Overall it was a fine. This experience is for the ambience. The venue was beautiful and the service is attentive. The harpist played beautifully and was perfect for the space. The Living room where the tea was served had a lot of light and is very instagram friendly. However, for the price point, the food was extremely lackluster. The desserts were too sweet, the sandwiches were over seasoned, and the scones were not crumbly enough. For $175 (which includes the traditional tea, tax, and tip) a cake pop should not be one of the items on the serivce tray. I’ve had better teas at $60. It felt like the food was mass produced, and or brought in from somewhere else and was not made in house. Again, if you have $175 to burn and want to get a great visual experience this is for you.

Service was excellent but food was disappointing for price point. Scones and sandwiches were high quality but cakes (special for pride month) were garish and not particularly tasty. With 20% tip added for $175 per person, far inferior to afternoon teas I've experienced in London.

I wasn’t expecting to write a bad review for the Living room as I’d heard so many great things but it’s was a pretty mediocre experience and certainly not worth the money. The food was not fresh. Obviously prepped in advance and delivered to the table a while later, the sandwiches were stale, scones were dry. The service was great, so friendly and timely. The ambience would have been great but for a large table in the centre of the room who were so loud they took over the whole vibe of the room leading to a very loud, vary un-afternoon tea experience. All in all it was a very expensive afternoon tea that wasn’t worth the money. Go to the The Belvedere instead. Much better.

These people know what's up. Pure excellence from the moment you roll on in. The Afternoon Tea was incredible from Patricia greeting us with the warmest smile to Eduardo & the other lovely 'Teaboys' (as I called them. In my head :-) ) looking after your table with a cool precision, friendliness & skill. Harp music was magical & the room itself is beautiful. A true oasis, made even better by the fabulous staff. Tea sandwiches, cakes & scones - from heaven! Unique, delicious & deceptively filling. Don't let the delicate look & size fool you! Tea itself was amazing, hot & severed consistently. My cup was always full. Champers, of course, totally yum. Drinking stars in the city of stars - Fantastic. Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Yes, yes. Will I be going back? Yes, yes, YES! The young lady at the next table gave it "Infinity stars!.." I concur!

The Living Room at The Peninsula hotel is the most lovely setting for tea with a harpist playing beautiful music. The service is exceptionally gracious and professional. The scones are also warm and absolutely delicious. However, the tea sandwiches and sweets are really below standard . The bread on all of the sandwiches was dry and had obviously been sitting out and not freshly made. The fillings were bland and tasteless. The chicken salad was inedible. The sweets were average and also lacked flavor. The chef needs to address these issues at the high price point. The lovely setting and outstanding service deserve better!
