Afternoon Tea At The Fairmont Palliser

Not what we expected for a Fairmont restaurant. It was very poor for a boxing day brunch

Don't go here until they finished the reconstruction. Period. Slow service, tables are in the hallway, decent food.

There was no ambiance at all which took away from the dining experience. The food was good except for the “in-house made” cheesecake which tasted like it had been sitting around for a while. A little disappointing overall.

Good temporary solution while the formal restaurant upstairs is renovated.

We came here for my fiance’s birthday and ended up leaving. The OpenTable website didn’t indicate that the original space is under renovation, so the restaurant has been relocated to a hallway. The menu on OpenTable was also completely different from the one they gave us; we came expecting an upscale meal and the menu we were given was more of a pub menu. The server and manager were very apologetic and comped my wine. I don’t think that it was their fault and I felt bad they were in that position. They offered to make some items from the original menu for us, but the kitchen wasn’t able to anyways. I’m sure the food on the new menu is great, but we were expecting something completely different for a special occasion. It was just disappointing that the OpenTable website wasn’t accurate.
