I've tried high tea across the city and this is by far the best! The ambiance is perfect, the service is good (not too stuffy). Our entire experience was lovely. More importantly, the warm scones and Devon cream were excellent (better than Four Seasons and Royal York) & the selection of teas were wonderful.
I took my mom here as we heard it was the best place in Toronto and it certainly deserves its reputation. I suspect that we had a better than average experience because it wasn't too busy in the tea room, only half the tables were occupied) so it made for prompt service and ample room to manoeuver.
A perfect way to spend a rainy summer afternoon in the city!
