Honestly, a disappointing experience. The food was good but service was not. The waiter forgot about our table. Did not come back to check on us or fill waters. Part of my order was missing & it was not rectified. The prices are staggering & the service should match this.
We visited for afternoon tea &, while the food had some enjoyable highlights, the overall experience didn't quite match what we were hoping for at this price point.
A few things stood out. The tea was served in mugs rather than traditional fine china cups - a small but noticeable detail that affects both the temperature & the spirit of a proper afternoon tea. We also found the atmosphere harder to enjoy than expected: staff were visibly preparing for dinner service throughout our visit, which included spraying & wiping down nearby tables, & moving large carts & trolleys across the room. There was also an open bar area where we could see & hear staff socializing. Together, these things made it difficult to settle into the relaxed, refined experience that afternoon tea is meant to offer.
Given that this is set within the Fairmont Elizabeth, we came in with expectations of a more elegant & traditional experience. We hope the team takes this as helpful feedback & constructive criticism - with a little more attention to the atmosphere & presentation during service.

Went for the buffet on a Sunday afternoon. The food presentation, the staff & the atmosphere is amazing. My only comment is the lack of vegetarian food. It's unfair for a vegetarian to pay full price at the buffet for basically salad, pasta & cold pizza. It's 2026, I would have thought a top tier $100 buffet would have more options with tofu, lentils, different types of pasta etc. Besides the lack of options for vegetarian, it was great.
I had the worse experiece of a dining service in this restaurant. The reception forgot about jotting down our names just after 2 minutes & asked if we have reservstion for second time! &… the waiter was the worse one I have ever seen!! Extremely rude! He ignored us for 20 min & did not bring water! When we wanted to place our order, he pretend that he could not hear what we were saying & make a strange face like he do a favor to take our order! Also the night was a birthday night for one of us & after we had our birthday dessert, in the middle of singing happy birthday, he threw bills on the table!!! Not jocking! Threw them! Worse experience ever! + the food is over priced!
For the price of Sunday buffet ($88), I was expecting more than just salmon & tuna sashimi. There were also other food choices but mostly carb loaded (pizza, crepes, sushi roles, etc.)
The coffee was mediocre to say the best- orange juice is store bought (correct me if I'm wrong- but it's definitely not freshly pressed).
The service is arrogant & busy- overall it was disappointing.
Went for tea & had high expectations for a nice ladies' afternoon. The service was very slow. Our waiter was wearing his green union t-shirt & an apron - not the look you would expect. The water for the tea was not hot. The room on the 2nd floor where we were seated looked'tired'. The highlight was the food which was quite tasty but at a $200 price tag for 3 people (no alcohol, just tea) it was very disappointing. If you are looking for a high tea experience, I would recommend trying somewhere else.

Went there for dinner. The atmosphere & the service are good but the food is very average for the price range. The choices are very limited. You can get way better in Montreal for that price.
We visited for the afternoon tea. The tea was really good. A very present flavour green tea. I do recommend. Food-wise, it was far from acceptable experience. The salty options, two were really good. The fois gras & the smoked salmon. Others were inexpressible. The banana cake seemed like artificial, we can have better options from Starbucks. The sweaty options, again two were ok-good. Nothing outstanding. The chocolate pistachio & a small peach-ish option. Location is fantastic, the center of downtown. However, the inside felt extremely empty as a tea room. It seemed like a small conference support room. Considering price, experience & quality, I do not recommend the afternoon tea. It's too expensive for what is proposed.
They had the wrong price for one of their dining service gift certificates on their site. I wrote in asking if they would honour the listed price. They changed the price on their site & never acknowledged my inquiry. I wrote back again to get a response. Rather than respond in writing, they called me - which is fine, but I missed their call. Called back within four minutes. I was told they couldn't find the person who called me at the moment but took my information for a call back. Four days later & no call back. Also worth noting that the person who called me asked that I call back in voicemail but didn't include a number - more proof he never intended to talk to me. It's shoddy customer service. You made a mistake on your site, fine, but own up to it & acknowledge a customer reaching out. I gave two stars instead of one because the staff member who answered my call & took my information was pleasant & professional - at least some staff are even if management isn't.

We went for the big Sunday Brunch to celebrate a birthday. We found street parking that was free until 1pm (Bonus!). When we arrived in the reception area, everyone that reserved for the seating was waiting to enter. Service was friendly & efficient. Food was good. Tasty, fresh & well prepared. 4* for very good overall experience. There could be more variety. Salad selection was very basic. Nothing special was prepared. Carvery was very good. Generally clean - I had to wipe down some of the cutlery due to water stains/other marks. The server that seated us made a point to wipe down the banquette seating for us as it was overlooked in prep for our seating. To be 5*, more orderly waiting area with someone to direct traffic. All seating & tables, cutlery must all be clean upon arrival. If something is offered, ie salad station, make an effort to offer something special/extraordinary. As a seasoned traveller, this was an average buffet brunch for the price. I do recommend to go because it is a pleasant experience.
Food was nice mostly: Grilled octopus was terrible, tasted boiled not grilled but steak & sides were amazing! Menu is reasonably priced. Service was very friendly. Place is nice, but atmosphere was quiet & boring, old crowd.
Very nicely decorated restaurant. Clientele are mainly businesses from downtown. Although food was great the price is rather high. It was a great experience but not your normal day to day dining.
Ok it's a hotel restaurant. So the vibe is hotel. The price is on the high end but the food is fresh & tasty. The staff are friendly & prompt. Good breakfast buffet & options if you are staying at the fairmont.

Just awesome!!!!!!!! Service was great, food was incredible. Tea excellent! It was an afternoon barbie tea experience. Fantastic. However be ready for the price... this is a very expensive place...but he...very nice experience...
In this economy, a $85 buffet better stand toe to toe with a Vegas style; otherwise what is the point?! Sorry to disappoint the girlies, but Rosélys falls short of its price tag. The free/included mimosa is cool & all, but they should be unlimited if you ask me, because the food options are mid. On the other hand, the Montreal Casino's buffett has a more interesting offering at a fraction of the price.
