    The service and atmosphere were outstanding but the food quality was disappointing, especially for the price. Their “Devonshire cream” is not authentic, it is just whipped butter. Desserts had a freezer taste.

    Everything was exceptional. Very attentive service, delicious sandwiches, good pastries, the rose tea was so good we went to buy some in the shop, the lemon custard and marmalade were amazing. I go to tea all over LA and this is top 5. It lived up to the hype.

    I love the Huntington tea room but the food has gone down hill. The sandwiches this time were garlic cream, caramelized onion w tomato, salmon, cucumber, and egg salad. Only a tiny smear on each sandwich. I have celiac disease and the bread was dense and seemed like it had just been thawed, kinda wet. Why two onion type sandwiches? What happened to the chicken salad? Too little filling on very dry bread for the price. Not sure what to think. Not sure if I would recommend.

    Food not worth for what you pay for. But the experience is good. Plus you get to go inside the library and other gardens.

    We loved every aspect of it! The walk to the Tea House is like walking into a masterpiece painting. The Tea House is an unforgettable “experience”, we would never forget. The quality of the food is exceptional, the service is absolutely outstanding and the ambiance is so exquisite, you feel like you’re in a fairy tale. We can’t wait to go back!!!!

    Hostesses unfriendly. How come they kept giving me worse seats in the house? I reserved for standard table and not outdoor but they led me to an outdoor table at an unshaded table… it was on/off overcast but UV rays strong. So they accommodated indoors and was seated at the table next to service door. Saving grace is that the server was Friendly and food delicious. Ambience lacking because av system malfunctions
