Drove 90 minutes for my wife’s birthday tea. It came recommended by 2 different friends of ours and my wife, definitely a tea person, wanted to go for her birthday so we did. We truly enjoyed our time and it was what we expected. A truly British restaurant, pub like atmosphere. All we experienced was a busy, full of a lot of energy, place. Tea was great but if you are looking for a “quaint” location for quietness, this is not the place. Though tea service is served and is done quite well with delicious bites and tea flavor was great, not a quiet atmosphere. However, what I did notice was lunch being served to most patrons, the serving sizes were more than adequate in size. Large lunch portions of food streamed by our table. So, will we return? Absolutely YES. But we’ll go for lunch. We enjoyed our time and look forward to our return someday.

Food was fantastic! I very much enjoyed my glass of bambino, grain bowl salad, and chocolate fondant dessert. Deducting one star as service was slow (it was a busy night but it was even slow for a busy night).

Lovely tea with a great selection! They also accommodate food allergies which is great (some tea places still won’t do this). The patio is beautiful and it was all tasty. Especially loved the little roast beef with au jus. You get 2 little scones and a bread- all wonderful! Highly recommend.
