Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Fairfield

My wife and I dined at 5:30 ahead of a 7:30 concert at Hamer Hall. The place was about half full. Service was excellent. The food was good, although my lamb shank was a little tough. The happy hour drinks prices before 6pm were appreciated. We would definitely recommend The Barre, the only restaurant currently working at the Arts Centre.

Everything was perfect. Thanks so much to all the chefs and staff. It was lovely one of the staff took the instant photo for us. Thank you

Lovely ambience, attentive staff and delicious food.

We dined on Saturday evening. The food is not too fancy. Pretty straight forward. Good servings. The entrees were basic, fried cauliflower & calamari. The broccoli with the main (chicken) was not cooked, could cut it with a knife so had to leave it. The chicken was fine and tasty, my partner had the beef cheek, on mashed potatoe, he said it was good. The dessert was white chol. metifluer (can't pronounce it) too difficult to eat with a spoon, our hands were sore after trying to cut through the pastry, but it tasted nice. This is supposed to be 5 star hotel, I don't think it is. I would say it's 4 star. The server who took our order was really lovely and pleasant. The guy bringing the water around was friendly, but smelt of bad BO, and it wafted around as he was walking around, that can put you off your meal. We weren't let hungry which is a positive.

Very nice High Tea for special occasion. Quite pricey so would only go there for special occasion. Staff were friendly and chatty, but not very attentive. Had to ask for drinks menu twice (first person obviously forgot.) Had to walk to other side of restaurant to order second drink as no staff were in the vicinity for some time.
