    It was a fun afternoon tea for my granddaughter and two friends. It will definitely be a must do again outing. The food was delicious, but a few more of each item for a party of five would have been nice.

    Great idea & foundations for something excellent, but lacking in execution. The finger sandwiches are too long to actually be finger sandwiches. There is an overpowering amount of dill in the salmon sandwiches. The cucumber in the cucumber sandwiches should be English Cucumber. The biggest sin though is that despite having tea kettles equiped for loose leaf tea, the tea used is Tazo tea. With that said, the lounge is very comfortable, the scones are delicious, and the service is genuinely excellent. With some changes to the menu, this experience could easily jump to being an authentic & excellent tea service.

    Gabby was our server and was attentive without hovering. Kadie (sp) was on hand to fill in the service gaps. The high tea food was delicious and the tea was very good with several varieties to choose from. I hope high tea at the Regency becomes a ‘thing’ because if it does, we’ll be back often.

    Enjoyed a wonderful afternoon tea at the Iron Side Whiskey Lounge in the Regency Hotel. Delicious sandwiches, excellent tea, and a relaxed atmosphere. Free valet parking was a fantastic bonus. Highly recommend!
