    Our server, Marco, was very helpful and so nice. He loves working at The Rundle Bar, and his enthusiasm was contagious. The food was excellent. We were so full we couldn’t finish all the desserts! The view was spectacular. It was a great experience.

    We were entertaining for afternoon tea. food, tea and presentation were fantastic. Views were awesome and a great setting. Service was terrible, saw the server twice during the service and one of them was to hurry us along after being there for only 50 minutes. We felt like a burden to the server when we asked for coffee. No water refills, no table maintenance - we had to set some dishes to a side table. When it came to pay the bill we had gift card. Server made it more difficult to pay using it than it needed to be but this was to ensure we tipped on the whole bill not just the remainder left after the gift card was used. Which we knew to do anyway. Kinda embarrassing to make a deal out of it at the table in front of our guest. No class or professionalism there. Must have been our accents that put them off serving us.

    We enjoyed a cocktail in the bar which is very comfortable. The service was great. We then went upstairs for afternoon tea. This was quite the treat! The view was spectacular and the service was excellent. It was a very comfortable, relaxing afternoon.

    From the moment we entered the Randle bar for high tea, we were treated with the best service ever. The room was full of light and various types of comfortable seating. The table was set beautifully and ready for us. The view of snow capped mountains was incredible. We spent the next hour plus being spoiled with champagne, tea, scones and clotted cream with fresh made strawberry jam, various sandwiches and truly beautiful various desserts. Loved it. Would highly recommend.

    An excellent afternoon tea in the iconic Fairmont Hotel. Being from the UK where afternoon tea is something of an obsession we were very happy with the Canadian version - although ‘scones first’ was different it worked well! Lovely view from the Rundle Bar over the Bow River and friendly service from our waitress.
