   We attend the Afternoon Tea every year for Valentine's Day. Every year our hostess Wanda has been wonderful! She is attentive and very sociable. We'll be back next year. Bill & Peggy

   Big increase in price. Not sure the value is there. Sadly, will not be back at that price point

   Really well done. Formal but not pretentious. A great experience and the food was outstanding, but it's not about the food rather the experience.

   Christmas Tea with friends, but we couldn’t get in before or right after. By January 5th all Christmas decorations were down. Service was good, but for the price someone should have been making sure our tea was hot and new cups brought out, etc. more often. The price was more than what was stated on website, but gratuities were included. Very nice, just expected more. Wait staff, wonderful!

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND! This was the perfect way to have an experience with a friend I haven’t seen in a while. There was endless service, atmosphere and (most importantly) bubbly :) We had the best time and I will absolutely be back with friends & family when they come to town.

    Enjoyed the Holiday Tea with several members of my family as a Christmas treat. We had a wonderful time talking and listening to the pianist play a wide variety of music. The food was delicious and plentiful. I will certainly be back!

    This was a fantastic experience for my teen and I who love to attend afternoon teas. Service was exceptional, we loved getting a complimentary picture together in front of a Christmas tree, and the venue is impeccable. My teen, by her own definition, is a pickier eater than a toddler, and they allowed her to order the children's tea, which was a much better choice for her palate. She had never been offered hot cocoa instead of tea, and she loved that option. She was even more excited when she got her own pot full of tea. Our server and all servers and employees at the Phoenician were so welcoming and gracious. I loved my sandwiches. She loved hers- eating more than she usually does at tea. My only con, I was disappointed in the scones. I couldn't eat the cranberry one, there were so many cranberries it was overwhelming. The Devonshire cream was flat tasting (usually one of my favorite parts of tea.) The dessert was plentiful and beautifully presented. And we so enjoyed the piano player! Overall; it was a fantastic experience and one we were both glad to share.

    We have come to Holiday Tea every year for 15 years. The prices keep going up and the food quality keeps going down. The sandwiches are tasty but almost always stale. The scones are bread discs rather than scones. If you put enough clotted cream and lemon curd, they are edible. The deserts are beautiful crafted but most taste terrible. It is a hefty price tag to pay for the ambiance. The service however is always excellent. The ladies are very attentive and professional!

    My daughter and I have enjoyed holiday tea at The Phoenician many times over the past several years. This is always a special time for us, and we look forward to dressing up, sampling new teas, and allowing ourselves to indulge! First and foremost, the service was PHENOMENAL!! We had more than one individual attending to our every need and want!! The staff were friendly, timely with our bites, and very professional! The scones and tea did not disappoint! The lemon curd was divine, and the cranberry scone was delicious all on its own. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same about the finger sandwiches or the desserts. They either lacked flavor, or tasted ‘mass produced’. I just don’t see the value in spending $260 for a pot of tea and a few scones.

    A lovely, indulgent way to spend an afternoon. It was a little bit loud with the chatter and piano, but it made for a relaxed environment. The savories (with extra helpings if you want) were delicious. The scones were warm and fresh. The pastries were *almost* too pretty to eat. The tea and sparkling wine were delightful. We might make this a holiday tradition from now on.

    Service was amazing, my group had a wonderful time. The courses were good but did feel a bit banquet food style, which isn't the level I was expecting at that price point. I did expect a bit more decor and for the experience to feel over the top, maybe my expectations were too high. Overall we had a great experience and would return with adjusted expectations.

    Excellent holiday outing. Wanda is amazing. She’s been there 23 years and I’ve enjoyed seeing her on each occasion. Value, this year I think they’ve overdone the pricing. Makes it hard for many to attend.

    The hotel is absolutely gorgeous, at least from what we were able to see in the lobby and dining area. It definitely had a holiday vibe and it was exciting to be there. The staff were super friendly and the service was superb. However, for the price we paid for a party of two, for sandwich samplers, scones, and mini desserts, we could have fed a party of four at a nice steakhouse. I understand that price point heavily depends on a person’s budget/perspective and we had a rough idea of cost prior to going, but we were left hungry an hour later after spending $261; no alcohol was ordered. We were also seated on a couch/coffee table section and not in the main dining area, which made it a little awkward to sit and eat properly. It was a nice experience, but can be achieved at other tea places in the valley.

    We enjoyed Afternoon Tea at The Phoenician (resort) yesterday ... it was wonderful! It was a special treat for my mother-in-law. The experience, and it was exactly that, "an experience", was three courses. We started with tea and then we enjoyed more champagne than tea. :) The finger sandwiches were great, the scones were the best I've ever had, and the pastries were delicious! AND the service was phenomenal!!! I totally get why this was voted Best Afternoon Tea in Metro Phoenix! Highly recommend this for anyone looking for a special occasion destination. #afternoontea #thephoenician #phoenicianscottsdale #scottsdale #resort #luxury #luxuryresort #marriott #marriottbonvoy #experience #hightea #specialoccasion #champagne #pastry

    Relaxing, enjoyable way to spend a lovely afternoon. The pianist was outstanding as was the server, hostess, food and presentation. You deserve this treat, at least yearly. I would recommend a sign posted with the menu and a reminder that those who arrive before 2pm that seating for Tea begins at 2pm.
