Afternoon Tea at the Westgate Hotel

Great location, lovely decor. Good food and service. Make reservations. Ample hotel parking.

I’ve been coming to the westgate for tea for years it’s unbeatable when it comes to the gourmet sandwiches the petite desserts, the atmosphere of the chandeliers and harp player the elegance is unmatched. I did get a marshmallow as a dessert but Sonnie brought me a macaron in replace <3 services is outstanding. The tea is loose not in a bag for anyone who is wondering.

Gréât atmosphère. Thé music is amazing and it is perfect for an event or birthday celebration. Very classy. Food is so fresh. It is a nice treat for friends or a small gathering.

I recommend this experience very highly! My friends and I came together and overall we had an amazing time. There are so many options of teas, and the food is delicious! The table settings were beautiful and there was a live harpist that was playing music. I’m already planning my next visit!

Definitely not worth the money. You only get to try one type of tea. You have to pay extra for the one glass of champagne which is really Brut. The dessert consisted of pistachio crème bruce which was inedible. The carrot cake was okay but tasted like pumpkin and the other two things they offered for dessert were disgusting. They give u some little sandwiches that were not memorable and a scones that were hard a rock. I honestly can’t believe that the whole experience cost me a 160 dollars for 2 people. We could have spent that much for steak and cocktails at a nice steak house. I wouldn’t go back and I wouldn’t recommend.

Lovely ambience. I’ll note that some commented on the the tea quality not being the greatest. It’s a great way to experience afternoon tea with friends or to introduce the experience to children. Worth doing at least once.

My friends and I totally enjoyed our tea experience here. The tea, food, service and ambience were more than what we expected. The price is reasonable. Our server was very attentive to our needs and didn’t feel rushed. We had a lovely time.

Everyone mentions the space in their review. The room and set up is lovely. But on non-tea days you can sit in that lovely room for free. The tea is below quality and does not meet standards for true tea drinkers. They have no single Origen teas or any that meet Pekoe quality. The food served also falls short. My advice would be to find a different tea room. The USS Grant is with a block and has a very fine tea service.

Beautiful place,
Beautiful service
Excellent ambience love the experience ?

Beautiful, small restaurant. It wasn't crowded when we went so it felt spacious and it was quiet. Food wasn't exceptional but it was good. Dessert is pretty untraditional. The tiramisu is a couple macarons, a chocolate roll and cream. Good, but not if your looking for traditional tiramisu. Same with the cheesecake.

I dont know if the service was bad due to Restaurant week, but it took 30 mins for our server to realize that we hadn't even had our first course yet. The main entrees were served cold. 2 dishes were returned. Other patrons complained as well as their dishes were forgotten for 1 hour.

We waited more than an hour for our entrees, noticing that several tables whose guests arrived after us had been served. We were repeatedly told that our food “would be right out.” No explanation was given. We arrived at 5:30 for our reservation and left shortly after 7:00. Because we had theater tickets, about which we told the waiter, we had to leave without eating. As we were getting up, we were told that our entrees were ready, but we would not have had time to eat. We were charged for the appetizer and drinks.
