My girlfriend and I went here for a double date on Valentine's Day for afternoon tea. We were definitely not disappointed. Being one of the few people on time for their reservation, we found ourselves bumped up from the courtyard into the restaurant. It was definitely much warmer and much better service inside, which is definitely a pleasant surprise. The king Edward is no doubt a very nice hotel, and has been for a long time. The conciege was also very polite in giving us directions when we first entered too.
We got the king tea set, which included, the scones and sandwiches. They have a decent size collection of teas that they offer from two different companies. Each has a box of it's own with samplers to smell the aroma of each possible flavour before ordering. This was very normal for an afternoon tea place, especially in such a prestigious hotel where it is expected. Unexpectedly though, was the price, it was definitely bang for buck. There's other afternoon places also charges easily $35-42 dollars, but this place has very competitive prices for what you get. I would have loved to let you know what exactly I got, but I was enjoying the dishes way too much.
Definitely come if you can afford it. The scones are wonderful, and the sandwiches were to be desired. If you like either, you can go for the smaller package and get the half you want!
