The Victoria Room
Reviews
My friend had her 30th birthday at the Victoria Room which involved lots of girls dressing up and enjoying high tea. It's a great venue but I always find it to be so dark and therefore it makes you feel drunk when you're not (even when you've yet to have any alcohol). The sandwiches were good and the sugary treats were very tasty. A good spot if you want to spoil yourself along with some good friends.
The place looks absolutely amazing, all the decoration has been thoroughly thought ! The service was great with very friendly and helpful staff! And the food? Up there with absolutely delicious wagyu skewers! Definitely a place to try!
The fruit and chocolate plate is huge, delicious, and wonderful. Would also recommend the espresso martini, and the Andalusian Buck. Our waitress was just the right amount of chatty, but not intrusive, and the decor is classy, but not uncomfortably so. Really nice place for a date.
Had High Tea here today and it was lovely! It's a great atmosphere here; for more relaxed than the hotels where the lighting is bright and it's all very formal... The Victoria Room has a more casual feel and plays some great tunes - Walk on the wild side by Lou Reed was playing as we walked in :) The food was good but not great. The scones were small and didn't have that nice crunch on top, although the cream was really nice. I really enjoyed 2 of the sweets, 1 was just nice, and the macaron was disappointing. The sandwiches were all lovely, but the smoked salmon was just lacking something... Service was good and the tea was nice and hot.
Went on a school night (Thursday if I'm correct) so the place was quite empty, not that I mind. The food was tasty but what I was really impressed with was the cocktail menu. Lots of options and different tastes to suit everyone. Our waiter informed us that they have live piano on Friday and different event on Sunday. So it would be probably best to go one of those days and to be on the safe side book a table.
