   My third time attending Afternoon Tea and it’s literally the best tea time in Atlanta. I love how they always have a different theme. Highly recommend!

   Food was great, service was good, ambiance was perfect—just didn’t feel like it was worth the price compared to other tea experiences I’ve had.

   We had a lovely 4th birthday for our granddaughter, and it was amazing. The restaurant is lovely, the staff were attentive and knowledgeable and the high tea was excellent. We really enjoyed the live violinist and she helped make it a special experience.

   Expectations were high because it’s Waldorf Astoria, but it was a bit of a disappointment. We were there for high tea and it was $115. For that price point, everything needs to be on point and it just wasn’t. The food was okay. The items on the food tower were inconsistent. For example, there were cream puffs with a lemon filling but one of them didn’t have any filling. No cream in the cream puff! They offer, as part of the package, a glass of champagne or sparkling cider. We initially ordered the sparkling cider (not fans of champagne) but then saw that it was Martinelli’s sparkling cider, which is good cider, but at $16 a glass we could’ve bought 4 bottles of that at the store. Would not go back and would not recommend. Service was great though!

   What a delightful experience! From the minute we entered the hotel until we were seated for Afternoon Tea, the staff was courteous and attentive. Christmas decorations were outstanding, harpist's music beautiful, and seating at the garden window perfect. The sandwiches and dessert were delicious and filling. Tea selection could improve. I plan to return soon.

   The afternoon tea was delicious and the service was excellent. I think it was a bit pricey for tea but everything was well-executed. Also, because it was not a busy time of year (Jan. 4), we were able to sit in the garden room without paying extra. The Christmas decorations were still up and the harpist was a nice touch. The noise volume was not too loud. The staff were all polite and friendly, from the valet to the waitstaff. It was a very nice treat.

   NYE at The Waldorf Astoria Hotel Atlanta for the second year in a row was fantastic!!! The luxurious decorations & Veuve Champagne was delightful. This has been the perfect venue for me to celebrate a safe and fun way of bringing in the New Year.

    For $200 a person, I definitely expected more from this. The presentation of each dish was beautiful, there were just some flavor details that needed addressed. The potatoes pave was slightly undercooked which gave the potatoes a very sharp overpowering taste. The lobster bisque was wildly over salted. The warm soup was poured over a very cold crab disk which created a strange temperature. The duck course was fantastic! The pomegranates added a perfect contrast to the salt of the duck. I loved the acidity of the raspberry vinaigrette on the salad underneath. The main course was underwhelming and probably my least favorite course. The swordfish was overcooked and the Bordeaux jus has a sharp flavor as if burnt. The A5 Wagyu Ribeye was in no way A5. It was probably American wagyu which is fine, but I wish it had been advertised as such. The taste of the steak was all right. The dessert course was good! I loved the mushroom shaped meringue and the raspberry compote that accompanied the chocolate mousse. Overall, I’d give it a 6/10, but I’d have given it a 6/10 if it was a $90 per person prix fixe.
