   It was the perfect afternoon. An Afternoon Tea for one my at preferred seat by the window. The Christmas blend tea was delightful and the savory treats were my absolute favs, especially the quiche. The vestibule was simply decorated with a beautiful tree and accompanying nutcrackers to go along with this year's tea theme. A classy experience, as always. Thank you to the amazing staff for your attentiveness.

   Everything was done well, especially the presentation and service. We enjoyed the tea experience and will go back even it’s a bit pricey.

   While the ambiance it’s beautiful and the perfect setting for a Christmas tea, the service was nonexistent. For the venue, price, and previous experiences at other St. Regis properties, I expected first class service. Not only did our server rush us through the tea experience, she also rarely checked back. We had to request water refills, clean plates for the dessert course, and refilled our own tea each time. She also brought out the savory plates and sweet tier at the same time. While the food was very good and the desserts were very cutely themed, for the price point there could have been well…more. Or at least first class service.

   I’ve been coming for the Christmas tea for years. The tea was basic. Our service was good. The cost is absolutely insane. With tip for 2 people and 1 glass of champagne it was $420!! For what? 4 pastries and 4 teeny sandwiches on white bread? Now we are told they don’t give a White House ornament. Seriously? You cut back on a $30 ornament? I will not come back. It was painful to sign the bill given what we got. Too many options to do this again.

   High Tea during the Holidays at The St. Regis is an absolute delight. Our server, Gabby, was incredibly gracious and provided exceptional service. We had a fantastic time, and this event truly put us in the holiday spirit. However, I did notice that this year, they’ve discontinued the tradition of gifting the White House ornament, which was a special touch when we visited last year.

   Was a nice atmosphere but really expensive for little food and just some tea. They should give a discount for kids and the price doesn't include champagne and you can only get one kind of tea. Would prefer to go somewhere where its not that expensive.

   Beautiful holiday selection of sandwiches and treats. Their special blended Holiday Tea was very tasty! They did an amazing job with a gluten-free selection for my sister. She was so thrilled! (Busy lobby setting is slightly awkward, but nicely holiday decorated and grand.)

    Been coming to the Holiday Tea at the St. Regis for years, this year they raised the price and removed the annual White House Christmas Tree ornament gift. Due to the changes it will be our last year attending, it simply is not worth the over $120 per person price for a Christmas themed menu which doesn’t give anything extra outside of the regular tea offering that costs less.
