   Staff couldn’t do enough to help. Dressed professionally and impeccable service. Friendly from the moment we arrived and not rushed at any stage. Offers plenty of replenishment of food and tea / coffee. Excellent experience

   The whole experience was exemplary. The food, ambience, pace, and service were all fantastic. Guests should take advantage of trying a few different teas.

   Started bringing people in exactly on time. We had a fantastically attentive and pleasant server at our table by the window. There was a bit of a chilly draft but it wasn't as noticeable as the room heated up from the people. We tried several teas and coffees to see if we could find a new favourite. The afternoon tea came out on the usual tiered stand. The scones were divine, warm and airy. The sandwiches were ok, standard fare, nothing too fancy or different. The chicken and smoked salmon were favourites, the egg mayonnaise was a little bland and I cannot comment on the feta, as it is not a cheese I like. The lower tier of desserts were quite nice, a salted caramel éclair and a lemon macaroon type one. The top tier desserts were a mixed bag, the banoffee in a chocolate pot was adventurous in design and tasted decent. The pistachio and raspberry cake was a dloppy disaster, just tasting like marzipan...not one person at the table liked it. Sandwiches and scones could be refilled on request. I had thought perhaps there would be some kind of nod to Easter, it being Easter Saturday but it was the usual classic tea. We enjoyed our outing, commend the service, but could be a little more 5 star in favour of food.

   I had to ask three times for a glass of iced water with lemon. The first time she came back with plain water, the second time she came back with lemon and the third time she came back with ice. They are not listening…very ignoring. Then she came back four times to tell us we have an hour and 45 mins limit. We heard her the first time and she managed to tell us three more times. Again…very disappointing. Will not do it again. This is not worth the 75 euro per person.

   We had a really lovely tea. Delicious treats and very friendly service. The team dealt with last minute requests very professionally and with understanding. We were very happy with our experience. Thank you.

   We were in town for the weekend and were looking for a special experience - and High Tea delivered that! The service was friendly and impeccable. Our 9 year old will remember the desserts for years to come. Thank you!

    My niece and nephew had never been in the Shelbourne Hotel and our experience surpassed expectations-the restaurant gave my gluten intolerant niece her own afternoon tea -which was the best bread she had for years ! My nephew absolutely loved the tea and Karen brought him a special birthday treat when we told her his birthday was coming up ! It was a really special afternoon and thank you so much to Karen and the team in the Shelbourne Hotel for great memories!! Fiona
