I came here for high tea with my family and it wasn't as good as it used to be. They had quiche and veggie puff pastry which was cold. I thought it would be hot when they served it. read more

I treated my mom to High Tea at The Drawing Room at the Prince of Wales Hotel the Saturday after Christmas and it was truly a magical experience for the elegance of the Prince of Wales Hotel and deliciousness at The Drawing Room. It was such a special experience from start to finish! I ordered the Traditional Afternoon Tea, which included a beautiful assortment of finger sandwiches (two of each), including egg salad and chives on a flaky croissant, along with a chef's selection of tea sandwiches that are always prepared daily on imported French bread. My favorite was the one with the salmon. We were also served an assortment of pastries created by Pastry Chef Kim, all of which were as lovely to look at as they were to eat, plus their signature house-made scones with jasmine tea-infused sultana raisins, served with strawberry jam, creme fraiche, and butter. And yes, you know me, I ordered coffee instead of tea. No regrets! Meanwhile, my mom chose the His Royal Highness Tea, which came with a generous charcuterie and artisanal cheese board, a pot of tea, and one ounce of Bowmore 12-year-old Islay Scotch. She surprised me by choosing the scotch over the sparkling wine option but shared she had a bit of a cold and thought it might help which made me laugh! Everything was beautifully presented, so, so delicious, and the service was impeccable! The whole experience was wonderfully indulgent and a perfect way to spend time together after the holidays. A true five-star afternoon that I can't wait to enjoy again someday!! I'd also love to spend more time in the Prince of Wales hotel... maybe next time :) read more

A lovely Victoria setting for Afternoon Tea at the Prince of Wales Hotel in Niagara - on -the - Lake, CA. I have visited on three occasions, and sampled three different types of Afternoon Teas. The first time I had a Traditional Tea with selected teas, scones, mini-sandwiches, and desserts. The second visit was a Royal Tea with a glass of Champagne. The last one was an evening tea, the Candlelight Highland Tea with Rob Roy included. Absolutedly delicious, all three of them. Each was special in their own way, Service is impeccable. The ambiance is romantic, invoking a bygone era. read more

My mom and I were traveling to Niagara Falls for a bucket list trip, but decided to stay at the Prince of Wales hotel. Her very favorite thing is afternoon tea and we were THRILLED to see that there was a tea right in our hotel. While expensive at $65 CAD, we decided to have tea here for the convenience. We were not disappointed. We were able to choose from the standard tea ($55 CAD) or add a cheese plate for an additional $10 CAD, which we decided to spurge on. The cheeses were delectable and we were thrilled we did. With this package, you can order any of the premium Sloan teas that are on the menu. Each person gets their own eclectic pot. You also get a 2 or 3 tiered food tray that includes sandwiches (smoked salmon sandwiches, cucumber sandwiches, egg salad on a croissant, signature scones made with plump, jasmine tea infused sultana raisins. Accompanied by strawberry jam, crème fraîche with lemon/candied ginger & butter. You also get assorted pastries - tart with hummus, tart with caramel and creme frosting topped with a raspberry, macroons, ginger cookies and the most delicious cupcakes with butter cream frosting. This was our lunch and we split everything and took 2 boxes home which we ate for breakfasts the next 2 days. I would highly recommend this to anyone traveling to the NOTL region as you get to experience the Prince of Wales hotel, see the bustling street AND eat delicious food with tea! read more

One of the reasons we decided to stay at the hotel was to also have their Traditional Afternoon Tea set. It's currently $55 per person and booking online was easy. There aren't that many tables in the sunroom portion of the dining room. We were lucky to get the last one available at the time. Service was good, albeit a bit slow. Our server rattled off all the items in our set, but it was too much to remember for us. Our table for two was quite small once everything arrived at the table. We saw that for those with larger orders, a side table was put next to their table for all the additional items. It didn't look like a lot of food, but it was very filling. Every table had to-go boxes to pack up what they couldn't finish. We found that the bread for the sandwiches was dry (like it had been left out) and that the croissant was not flakey. The sweets were very sweet and after a couple it was just too much. Of the teas that we ordered, the Ginger Twist was flavourful, but the Tropical Green barely had a taste to it. read more

This place is such a gem and worth the trip (and for us an Uber) from Niagara Falls. I am so glad to stumble upon this place on OpenTable when looking for restaurants, especially after enjoying tea another week earlier at the Fairmont Chateau Frontenac. I must say this is even better than that by far. The Drawing Room is on the street side lower level corner inside the historic Prince of Wales Hotel which has an amazing lobby and we wouldn't mind staying there. My wife and I had The Monarch Tea with cheese and wine and we loved everything which was fresh, tasty, delicious, locally sourced, and large portions. Our server Meagan was great and is a Swiftie like is us and why we came to Canada. We certainly look forward to returning! read more

I'm somewhat of an Afternoon/High tea fiend, and I've been to quite a lot in Ontario. I will say The Drawing Room has THE BEST high tea atmosphere I've experienced. From the English Victorian era decor, the plush seats/sofas, ornate cutlery & plates, waitress ensembles, and the beautiful sunroom. We all got the $55 Traditional High Tea set. I liked the tea selections, but the tower of food in itself had too many sweets and not enough savoury. Seeing that 2/3 of the tower were sweet pastries, it felt more like a dessert tower. I wish there were TWO plain or savoury scones instead of just one sweet scone with the butter tart. Overall, a delightful experience to enjoy with friends nevertheless :) TIP: if you mention it's a birthday celebration, they give you a COMPLIMENTARY BUTTER TART with a candle read more

We decided to take a drive to Niagara on the Lake. I booked the afternoon tea at the drawing room in the Prince of Wales Hotel. It is a cute room, very English looking ( of course). The menu consists of the basic afternoon tea set with the 3-tier food tray and choices of tea. Some special teas cost $12 CAD more. Add ons for additional cost, you can get cheese, bubble wines etc. There are lots of food, from the savory ones to sweet ones. Our server Megan was nice. She had to attend to many tables but still gave us good service. Parking is on the street with payment outside. The whole sweet was just beautiful, full of flowers. The hotel itself also is gorgeous looking with patterned wood floors and fresh roses. The whole place smells like roses. I am sure I will be back. read more

Old world high tea was nice. Staff was friendly and efficient. Nice tea time bites, as you'd expect. My party raved these were the best scones they ever had and enjoyed the lemon butter. Quality of everything was quite good. Call ahead and you can request non gluten. My sister did and her servings were quite good too. Not half done, she had a good spread. While the tea selection is wide enough and you have some upgrade options, I wasn't too fond of the three teas I tried. I personally got the upgraded Darjeeling and thought the quality was just OK based on other varieties I've tried in the past. Same went with the peaches and crème as well as the ginger tea. Maybe I'm used to a bit more of a steep. Ambience is nice. Old vintage vibe. Bathroom is a bit small, but adequate. read more
