We arrived at our scheduled reservation time and were immediately greeted and seated. Our Server was Exceptional! I told her it was my sister's Birthday treat and she had the kitchen make a sweet "Happy Birthday" chocolate pastille on the dessert tier. Service was perfect, neither hurried or forgotten about. The setting in the beautiful Butchart house is beautiful; we looked out onto the Private Garden. Water for tea was refreshed with perfect timing and our server was friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend Tea at The Butchart Gardens
