Coombe Yarra Valley

Thoroughly underwhelming High Tea at Coombe. First impressions are great, beautiful gardens and building. That's where it stopped, a huge line to be seated where you are in the way of wait staff who are bustling back and forward. Seated at a lovely table with a great view, although you have to pay extra to be able to walk the gardens. The high tea was very disappointing, the sandwiches were dry and one had a crust on it. No other savoury items on the menu. The "desserts" are really petit fours and the scones were ok but would have been much better served warm. There was barely enough jam and cream for scones and no serving spoons supplied. Champagne was nice. Ordered tea but after waiting a while we asked where it was and they advised there was a long wait and it arrived after we had finished the high tea. Staff were fine but not overly accommodating. A disappointing experience that we had been looking forward to and considering the cost versus what was supplied it was very unreasonable.

I attended a high tea here for a birthday today and I must say that he food was delicious (minus a little to much Mayo in the chicken sandwiches) its the only thing o could fault. The staff were lovely and very attentive.

We were served by Min and she was amazing - gave such great information about the wines and made us feel so at home during the tasting :)

Value for a vegetarian/vegan is not very good. I ordered a meal dairy free as stated as an option on the menu which was simply the original dish with the dairy element removed, no alternative provided.
