My 3rd time here. Absolutely love it. The atmosphere, friendly staff, and food is amazing!! It’s a little pricey but is so worth it! There’s 2 shops associated with the restaurant. One is attached (crafts, nicknacks,etc.) and the other 1/2 a block down street (clothing-jewelry like boutique). Makes a perfect day with family and friends! Great meal, conversation and shopping. Reservation is the best way to assure your table. They actually have a cancellation list.

Great place for a special occasion! I see people wear sundresses and fascinator hats for afternoon tea. Food comes out in three tiers. Soup/salad, sandwich, and dessert. The food is absolutely delicious. Lots of tea options. They make homemade butter. Ours was strawberry. The restaurant is connected to a store that you have to walk through to get to the tea room. The waitress we had was so nice! Had a great time and can't wait to go back!
