The Lobby Lounge

First time visiting the Shangri-La in Sydney and was a lovely experience. The decor is a little dated but the service at The Lobby Lounge was not.

Had the high tea, they didn’t have my reservation but quickly resolved that for us and prepared our table.

Food was served quickly, and dishes were explained including what drinks were provided and the scones were probably some of the best I’ve had. Unfortunately the savoury food was a letdown but the desserts were good.

Big call out to Anna(?) who I believe is the manager there. She was professional, polite and connected well with her customers. Would definitely come back.

There is a special lobster burger available at the Lobby Lounge but you need to make a reservation. It comes with shoestring fries. Very nice for a lunchtime treat.

Very enjoyable night!

Had high tea, the quality is very good. Had some savoury nibbles, not only sandwich, petite four was excellent. Scones were ok with raspberry jam and normal cream. Coffee was ordinary, but sparkling wine and loose leaf tea was good. Nothing fancy about the tea wear. Service was good, friendly staff. There is no view because it’s literally in the lobby right next to the cloak room if you are expecting the harbour view. It was $55 for each including the bubbly, so I guess it’s worth what I paid for.

Get your high tea fix here - remember to book ahead. Convenient lounge with good service and quality foodstuffs. My current favourite is the tuna sandwich and the energiser freshly squeezed fruit juice.

I really enjoyed our high tea today highly recommend

Good friendly service, high tea was delicious and not too overly sweet. Unlimited tea per high tea ordered, so you can try every variety! Had the Annas Mess here too. Delicious. However we couldn't smash it as the hotel would not let us.. Too messy. U need to take away the mess if u want to smash it.

Came here again for aeroplane bunny Easter dessert and it was delicious! And the mushroom cappuccino soup was divine!!!

We ate here and had the Christmas inspired high tea. It was beautifully set up and the sweets where very nice. Personally I would have liked a few more savoury dishes .

Desserts at their high teas is one of the best I've had around

Lovely service and set up of the high tea. Only downsides were the incessant fruit flies (had to move tables away from the food) and dated furniture. The couches looked damp and had stray hairs.

Quiet place to meet and discuss work or life. Decor is a bit dated, but the quiet will make up for it. Food and drinks options are just about okay.

Sell honey in a jar that is from bee hive on the roof of the Shangri-La. $16 a jar but we'll worth it to Super the urban bee hive.

great for a pick me up or catch up with friends. friendly service and great location

Service was fine but the high tea was not value as 5 star hotel. Quite disappointed... scone was the tasty one
