Palm Court

This is my second afternoon tea experience in general, and it definitely did not disappoint. Starting with the dining ambiance, we went in the afternoon while the harpist was playing, love the lighting and little fountain inside the dining area, as if it replicate an outdoor dinning experience without facing the cold Chicago weather. The service was also amazing, our server explained the teas and items on the tea stand patiently. Throughout our time there they were also very attentive and refill the food upon request. The food itself was amazing too. We came during Halloween time so the items were themed. The muffin and cornbread are super delicious and we j small bite sizes. All the sweet and savory dishes were just as memorable too

It was an amazing experience! I went with my sister! My review is not only about the food, its about the entire experience! Starting out entering the Drake, it was very clean, the decore for the occasion was beautifully executed! Staff were very kind. There was a free coat check (of course you can leave a tip). Our seat was directly in front of the pond and near the live harp. I think that. Our reservation was at 1130 so we were early and only seats of 2 are seated around the pound!!!! From, our seats, the live harp, the live carolers, the elegance was outstanding! Our I selected the garden tea! I am so happy that's all you choose, as the rest of the meal is all planned out! The menu is there to show you what you are to expect, which tea you'd like to select and if you want any alcohol. We selected, Angel's on High, song for our table. The beautiful voices of the carolers, made my sister cry! As a child I always played tea! I'm so happy to have experienced this now. Would I order the menu as a take out, for the price? Of course not! It's about 86$ per person! But it's not only about the food! If you read reviews about people only talking about the food, giving a low star, it's their loss! They're missing the whole point! Smh Each women's bathroom is her own world! Walking in there are beautiful couches and walking to each stall, each stall has its own sink great decore, and bench for relaxing after she uses the facilities! We slowly enjoyed every moment. It was not a breakfast, lunch or dinner type event. This is to be a relaxing, slow enjoyable, ambiance intaking memory! And we enjoyed every moment!

I had a great time here for afternoon tea. What a beautiful floral arrangement and fountain. It was really busy, but the service was friendly. Would definitely come again! My only critique is that they give you dinner rolls and call them scones. I didn't mind too much, but it is a little strange. On the weekends, they even have a harp player. The price is more reasonable than other 5 star hotels in Chicago. The historic setting was a major factor in me choosing this afternoon tea over another location

Went here for their high tea experience and really loved it. The place is beautiful and the high tea experience was also phenomenal. They had an amazing variety of teas and snacks - definitely something for everyone to enjoy. Would definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys tea. Very nice experience.

Nice Atmosphere, great servers, nice experience. Probably a once and a lifetime experience (due to the pricepoint fot tea and pastries,) but it was a nice tea date. The pastries are delicious. We had a great time
