"My daughters treated me to an afternoon tea at the Dome….which we were so looking forward to…..on arriving we were shown to our seat by a pleasant young man. We were then asked what kind of scone would we like I.e. fruit or plain….which we never thought about at the time. We then got our glass of champagne which was an extra fee….NOT..champagne it was Cava…..anyway we didn’t query as we were looking forward to our afternoon tea. The cake stand looked so bare and the cakes certainly were nothing like shown on this page. I then had the sandwiches which were lovely. I then went to eat eat my scone …..but the knife couldn’t go through it as it was so hard….I then asked the waiter for another one and showed him the crumbly scone which he touched and said it was hard. He the brought another one (which took about 10 minutes to bring) we then thought they are frozen and taken out to heat before serving….that’s why we were asked what kind we wanted. They were obviously taken out by order of preference….Again same thing happened the scone crumbled as I tried to cut in half. I asked to speak to the manager who then told me they were baked that morning!!!!!no way they were brick hard. Anyway she deducted one afternoon tea of the bill, which was ok…but to be honest it wasn’t about getting a free afternoon tea it was thfact it was my birthday and my daughters were so disappointed for me. By the way they’re scones were tasteless…..so The Dome…..get decent scones that loook like scones and make your cake stand more inviting and you wouldn’t get bad feedback from customers."

It was my first time visiting the Georgian tearoom at the dome and it was so lovely, the staff were so friendly and i just loved the decor. The food was amazing too highly recommended to anyone.

I love trying a new brew and there are quite a few at this tea shop that I hadn't had before. The place was peaceful and I didn't feel rushed to have my cuppa and leave. I love the mural on wall too!

Great venue for afternoon tea, food was brilliant and the staff so attentive – we were served by Marcus and he couldn’t do enough to make sure our time there was just right. Would definitely recommend. View menu

An elegant room with an ambience of the luxurious past. We had coffee followed by tea (no problem) A selection of delicious sandwiches and fabulous cakes were delivered and duly demolished. We loved it! PS Toilet facilities are best in Edinburgh!

Service was very poor which is disappointing as it is a beautiful venue. Unfortunately we thought it was the worst afternoon tea that we had. Would not recommend. We have been previously for dinner in the grill room, this is a totally different experience.

The Georgian Tea Room at the Dome is a beautiful space within elegant surroundings. The tea is a standard 3 tier affair with a mix of sandwiches, scones and small cakes of a decent quality, but not the best we've had. There is a wide selection of interesting teas to choose from and you can add a glass of bubbly. The service was friendly and attentive, though once we'd been served it was a little hard to get someone's attention for a top up of hot water or any other requests. A very nice experience. You have to pay a deposit at the time of booking and our slot was only for two hours, but we never felt rushed. View menu

One of my friends I was traveling with to Edinburgh wanted to go to tea here. While the room was beautiful, the servers seemed bored and unengaged never checked on us maybe because we were not locals? then seemed irritated that we wanted to have separate checks Some of the sandwiches were borderline stale like they had been sitting in a refrigerator uncovered for a long time while a few of the others were good Pastries were average but one of our friends who is a vegetarian was glad to have the option, but her food had the same issues.... trying to get a taxi or uber was a pain.... Wouldn't discourage anyone from going, but wouldn't recommend

Booked afternoon tea for myself and my daughter. The surroundings are wonderful and staff great but the afternoon tea itself was a disappointment. It’s not cheap at £27 each and both being vegetarian we felt quite cheated in what we received. In todays world there are lots of vegetarian alternatives and we had the usual egg mayonnaise, cheese and chutney and an odd sandwich of sliced peppers with hummus. Only 3 finger sandwiches and a small mushroom sausage roll type thing .The scone was lovely but the cakes and pastries were a real let down. When you go for afternoon tea the cakes and pastries are usually the thing that sells it and are something special. The other diners had lovely offerin...
