palate cleanser. After dinner, we received a nice gift bag with a lovely candle, signed card, and fresh banana bread! I would highly recommend Chez Philippe for a special occasion or date night!

Outstanding dinner from every aspect, food, wine and service were great. My wife and I has the 7 course tasting menu with wine. All of the courses were different and spot on….the bonus bites were a special treat. Could not have asked for better service from the team. Thank you!!
