We had the Japanese Afternoon tea for two in The Atrium. Lovely afternoon.
Ambiance Very relaxing. Live piano music played until late afternoon. Open and airy.
Food A delicious plate of treats a traditional afternoon tea with a Japanese twist. Every was presented very well though if I’m very critical it looked like it had been set for a while ready to bring out. Sandwich section was lovely. Favourite was the hummus and the brown bread from the egg mayo. Least fav the chicken waffle. Scones and pastries next. Fav. Cherry scone. There was suppose to be a 5 spice flavour to some of this tier but I struggled to get it. Top tier all the sweet treats. Very sweet and luscious, winner here was the cherry and chocolate torte. Very rich. At this stage though I opted for coffee to balance the sweetness.
Teas I tried a number of teas. The Darjeeling Tea. Tasty but didn’t have the usual sweetness to it. The Japanese cherry. Very delicate and you could taste the cherry. Peach and ginseng, refreshing and not over powering.
Price Expensive for the serving. €59 per person.
Service Very friendly and attentive service from the staff. Seated quickly. Slow to take the initial order but once that happened it was very good.
Venue Lovely venue a smidgen tired eg our menu had pen marks on the back of the leather folder, the wall by the table was marked. Table cloths a little off white Lovely table setting. Beautiful delph, silver cutlery. Lovely selection of glasses for drinks. Staff have a lovely uniform.
Summary If you’re a fan of afternoon teas then this is worth adding to your list, especially their...
Read moreWe came for afternoon tea with my mother and mentioned that we were celebrating a graduation, but nothing special was done for the occasion. The food and tea were beautifully presented, with careful attention to our dietary needs—gluten-free, garlic-free, and no pork. Our reservation was at 4 PM, and their website stated that afternoon tea continues until 5:30 PM. When we arrived, there was live piano music, but it ended around 4:15. When we asked why it wasn’t continuing, we were told it had started at 3 PM and had already ended. If this had been mentioned on the website, we would have scheduled our reservation accordingly. If tea service continues until 5:30, we believe the piano music should as well. After 15 minutes of piano, all we heard was bar noise and crying babies. This experience did not match the standards expected from a hotel of this level, especially at this...
Read moreWe were waiting for our room to get ready and walked around the hotel. Was attracted by 2nd floor beautiful Atrium Lounge. Even though it's fully booked, Atrium Lounge offer to give us a table before 1 PM the original reservation came. Super nice. We had 2 mimosa and enjoy the music the vibe & the hospitality. The day we went they have Mother's day high tea, we love how Irish people started drinking at noon ( or even earlier), & the server never need to ask if the mom drinks alcohol just pull the complimentary champagne for all the mothers. We had a wonderful time in Atrium, thanks for give us a table while we were jetlagged and need a table to sit...
