    Everybody was lovely and accommodating. One of the members of our party has an allergy to garlic, and they were very accommodating to that as well. And her food was still delicious.

    This was our first time having tea at the Huntington Tea Room since they reopened. We sat on the new patio, which was beautifully furnished and surrounded by a garden that somehow gave you privacy from people in the Rose Garden. The food was delicious, especially the tea sandwiches...my favorite! Several teas to choose from.

    Dining room was under whelming. No flowers no ambiance. Outside tables looked better with views of the gardens. The tea sandwiches were not great. Overpriced.

    Food is great, service has been improved but there is still room to be better. Very noisy. I think they should not allow kids younger than 3 to go because there was one who was super noisy and has no manners at all.

    This place was beautiful and the service was spectacular. I’d say it’s a lil too pricey for what you get though. I’ve had high tea at other places that were around $30-$40 and had more stuff whereas this place (while yes it was good) was $64 per person for a few slices of bread, tarts, crumpets, and one tea selection. On top of that, you have to pay to get into the Huntington. I still rate it five stars cause it was a beautiful and calm experience, but again just a bit overpriced.

    Lovely table in the Herb Garden room for our party of 4. Delicious scones, sandwiches and tarts, and one of the best jasmine teas I have tasted. Wonderful!

    Outside dining is the best anywhere. I recommend the traditional tea as it is more than enough.
