    Of all the places in London I wish I would have made another choice. The scones were as hard as hockey pucks, the clotted cream was dry and not creamy. The tea choice by the waitress was fabulous. Sandwiches were dry and tasted as though they had been sitting around awhile. I wouldn’t go back

    All the staff we enciountered were courteous and friendly. We were celebrating a late Mothers' Day and chose the afternoon tea selection. There were three different menus to chose from. I had the ordinary menu and my daughter chose the vegetarian option. It was a dainty, well presented, tasting menu accompanied by many different options of tea ( from the teas menu). We emjoyed the varied selection of sanwiches and the beautifully presented sweet elements. It was a lovely location to meet up and chat. We followed this with a walk up to St Mary's Gardens. We are now planning our next visit.

    Not a tea room - food was ok. Felt like a hotel bar that has a tray of sandwiches... not an intentional tea.

    I had a great experience for afternoon tea at The May Fair Hotel. The service was attentive and there was good selection of sandwiches and sweets. The environment was relaxing and friendly. If there was anything I could recommend would be that I don’t think the sweets have to be so elaborate in flavour - sometimes they felt too flavourful (but this may be my personal taste).

    Hotel and OpenTable systems don't communicate. Arrived and no reservation recorded with venue. When showed confirmation that booking was made, they still couldn't honor as it wasn't in their system...and to an 1/2 empty restaurant. After 20mins of waiting, went to the bar and had a drink. Finally restaurant manager offered to "make an exception" and join the Tea room....Too Late. Needed to leave. Get your act together Open Table. Either don't offer the venue as a available or Hotel needs to improve their tech

    Its been a while since I had an afternoon tea in London, and thought the price was quite a lot, but it was a beautiful spread of food and service was excellent.
