We went here to celebrate our wedding anniversary and it was a lovely and special experience. The lobby is tastefully furnished and the sound of live music makes it more romantic and relaxing. We selected a vegetarian afternoon tea menu and it was delicious. We especially liked the artichoke sandwic
This is an experiential high note for the area. Food is excellent, the service even more so. The atmosphere and history add a lot in my opinion. Come prepared to savor, sit, and relax.

The best high tea! We made online reservations and were seated on time. Their website has the dress code, no flip flops, etc. We saw many pretty tea dresses but also a lot of what I'd call smart casual. The scones with jam and clotted cream are amazing. We noticed that they provided what looked like
We did the high tea experience and our waiter was so lovely and gave us outstanding service! The service and atmosphere was very “English” which was so peaceful with their live pianist. You pay for what you get, which is pretty high end service and a show of food! Because we had a vegan platter, the
This is a meal within a whole experience. We were able to get in without a reservation right after getting off the Clipper ferry. What a great way to start our visit to Victoria! Every bite of food is bursting with flavor and the tea was amazing. I loved how the tea menu shows what each looks like.
