    Absolutely phenomenal high tea experience. Faith was an incredible host and server. The food was well thought out, high quality, and the tea selection was fascinating to be taken through. All in all, every staff member we encountered from the gate to the lounge was immaculate. This stacks up to all 5 star high tea experiences I have had overseas.

    The music was a bit loud as the people were all trying to talk over it. Got better when it was only the saxophonist playing. I paid when making a booking and was shocked when I was given a bill of R200 on the day as Surcharge and had to tip the waiter. I feel like it's a rip off to be made to pay R200 to the hotel's staff. Why doesn't the hotel pay them a salary? What would have happened if I didn't have that R200 because my assumption was that I already paid for my Afternoon Tea? The service was excellent as usual and so was the food.

    What an outstanding and indulgent experience! Our every need was taken care of by Faith, she was superb. The savory treats were truly delicious. The leek and truffle quiche was my favorite, it was luxuriously rich. The sweet treats were almost too beautiful to eat - every single bite was a taste sensation.

    No halal meat options? Food was very average. Loud and rowdy other patrons. Small seating area. Waiters and waitresses were pretty subpar. I used to love afternoon tea at the saxon but my experience was very average yesterday. Please do better.

    It was an awesome experience. I will be returning soon, the management and manager were extremely hospitable and professional while making it a delightful experience for my family and daughter who was celebrating her 21st BD. The manager also handled a misunderstanding with grace and humility. You must be proud of your team and establishment. Kind regards
