   I had the pleasure of experiencing afternoon tea at The Glasshouse Hotel today, and it was exceptional! The beautifully presented sandwiches, scones, and pastries were delicious, and the service was impeccable. The cozy setting, with its stylish fireplace, made the experience even more special. I can only imagine how incredible it will be in summer when the rooftop terrace opens—I can’t wait to return for another indulgent afternoon in the sunshine! Highly recommend.

   The staff were so lovely and attentive, the only thing would be where we had been sitting but I also understood that it was a larger group. The food was fantastic!

   The afternoon tea was delicious. I am gluten intolerant and this was the best afternoon tea I’ve had. The scones were light and fluffy, my cakes were delicious. It felt like the chef had taken a lot of trouble to create a special afternoon tea for me.

   Wow, that was some afternoon tea. My wife and I like the occasional afternoon tea and this is right up there with the best of them. The choice of drinks was good and quickly replenished by courteous and attentive staff. To be fair though we were the only ones there. The food was amazing. The hot savoury dishes were unusual but not too weird, feta and red onion quiche (my favourite) and a black haggis & red onion sausage roll. The sandwiches were more traditional but still made really well. There were two plain and two fruit scones which were smaller than you'd usually have but by the time I'd got to my second one this didn't seem like a problem. Finally there was a lovely selection of 'wee cakes', these were taken back to our room to be consumed later as by the time we got to them we were really quite full. They were still lovely hours later. All in all this was a superb afternoon tea. All of the ingredients seemed excellent. All items were carefully placed and thoughtfully displayed. The portions were also really good without looking too gluttonous. My only criticism is the location, the Snug is a lovely wee lounge, isolated from the outside world, but does not have the same feel as a well appointed restaurant or tea-room. In warmer weather though afternoon tea can be taken out in the roof garden (right next to the Snug) and I imagine this would make for a fantastic dining experience. I would highly recommend Afternoon tea at the Glasshouse hotel.

   The whole experience from entering to leaving was excellent. The staff were friendly and talkative when you spoke to them. The staff in the restaurant part were superb and friendly also. We got shown about the gardens etc and told where we could get some really nice pictures of Leith etc. Its a place where i would go back to without any problems. The food was lovely and hot also including the tomato, the coffee was hot and strong as well. The staff were relaxed and helpful when needed.

   Not quite what we were expecting. On arrival at reception it was lovely, but we were then directed to the lift which took us up to the level The Snug is on. We had to walk along a long corridor of bedrooms and suites to reach The Snug. It felt like our table had been set out of the way, we were in an alcove next to the emergency exit. We very much felt that the area was for hotel guests only and not for general members of the public. The menu was limited and not as expected, but nice. We couldn't find the menu online and to be honest, if we had, we possibly would have gone elsewhere.

   Odd set up for afternoon tea. A window-less space, little atmosphere, inattentive staff - pretty disappointing unfortunately.

    Food was a let down- the savoury foods were bland and did not as advertised, have any Scottish style things(except tough dry smoked salmon bagel thing). The cakes were ok- scones nice. Went here about 4 years ago and we were sat on the glasshouse so had a nice view and food was excellent but this time we were put in the snug Which is just a large hallway between hotel rooms so did not get the view and afternoon tea was just not as good so but disappointed.
