We had the three-course prix fixe with a couple of appetizers to supplement, and came away sated and happy. The quality of the fish was outstanding and the waitstaff were jovial and attentive. We were not rushed and the coursing was well paced. Definitely recommended.

Always love going to Queen Mary. The ambience is carefully curated, charming clutter (changes with the season), the food is very good and the selection and quality of teas is outstanding. You can purchase them all at the emporium across the street! It’s fun to dress up and drink tea out of pretty cups on white linens. The High tea service is very pretty. Perfect for a special occasion. (Or just a nice lunch)
