"Birks offers afternoon tea on weekdays after 2:30 for only $26.50/person so I decided to give it a try with my friend.\n\nTheir menu sounded fantastic and offered things such as \"Finger appetizer with smoked salmon and Abitibi Temiscamingue caviar\" but I felt as though they sounded better than they tasted. Despite that, the sandwiches were interesting to eat. Scones were a bit too heavy and my friend couldn't finish hers. Also, I thought that almost all of the desserts were overly too sweet - was difficult to eat the macaron and the desserts in a cup. We couldn't finish the desserts, and it wasn't because we were full.\n\nI know I shouldn't expect too much out of an afternoon tea experience for under $30. For the price, it was a fun time to unwind after all the walking - great service and beautiful decor. I say that it was the entire experience that made it worth it, rather than the food. I am happy that I came here!"^^ .
