    We were promptly greeted and seated per our reservation. (Best seat in the house, in front of the main windows) Sean, our server was outstanding. Knowledgeable, humorous and engaging! The staff were courteous and efficient. All parts of the meal were enjoyable. We loved every minute of our time spent there. We hope to visit again!

    Enjoyed our experience quite a bit. Our server Beth, was lovely. Really enjoyed her accent as she explained all our teas, and foods on the triple tray. The foods were fantastic tasting. Liked the teas as well.

    The Royal Stewart Dining Room is a lighthouse of understated brilliance.  The professional staff provides exceptional service, and the menu embodies eclectically tasty suggestions for the discriminating palate.  The Pork Duo meal, as was the Tuscon Tomato Soup, was absolutely brilliant.  The cheesecake dessert melted in our shared mouths.  A restaurant that deserves a visit from James Beard.

    The Afternoon Tea experience was very special. The view from our table by the window was beautiful and our server was as attentive as she could be with the tables she was managing. The number of courses was good, and we had enough to eat, despite the portions being quite small. The server made our tea experience very special, for my husband's birthday. We'd love to come back to the stately Prince of Wales Hotel.

    Disappointed…$158 incl tax, parking fee of $10.50, and a reluctant 10% tip. My daughter was so excited to go for afternoon tea at the Prince of Whales in Waterton. We drove 5 hrs for this experience. The price was very high at $64.00 each. For that price, I had high expectations because I am very careful with my money. The ambiance was fantastic. We were seated and waited quite awhile for someone to come and serve us. There was a menu of items served in the table. I saw that there were two fillings in the sandwich options that I hoped to exchange for 2 more of the others on the tray. When one server, not sure of her name, came to offer us cold water, I asked her about making a slight and easy change, she politely said she would check with the kitchen. Our server, Savanna, came to the table and said, Are you the ones wanting to make changes? I said yes and she informed us that the kitchen was not willing to make the changes. The servers go through a story line about the tea as well as what the items were and how they suggest you choose the order in which you eat the items. When she brought the food tier, she seemed uninterested in what is supposed to be said about the “tea time” experience and had some attitude. Perhaps we were too much trouble for asking for changes? It took quite a long time to have anyone come back and ask us if we wanted more hot water and tea. You have the opportunity to try all 8 varieties. We asked another server named Maya and she was fantastic and friendly. The first plate we received had 2 kinds of scones with a delicious jam. After adding the jam to our plate to put on the scone, it did make a bit of a mess to our plate. These plates should be replaced with clean ones for the next food options from the tea tier. The food was alright but potions small. I understand that afternoon tea is pricey. If they charge the fancy price, the service, experience as well as the option to make easy changes should be accommodated.

    Dear Zabrina, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your Afternoon Tea experience did not meet your expectations, especially after such a long journey. While we're glad you enjoyed the ambiance and Maya's service, we regret that other aspects — including service consistency and flexibility — fell short. Your comments have been shared with our team, and we truly appreciate the opportunity to improve. We hope to welcome you again for a more enjoyable visit. Warm regards, Skye, Restaurant Supervisor
