The Terrace in Glasgow City

Booked via 5pm for afternoon tea, one of the first slots for 12 noon on a Saturday. On arrival, had entered from the Great Western Road side, directly into “The Terrace” entrance, the place was deserted, not a single person there/within the bar area to greet us. We had to walk down to the main hotel entrance to speak with reception. We were then taken back to The Terrace to be seated, our table was prepared and ready for us. First impressions, not a great start. The Terrace looks like it had recently gone through a return shortly before being sold by the Hilton so is nice, although the furniture is sparse and doesn’t give that same feeling of a higher end experience. The server, apologies, can’t remember his name but a young boy, very polite and attentive, it’s good to see the younger generation holding a job like this and having a bit of passion. All of the cake selection was very good aswell as the sandwich collection, for the money I’d expected a couple more sandwiches. Great coffee. Would return, however, didn’t think it was worth the £35 price tag, this puts it in direct competition with The Dilmah at the Hilton in Glasgow which is far superior. Atmosphere is why really let this down, maybe the section of part of the terrace specifically for afternoon tea to try and build a bit of atmosphere.

Wasn't open Sunday or Monday that we stayed

Been on a two day course, kind attentive staff and compliments to the kitchen staff as the meals & cakes were superb

Itison ofrece té para dos con un vaso de efervescencia cada uno. Un entorno agradable y un personal agradable. Los sándwiches y pasteles están bien y el té recién hecho es bueno. El buen servicio ha sido más atento ya que esperamos bastante tiempo para el té. Probablemente valió lo que habíamos pagado, pero no más o el precio total anunciado.

El hotel, justo enfrente de Glasgow Botanics, se encuentra en una hermosa parte de la ciudad. La terraza da directamente a las puertas principales. La presentación y el personal en las terrazas fueron buenos con un personal muy agradable. Habíamos reservado para el trato y el personal era acogedor. Elección de bebidas, Prosecco o cócteles con sándwiches, salados, bollos y pasteles. Servido con elección de té o café. La presentación de los pasteles fue excelente. Todo servido en su asiento con servilleta de lino. Baños bonitos y limpios y muy por encima de lo básico. Una bombilla apagada, pero no es culpa de una observación más que hecha por un gran personal.

Very comfy, relaxed and peaceful atmosphere. Have to wait a long time for staff any time I have been in which is disappointing as it is wonderful in every other aspect. Staff are pleasant when they do arrive but do not appreciate having to wait at a bar.

The Terrace is a great place to dine & wine for your time in all weather's day and night in the relaxed bistro type restaurant and wine bar of the Terrace and the menu is well above average with a great light and bright soroundings excuse my spelling error! Went for a late lunch tasty experiment and I will be back for more and also in the evening dinner menu seems exciting shall post more about this on Monday evening after our dinner with friends.😊😀😀
