Service was sadly lacking. We had to ask for many things that should have been part of the service. Also, a small but significant disappointment was no clotted cream with our scones. It was on the menu but did not come with our food, when we asked our server if we could have some she said it was most likely all gone and never came back to our table to let us know anything else. Also, only having 1 small serving of tea was disappointing. It worked out to be 2 small cups of tea, no refill of hot water offered like other places do. Price of meal not comprable to food/tea value and service lacked. Location absolutely beautiful and made up for some of the catering faults. Overall it was just okay. Wouldn't come again as we have had several better high tea experiences elsewhere.

We had wanted to participate in a 'Halloween' themed experience and this event delivered. The ambience, from the waiting staff to the table settings to the small details (such as as the chocolate bats on the desserts to the dry ice in some of the drinks) set the mood. We appreciated the variety and quantity of savoury offerings and desserts. We especially loved the Phantom Salmon Mousse , Curried Chicken Apple Blini, Edamame Hollow hummus cup, and the exquisite mini pastries. We plan to attend again next year.

Attended High Tea at the Lougheed House on Halloween. Very busy event, far too many tables crammed into space. No parking available in Lougheed House parking lots, very inconvenient for seniors/disabilities. One of our party was in a wheelchair and although "accessible", the only washroom is in the basement. We had to disturb other tables for guest in wheelchair to go to washroom as tables were many and close together. All staff were very pleasant, courteous and accommodating, but the service was VERY slow. Thirty minutes to receive tea after ordering, food another 30 minutes later. Food quality was good but at our table of 6, we could have used more savory food. Six people at our table and only 5 or less items per person served and some items were very small. Tea biscuits were very dry. Salmon/caper appetizers were excellent. Over-priced event for overall experience. Fewer tables/less people would provide better service and a little more food per table.

I found it very odd that vegetarians were charged an extra $10 for the meal! I have never seen this at all the afternoons I have attended elsewhere. If anything, sometimes vegetarian meals are cheaper! This definitely rubbed me the wrong way as it already is an expensive treat.

Alcohol was served at 600 PM and forward, but no food was served or available, until almost 900 PM. This is a violation of the ALGC and reportable to AHS/public health inspection. My plate was ice cold but no waiter/waitress came back to inquire about the meal until much later, basically to clear the table.
A Certain Flair Catering at Lougheed HouseResponded on October 28, 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your experience, as we always strive to provide quality food and attentive service to our clients and their guests. Soup service began around 7:30 p.m., with all courses completed by 9:30 p.m. Limited bar and kitchen space required additional coordination, and slower-than-anticipated beverage service slightly delayed dinner. Our team worked to provide efficient, safe and responsible service within the venue's limitations. We take your concerns about the food seriously and would appreciate details about which dishes fell short so we can properly review your experience. Thank you again for bringing these concerns to our attention.

Was less than ideal. Attended in 2023 and was great. This year was so disappointing. Interactive play was horrible-disjointed, missing character-inconsistency in narrative and information given. Just really sad overall, Dinner was fair-again much better in 2023. Highlights were the venue and the wait/service staff who were fantastic. Would not repeat the experience again.
A Certain Flair Catering at Lougheed HouseResponded on October 28, 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that this year's experience didn't live up to your visit in 2023. While the interactive performance is managed separately from our catering team, we understand how important the overall experience is and will ensure your comments are shared with the organizers. We're also disappointed to hear that dinner didn't meet your previous expectations and would welcome any additional feedback about the meal. We truly appreciate your kind words about our service staff and the venue, and thank you for recognizing their efforts throughout the evening. I have also sent you a private message as well.

Really good experience. The venue itself is special - a historical home from the 1890's in a park setting in the heart of Calgary Beltline. Afternoon tea includes free entrance to the museum within the house. The afternoon tea was well balanced between savory and sweet treats, with a very good variety of different items in each category, and all of good quality. The tea selection was wide and interesting. Service throughout was warm, friendly and helpful. Our table was a little small for 4 people but that didn't detract very much from the overall experience.

We had so much fun at the Mother’s Day tea! The staff were friendly, accommodating, and helpful, even though it was incredibly busy. They all worked so hard to ensure a great experience and I look forward to the next tea I can attend!

Unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. The set up was lovely, we thought the menu choices were great however, we waited an hour to receive the lunch and I was a gluten-free option and the breads were very dry. The desserts were very good for both unfortunately, we were expecting a better experience for the price.
A Certain Flair Catering at Lougheed HouseResponded on May 15, 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very glad to hear you enjoyed the setup, menu selections, and desserts, though we are sorry parts of the experience did not meet expectations. Mother’s Day weekend is one of our busiest events of the year, and unfortunately we also had several staff members call in sick that morning, which did result in longer wait times than we would normally expect. We also appreciate the feedback regarding the gluten free breads. While we always do our best to accommodate dietary requests, gluten free baking is not our specialty and some gluten free items are sourced through specialty gluten free bakeries and suppliers. Thank you again for joining us and for sharing your experience.
