This was the most disappointing tea experience we had in the UK. I wanted our last afternoon to be special and really do it up with a fancy afternoon tea experience to round out our vacation. After pouring over reviews and photos I settled on Prestonfield. We reached the rather remote location and were fairly quickly ushered upstairs to a lavishly, if not garishly, decorated room filled with sofas and tea tables. It was very dark and overstuffed with furniture. Being August, I had assumed we would be seated outside because of all the pictures I had seen online, but the weather was a bit iffy that day, so inside we were. There was a family slouched around one of the sofa sections as we entere...
From the warm welcome we received outside the restaurant to our farewell, our visit was truly magical. The service was exceptional, attentive but not intrusive. They were willing to accommodate all of our requests. The food was absolutely delicious. We were there to celebrate my daughter's birthday and our meal ended with a delightful plate of complimentary handmade chocolates on a Happy Birthday plate. They even boxed up our leftovers beautifully for us to take home. It was a traditional dining experience made even more special by the wonderful staff and charming ambiance. We will definitely be returning.
I had an exceptional experience at this restaurant. The ambiance is stunning, peaceful, and lovely. The afternoon tea, priced at 50£, is definitely worth it. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Edinburgh!
This was the best experience at the best place! We took our time to savor it and enjoyed every moment of it! I highly recommend this place! Thank you!
