   We loved the place, the only one change I would make is incorporate a larger variety of savory items as opposed to sweet.

   Definitely a recommended high tea experience. We typically stay at the Fairmont Olympic when visiting Seattle. This was our first time trying the tea experience. Ambiance is very high end, intimate, and classy. We love the vintage vibe. Tea and food offerings were excellent. Our server David makes the whole experience well worth it. It’s great to see service so passionate about what they do. We were seated in a perfect place more secluded from the main area in the library area which we adored. We will definitely come back again:

   I coordinated an Afternoon Tea at Fairmont Olympic as a belated gift for my mother-in-law and we both LOVED everything about it: the food, the service, the tea selection, and most of all, the ambiance (we requested seating in the library area). We leisurely sipped our tea while we chatted and read and it was exactly the kind of serene environment we both needed. David provided excellent service as usual - he's delightful!

   We usually reserve tea service at the Fairmont before the opera and this time, the event fell on Mother's Day. Tea service was a little bit more crowded, but there were extra servers. Emma, David, and others are always exemplary and one of the many reasons we return to the Fairmont.

   Average tea experience. Savories were yummy. Service OK, tea warm - not hot. Valet disorganized.

   The tea and food was really nice, however, the service was incredibly slow. Our tea pots ran out of water multiple times and food took a long time to come out.

   Having lived here for 10 years, we've heard good things about the Fairmont Olympic's Afternoon Tea, so I decided to book it for a Saturday afternoon to celebrate my husband's new job. While he and my nephew can eat anything, I can't eat gluten, and the hotel did a great job with their gluten free options! We all were blown away by the tea choices and we each loved our teas. I got the Orange Pekoe, and it was a lovely, deep-bodied tea. The treat towers held an impressive selection that managed to fill up my teen nephew! My husband is usually a 'one and done' kind of person when it comes to attractions and restaurants, but by the end of the meal, he was wondering when we would come back. I can't leave without mentioning the lovely atmosphere and wonderful service. I wish I could remember her name, but our server was delightful and took good care of us. Highly recommend.

    What an incredible way to celebrate an anniversary at a stunning historic hotel! Our server, Cassie, and the rest of the amazing staff made the experience truly unforgettable. Their exceptional service added a touch of magic to our special day!
