came here for high tea for the first time as a treat with my mum and made a reservation; service was commendable (4/5) tea selection was very detailed and innovative but lacked the usual selection (eg they didn't have regular earl grey, only CREAM of earl grey). to be honest, the food entirely not to my liking and not up to standard. We had the coronation chicken sandwich, which had a good filling but the bread underneath was stale and cold as if it had been refrigerated for a while. the smoked salmon with caviar was also a great filling - light and fresh, but the piece also felt like it had been sitting in the fridge for a while as well. what a pity! The desserts were way too sweet and quite dry. I would've liked to see something a bit fruitier (perhaps a mousse of some sort) because all I could taste was sugar, sugar, sugar. The scones were the saving grace and were nice and fluffy. overall, I would say the service and ambience was great, but the food was definitely sub-par for a high tea costing $70 for two people (originally $120). I hope they make some changes to the menu so that the savoury sandwiches don't taste like they came from the airport lounge refrigerator from the day before. I cannot speak for the lunch/dinner, but I would not come here again for the high tea. edit:: I had been contacted and returned for another go -the pieces were a lot more fresh this time around, and since then they had altered their menu slightly to suit my needs. I am very satisfied and would recommend the globe@YVR! Had a lovely afternoon! I have changed my rating based on this follow-up

Amazing food, great ambiance and live music. The lamb course was fabulous and the poke appetizer was delicious too. Would come again for sure!

Went to the Breakfast Buffet for Father's Day. Great selection. Variety of pastries including very buttery croissants. There was also smoked salmon. Also a waffle and omelette station. At $32 for the deluxe breakfast buffet, it's not a bad choice for special occasions.
