The Georgian Coupons

My whole family (ages 6 months to 65 yrs) had a lovely time at afternoon tea here. Fancy table setting, delicious finger sandwiches and desserts, amazing Bella Cooley tea. Service was fabulous. Everyone was very polite and attentive. It's an expensive outing, but was worth it. They even have a kids menu. And a champagne option.

We went to holiday tea here and it was amazing. The food was delicious and the staff was kind and helpful. Our waiter asked us if we had any allergies, and I told him I was lactose intolerant, he gave me an entire dairy/lactose free plate! The building was absolutely gorgeous and it reminded me of being in an old mansion. Since it was the holidays there was a giant Christmas tree and gingerbread village. Will definitely come back next year.

I can't even begin to express how much 8 enjoyed coming here for afternoon tea. Staff was fantastic, food was amazing and the ambience was breath taking. Also if your gluten free, this afternoon tea will not disappoint like so many other places do. This far exceeds my experience at the Fairmont in Vancouver BC. I definitely plan on returning and bringing friends.

Outstanding experience of ambiance and food. Sitting with in an atmosphere of elegance makes you feel special. The food courses each exquisit and the attention to the details were second to none. The folks who served the meal provided elegance and class and the highest regard in providing outstanding service. It's worth every penny. Start saving them now.

My husband and I went for the afternoon tea and it was marvelous. We left full and happy. Beautiful setting, food was delicious. The desserts were especially tasty ????

Afternoon tea is good but not at pairity with other top east coast tea services. Good but very limited selection of teas. The place is beautiful and definetely worth visiting.

I organized an afternoon tea with some friends. The teas were good and there was a large selection. The food was also good and plenty for a meal. If you've never done an afternoon tea before, this is a good one to try out. There's an option to add champagne to your tea service as well for additional cost. It was $55 per person for the tea service, $85pp for champagne added. Atmosphere is great. I would have given the Afternoon Tea here 5 stars except for the way our server treated us at the end of the tea service. He berated us for not understanding that they don't take multiple cards for parties of 6 or larger and didn't even bother bringing the checks back to us after we paid (he had someone else do it). They accommodated us anyway, but it left a bad taste in our mouth considering he received an automatic 20% gratuity regardless. For an establishment that prides itself on service, this was not the way he should have acted.

The only quite high tea place in downtown Seattle, which makes it hard to rate it. It feels like you either go or out off option.Pros:- Quite, fairly good service.- Teas are really tasty.- Sandwich are delicious.Cons:- Real dessert are not well made, they looks all right but taste is jsut so so. Especially Macaroon, for anyone who tried other French macaroon before, can easily tell this one is really not good at all.- Close early around 230pm, they will not kick you out(Servers told us to stay as long as we want ), but still, feels like i should leave sometime soon.

I was taken here yesterday for my 32nd birthday. I've been to several tea services, including the Fairmont Empress in BC, and was really looking forward to getting to experience the holiday tea here in Seattle. I would never suggest anyone do this. Despite wanting to eat here so badly, they ruined my birthday.The staff (Jorge, Anna, and Mackenzie) were all very good and professional (+1 star). They took our complaints in easy stride and did what they could to rectify the situation. Our party of 6 had two vegetarians and one person with a nut allergy, which they easily accommodated (+1 star).The down sides however, far outweigh the good here. The decor of the place was the same as during the summer, nothing to indicate this is a -holiday tea-. No wreaths, trees or anything beyond a small fondant sculpture at the front. The rest of the hotel is overflowing with decorations, but that seems to have stopped at the door to the Georgian. With the architecture and space of the place there was certainly room to do a lot more here (such as anything at all!). Images on their website include a red reindeer napkin holder, and a sprig of holly with berries. I don't know where those were from, but not at the Georgian.The tea. I want to first say that I know a lot about tea. I go out for tea on a regular basis and there are at least three pots of tea brewed in my home a day. Our party got several types of tea, and they all had a common problem. In our two-cup pots of tea there was about 1/4-1/2 cup of tea leaves. You should never use so much tea. It's wasteful, and makes the tea taste horrid. Tea takes 1 teaspoon for every cup of tea, this isn't coffee. Additionally, there were no tea strainers in the pot to remove the tea once it has reached a perfect steeping. Instead they use a strainer set onto your cup to pour the tea through. I had to send my Earl Grey back to be replaced because it had been both burned and over-steeped to the point that the bitterness made it entirely unpala

$50 after tip and tax for an afternoon tea with terrible service and uninspiring tea and food.The place is inside the Fairmont hotel. There were only a few tea options on the menu. I got the Earl Grey and it wasn't as flavorful as I had hoped. At least it wasn't bitter as other reviews have noted. We went around noon so the place was only a 1/4 full. There were at least 4 waitstaff and a few other service personnels. However, we barely receive any service. Near the end, I wanted to get the staff to clean up the dishes so we could take some picture but had to wait more than 10 minutes craning my neck at every direction trying to get someone's attention.The afternoon tea came with 2 cherry scones, 3 savory sandwiches bites and 4 desserts. Overall, everything was too sweet. At the very least, they could have 2 different varieties of scone, a savory cheese and herb for example, to balance it out.
