Well I guess I'll start the reviews... our most recent misadventure was to Millcroft Inn for Afternoon tea at 2pm for $20. The grounds are very cute and the waterfall looks really quaint... it has the feel of a country inn. A couple of the girls went early for spa treatments and had rave reviews of the service they received... unfortunately for the rest of us who just went up for tea, we were not so lucky.
Tea started off on the wrong foot since the reservation was for 7 and we only had 6... the host looked really peeved at us. The waiter looked really young and didn't know the details of the menu when we asked about an acronyms about the tea that was listed. Service was on the whole was very slow... it was a good thing we ladies like to talk since we had to wait for our tea, refill of hot water and extra orders of ice cream.
Now let's talk about the food: scones- hard and too sweet- covered in sugar. Sandwiches- bread was crusty and not freshly made (the host said that everything was pre-made), there was no smoked salmon that day so we had egg, tomato and cucumber, ham sandwiches... not really a 4 diamond rating restaurant. VERY disappointed about them not having salmon. Pastries- cream puffs with cherries was okay, brownies was too rich (I could feel a toothache coming on) and dense and last was blueberry crumble cake was the best part of the meal. The portions of the dessert was huge for afternoon tea standards, just too bad they didn't taste so good.
I would rate this tea spot a 6/10.
