We had famous high tea vis Groupon deal. It was very good deal. The staff was so polite and offered taking picture for us. I like this hotel high tea is you can have different type of tea, not only one. The scone and sandwiches were so soft and moist! There are important for high tea. We want to come back again.

High : impeccable service
Low : draughty seating
Dog friendly : no!

I had another special occasion that needed a lovely setting plus I was on a mission to top that underwhelming high tea at Sofitel. Ok, I know I’m never going to surpass the well rehearsed long standing British high tea experiences but I am going to try ; )

So Take 2 – Stamford Plaza. I had my doubts, remembering it from its stylishly elegant glory days 30 years ago when it was the hippest hotel in town – the Regent. I was treated to a work morning tea there when it first opened and believe me, back then, when the only café in town was Robert Harris and soy decaf latte’s weren’t even invented, it was quite the treat : )

I was pleasantly surprised, the décor was warm and inviting despite the storm brewing outside and being seated at a draughty table. 

The service was impeccable – our trainee waiter could not do enough for us and was incredibly polite and treated us like royalty.

The treats were meticulously presented – coloured dust, gold leaf, pottles and flower petals – all added to the impact. The savouries were quite tasty and the scones were light including a chocolate one. I was actually too full with tea refills that I could not finish all the cakes. I did get a doggie bag but felt bad when a homeless person parked right outside was begging. I just hope he enjoyed the treats as much as I did.

I did think about hunkering down in one of their comfy looking lounge chairs and waiting out the storm ; )

So a definite step in the right direction. 👍🏽

Had our first 'High Tea' experience here and it was amazing. I had purchased the deal of groupon for high tea for two. From the staff to food it was all on point. Would give it four stars because I think some of the food was quiet plain (still very delicious though). However the staff were amazing and really made the experience that much better. So the 5th star is solely because of their amazing staff

5 stars for service but 3 star of the taste and portion of the food. Happy hour house drink $8 from 5 to 7pm buy from the lobby bar just next to the restaurant. Would go back on first table for the ambience and great service. Choc fondont with grill banana(quite unique) , grill salmon steak (okay taste) with bone in, grill lamb rump(bit tasteless) , grill scallop small size(love this) , vege tempura (very crispy) and sashimi platter.

Enjoyed the buffet breakfast here. Nice array of breakfast foods that cater for different diets. The chefs on hand were also able to provide eggs how customers wanted them. The wait staff ensured the food was always topped up by advising chefs what items needed topping up. They also were attentive in clearing dishes etc. Not much to fault at all. Reasonable pricing for buffet breakfast in town. Would definitely recommend & return again.

Came here for a high tea with my mum and sister and it was seriously good. I haven’t had high tea anywhere else yet so I can’t compare it other favourites. My favourite was the salmon, cucumber and cream cheese sandwiches. Also, the scones were nice too.

I must say I haven’t tried any of other menu items apart from the breakfast buffet BUT it’s hands down one of the best I tried... good variety but missing waffles and that non pork sausage alternative... with fresh fruits, juices, golden crispy hash browns, delectable scrambled eggs, scrumptious omelettes, a selection of incredible pastries, pancakes and other things... it’s very filling and satisfying

I've try the Royal Mother's Day Hightea.
The service is great but the food is average.
The food presentation has a big difference from the photo on their website.
It's better to spend the money on something else lol.

I have been twice with my friend as I bought a vouchers for a high tea, great service and beautiful place. First time was great from food to the service and the table was setted beautifully only the fried mussels wasn't good. Second time was today but we had a special dietary menu, it was ok but not much varieties comparing to the normal menu, finger sandwiches were same flavor, scones were dense and only jam no other spread, dessert it was ok only thing we didn't like is the creamy chia!. They are really good in their normal high tea menu but they need to improve their the vegetarian and speacial dieatery menu. Definitely coming back again.

We have the dinner on weekday. Booked the first table at 6pm. The staff was so welcoming and friendly. The market fish and Lamb were both excellent, yummy and lovely presented.

I have been twice to their High Tea, the place is nice, the table was setted beautifully, staff were nice too but it comes to their special dietary selection, they need to work more on it and make more options to present and make sure the flavor is good too. We had all the finger sandwiches were taste same, scones were dense same flavour and no spread to put on only jam. Dessert was ok but we didn't like the one in the glass jar and I think it was a creamy chia. Their normal high tea menu which I had for first visit was amazing, many voraites and all taste amazing only the fried mussels I didn't really like it. Will come back again.

Missed out on a 5 only because of the price!! No faulting food at all the epitome of fine dining. Mains perfection! Flavours I could not imagine putting together myself, mouth watering each mouth full a melt in your mouth explosion of perfectly paired flavours could eat 3 mains though portion size so small 😭 Loved the desserts!!! All very rich, delicious and most importantly diffrent from all the other buffet dessert bars I've been to previously. Mains took 45 mins - hour .. but I guess you can't rush perfection.. worth the wait 😇.

I often go here for business meetings - it has a nice quiet atmosphere and the service is always impeccable. I celebrated a birthday here recently with a high tea which was absolutely superb - I definitely recommend trying it out!
