Claremont Lobby Lounge - Berkeley

Love trying tea venues and this was a special treat on a Sunday afternoon. The view was beautiful and the tea bites delicious. There was not one tidbit we didn't like from the duck breast tea sandwich to the Jellied tea dessert square. Service was timely and friendly and we will return.

We made a reservation for high tea to this past weekend celebrate our very new engagement and were so disappointing by the lack of service and hospitality. At $65/person, we shouldn't have to get up to find water refills, ask several times for hot water refills and sugar/creamer for the tea, pull down the shades ourselves, track down the waiter to ask for the check, and then wait 20 minutes for it. I appreciate that they had good vegetarian alternatives, but this was a frustrating (and expensive! first and last visit to the Claremont. Food was fine, but for the price, you're paying for the experience and it was sorely lacking.

Tea and treats were delicious. Ambiance was perfect for conversation. Staff could be more attentive. Otherwise, would have given 5 stars overall.

It was romantic afternoon tea time. but food was not much Valueable. I can see many process and diffarent ingridences for one snack. they served a lot of varaiety But in total, not much taste good, I respect it,but not worth for $60.....

We brought my husband to have high tea for Father's Day. It was lovely- the service was pleasant and attentive and the tea and food was wonderful. The muscovy duck sandwich was especially good, as was the assortment of tiny desserts. We were stuffed! The only note I'd add: It might be nice to offer two sizes of tea pot. I drink a lot of tea when I'm having high tea and I went through three of the tiny pots! Thank you for a wonderful meal and a lovely experience.
