Afternoon Tea

I took my Mom here for a holiday afternoon tea . It was a great experience! We sat in the beautiful atrium where the gigantic chandelier hung overhead. We were served tea and sandwiches right away. I tried their Brown Palace Hotel Christmas spice tea, and my Mom tried their white peach tea; both were delicious! We had scones with the yummy Devonshire Cream, and plenty of cucumber and egg sandwiches. The waitresses were friendly and professional. We'll be back again!

Came here for afternoon tea with my family. The seating area is truly beautiful, the service is great, and it is an experience that helps you to connect with your senses and have some quality time with the people you go with. Also a great excuse to wear a fun fancy outfit. The food was good. I am gf and vegetarian and they accommodated me with a separate plate of food I could eat. I very much appreciated this and my food was good. My favorite was the cream and curd for the scones. My family also enjoyed their food. I don't know that any of them enjoyed the turkey sandwiches but that's more of a personal preference. We got 3 tea choices for our table of 5. The tea was good but I think we would have loved the opportunity to try more different teas. Overall my main complaint is the price to food/experience ratio. The basic afternoon tea is about $80 and although I understand there is a premium for the elegance and unique value of the venue, I have had other comparable afternoon/high tea experiences at places in Denver for about half that price.

The food is pretty good but not five star. I do wish they would step up the game a little bit for afternoon tea. But it's always nice. And you of course are paying for the ambience. For a special occasion. It's always fun. It's totally a Denver thing. So great for out-of-town company. Service was excellent perhaps really even more than excellent! Valet is $15 but that's pretty standard.

We went to The Brown Palace for Christmas tea. I made the reservations many months in advance. It was so packed they squeezed in extra tables and we were literally at a folding table right near the guest registration and not really in the dining room (though the whole place is so large you can still see portions even from there). The decor is gorgeous and the servers well trained but not terribly attentive in such busy conditions. I let them know ahead of time, at check-in and when seated that I am gluten free and they said they were happy to accommodate. At no time did they tell me it was a $10 up charge, though it might have had small print on the menu. When I made the reservation the tea was a pricey $65. By the time we arrived they'd upped it to $75. With my up charge it was $85 for two cups of tea, several finger sandwiches, two gluten free scones and several little desserts. Most of the gf food was very tasty. One scone was so dry it just crumbled. This is clearly intended to be an experience and I don't think I'd go again.

What a beautiful place to spend an afternoon - sipping tea and eating afternoon delicacies! The holiday season brings a festive approach to the ambiance. There is also a live piano player who is willing to play anything you'd enjoy to listen! Servers are definitely very professional and friendly.

Tried our luck today with a very last minute reservation at the Brown Palace today for holiday tea and we were not disappointed. Holiday tea is a long standing tradition at the Brown Palace that many people come too year over year. Because of this, when the reservations open on June 1st, it can be hard to get a spot. Don't get discouraged. Call and get on the cancellation list and continue to check Open Table. We looked 15 minutes before the reservation started and one opened up. It felt like the stars aligned. The space itself is easily one of the most magical in Denver at Christmas time but the food and drink didn't disappoint either. At $75 a head ($35 for ages six and under) it's not an inexpensive way to spend the day, but it is worth it. Make sure you dress up, many people look like they walked out of a NYC Christmas movie, and you'll want to too.

First time experiencing afternoon tea and this place nailed it. The Brown Hotel is historical and they have afternoon tea down to a science. The pictures are pretty self explanatory. Everything was delicious: finger sandwiches, scones, clotted cream, blackberry jam, Chai tea, mixed drinks, oh my! What an experience and amazing memory with friends.

Girl's trip to Denver brought us to the afternoon tea. The whole experience far exceeded our expectations. Food was delicious and presentation lovely. But what really made it special was our server Hiwat. Her kindness, humor, and attentiveness were unparalleled.

Skip this one and save your money. Try another afternoon tea experience. Definitely a money grab. I'm comparing this to other local tea rooms. We were extremely disappointed in the quality of the food. The food didn't taste fresh. They added seating around the perimeter. Asa result, our table among other tables were within close vicinity of the cigar lounge and in front of the stairs. The upside was that the wait staff was extremely friendly. I would recommend lowering the price, improving on the seating, providing a better quality of food.

I took my son, daughter, and 3-year-old granddaughter for afternoon tea to celebrate my granddaughter's "Golden Birthday", 3 on the third. The venue's ambiance is fairy-tale, making it the perfect setting for a princess celebrating her special day.The scones with the Devonshire cream and jam are fabulous, the finger sandwiches are divine, and the desserts, splendidSeeing the joy on her face when I whispered to her, this, is all for you, will be a memory that I shall cherish forever.
