    Food was great (but expensive). Service was very slow. Had to wait over an hour for our sandwiches and scones to arrive, by which time our tea was cold.

    We continue to frequent The Fairmont for Afternoon Tea and what is so exciting , is that they continue to always up their game and deliver the most outstanding experience around. David R. was an exceptional waiter who did not miss a beat or a detail. Our food was lovely in presentation and exquisite in taste. We routinely go during the holidays and to celebrate our birthdays, and we are beyond pleased that with each and every visit, they continue to strive for excellence and the best Afternoon Tea experience in the greater Seattle area.

    Service was wonderful! Very informative about the tea leaves and treats. Quiet environment, don’t remember music except ambient chatter and sounds from neighbors. Conveniently located downtown so you’re in the middle of everything which is nice. Valet is on site and cost $30. Overall, very pricy experience though. With 20% tip it came to $100/pp and we could only choose one tea leaf the entire experience (other places let you alternate). I wouldn’t return for high tea, and I’d advise others to comp shop high tea in the area before making the decision at The Fairmont.
