   The afternoon tea experience with my friend was nice. Its a lovely setting, very helpful staff, nice ambience, sandwiches, scones and desserts were nice but it was let down by the how slow it took a fresh pot of tea / coffee to come out. We waited quite awhile for tea / coffee to arrive, we reminded staff twice and were told it was taking longer due to them being short staffed. A pity as its not what we expected for a 5 star establishment.

   Beautiful setting but service not great and pianist played a little loud and sombre for the area. Food was OK but sandwiches not very inspiring...cucumber, salmon and cajun chicken. Could have been presented better than on a plate. Not sure why they were served separate from the desserts. We had to continually ask for refill and water from the staff. No baby changing facilities on this floor. Would not book again for the price.

   Very familiar with the Hotel over many years. This time however was very unhappy. Left waiting ages for our table even though it was reserved. Piano music far to loud. Overall quality of food very bad, no wow factor anymore. We were served sandwiches on their own at the start with no tea...... and had to ask for it. Great shame as we've always enjoyed Afternoon tea in the Powerscourt hotel.

   A wonderful mother's day treat with my six year old daughter. The kid's afternoon tea is a lovely touch

   When we went in it was quiet and we got a lovely table by the window, we were given our menus and left to make our choices, we then gave our order and our food came out however it took nearly 45 minutes before we got our tea which meant we were nearly finished our sandwiches (the bread was stale) and the service did not improve at all. It is a bit over priced and where other places will offer you more there was no offer made at all. Overall this was a very disappointing experience that I would not recommend and the best thing about it was the view out the window.

   The food was lovely,the atmosphere was relaxed. We were not rushed or stuck to a time limit which has happened at other similarly priced places. Staff were attentive and polite without being overbearing.

   The food quality was slightly disappointing as not as good as expected for the price. Service was generally slow and we were waiting for at least 30 mins before being served any food. Cocktails were also underwhelming for the price.

    There was building works going on in the same lounge so the drilling was quite loud. We arrived at 1:45 and were told the builders were going to take a break T 2pm but that didn’t happen till nearly half two. When our afternoon tea arrived, we found a hair in the sandwiches so they replaced them. The sandwiches in general were quite poor. The bread was stale on all, very dry. The scones were fresh and warm. And the cakes were nice also. Service was ok. Slow to get our teas refreshed. To be fair I would have expected a lot more from the hotel as in expectations

    Definitely a must afternoon tea, the experience is amazing and such lovely views. They also brought out a happy birthday plate for my mother, very attentive staff. Beautiful piano player also that isn’t loud just the perfect noise level. So cosy.

    Fantastic venue, beautiful surroundings. Brings you back in history. Excellent service, fast and attentive. Wonderful that you get to try as many teas as you like. Pastries and scones were fantastic. Sandwiches somewhat bland and a bit dry. Other than that a really nice experience. We will be back.

    The setting is spectacular, the food was nice but the service let us down ( as on previous occasions). Extremely young , inexperienced staff who seemed totally overwhelmed with a full service. We waited 45 mins for our afternoon tea as they must have forgotten the order , a few times they tried to bring us teas or drinks that were for a different table - utter chaos. Would still go back just for the setting.

    Was nice for something different and the hotel was decorated beautifully for Christmas. However I felt the afternoon tea was overpriced for what you got which is mainly sweet things and very little savoury.I have been to afternoon teas elsewhere for cheaper and with more variety...

    I've had a chance to been to other afternoon teas in other Hotels, and the staff goes beyond their role. Another thing noticed, in previous afternoon teas in other hotels, the staff drops a few more scones into the little box to bring home, which is a lovely touch.

    Afternoon tea here is a lovely treat. The Christmas ambience is lovely (the snow outside certainly helped). The staff are very friendly and professional. There is plenty of lovely treats in the afternoon tea-you certainly won’t need dinner. It was all lovely. Thankyou!

    Very disappointed with our annual festive afternoon tea today at powerscourt hotel. Unfortunately I’m a coeliac and had requested a gluten free menu on booking, at the telephone confirmation and at arrival at hotel. I was then told to tell the server and the rest of the table were asked if they were normal or also required special menu. Food arrived and I had to request an individual plate of butter, cream etc to avoid cross contamination. One of our table then found a small spider in her sandwiches and the plate was removed and we were told manager would come to talk to us. This did not happen. Paying the bill I was disappointed to see that there had been no reduction for the issue with the spider and when I said all was ok apart from the spider, the server said she was sorry. However, no manager came to our table following the complaint. Very disappointed with our experience today

    Having tried a few afternoon teas in the city, came with a group of friends to try the afternoon tea in a more tranquil setting. The best part is the ambience and the place overlooking Wicklow mountains, stunning setting. The rest of it we have found a little disappointing, starting with the food where sandwiches were a little underwhelming, scones were good and sweet treats were ok not great. Service apart from a lovely waiter Iryna was not great, had to ask for water a few times, nobody has offered more sandwiches at any point to us, teas were not poured for us, teas and coffees were arriving with a delay as well. It definitely was not the attention we were expecting
