This was disappointment wrapped in a pretty bow. We arrived and the tea rooms were cute and decorated as you would expect for a High Tea experience. We sat and waited about 20min until our server came over. We ordered our tea and told food was coming. There tea arrived and it was very nice. Food arrived and looked beautiful, but that is when all the good ended. They didn’t bring any butter or jams with the food. We asked 3 servers to bring it over and took over 30 min. The scones were ok at best but the sandwiches were inedible. The bread tasted as stale as one could get it and yet they were all soggy at the same time. The “Cornish hen” tasted like canned chicken from the dollar store that went rancid. Another cucumber sandwich was so soggy on the stale bread it turned to mush when picked up. The mini cupcake that was likely also bought from a dollar store was so stale that it crunched when I bit into it. All the food tasted like they were left overs from a funeral. We barely ate any of it. No server ever checked on us. Eventually we asked a server for our bill after waiting 45 mins for someone to attend to us. No it wasn’t busy or lack of servers. Just terrible service and food was legit inedible. I have been to many high teas in my day and this was a joke. Save your money!

Our first Afternoon Tea at the Arms. Decor and presentation were lovely but was a bit too much food for the price $130 per person and we could only eat 1/2 of it. Would suggest less food at a lower price point - also only 1 type of tea selection in a very large pot for each person. Smaller pots would keep the tea warm longer and perhaps allow for guests to try more than 1 flavour at a sitting.

The quality of the food was pretty bad. Did not expect that for a yorkville high end restaurant. Very disappointing.

The Tearoom at The Windsor Arms never disappoints! My sisters and I spent a lovely afternoon there sipping delicious tea, eating wonderful scones and sandwiches in a beautiful ambience. The service, as always, was impeccable!

If you’re looking for the ultimate afternoon tea experience in Toronto, Windsor Arms' Pink Afternoon Tea is the place to go—especially with your best friends. From the moment you step in, you’re greeted with an elegant, intimate atmosphere that feels straight out of a storybook. The space is absolutely beautiful, with soft pink hues and luxe decor that set the perfect mood for a special treat-yourself moment. Now, let’s talk about the spread—impeccable. The scones? Buttery, warm, and just the right balance of flaky and soft. The mini sandwiches were delicate yet flavorful, and the desserts? Absolute perfection. Every bite felt indulgent, and you could tell the quality of ingredients was top-tier. And, of course, the tea itself was insanely good—fragrant, rich, and perfectly brewed. On top of everything, the service was impeccable. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and truly made the experience feel special. Whether you're celebrating a milestone, catching up with friends, or just want to enjoy a luxurious afternoon, Windsor Arms' Pink Afternoon Tea is a must. ✨💖☕
