    Our first visit and had a very nice Valentine’s dinner. Great service, delicious food, excellent wine pairing, and valet parking was cherry on top. Loved the atmosphere, highly recommend for a romantic night out, we’ll be back again for sure!!👍 We really appreciated every effort the staff put in to make our night special.

    We were there to celebrate my Mother’s 92nd birthday (info included on reservation). No acknowledgment of any sort that it was her birthday. Very noisy environment with a wedding shower group, in the same room, who were extremely loud and disrupting. Tea was good and hot. However the food was not great. Very disappointing. Sandwiches were on stale bread. Salmon salad ones cause GI upset for two who ate it. Sweets were not fresh or tasty for the most part. I’ve been to many high teas. This one ranks poorly. A 20% gratuity was automatically added with a space for extra on the final bill. It was not worth the cost. I think they could turn this into something special with a little more work and better food.

    We had a so so experience at this event, our service was good, but the food was okay, there were supposed to be cucumber sandwiches but instead they were subed for chicken salad sandwiches which were super salty. The cheese only ones were salty also. The only ones that were were decent were the salmon ones. The other items were okay, there were variety of macaronos and dessert items. It was also super loud in the restaurant. Also I was not aware of auto gratuity of 20%. I had added a tip already and then realized there was already gratuity added. This place is cute but our visit was a bit off. Not sure we will be back for tea service again.

    I met up with friends for a long lunch. The staff was friendly and accommodating. There was no pressure to turn the table in their beautiful indoor dining room. I loved my salmon Caesar. I also recommend their cozy Parlor Bar!

    Came here for afternoon tea with my mother in law, sister in law and my mom. It was a great experience. You get 1 tower between 2 people and it comes with petite fours, fresh fruit, scones and biscuits and finger sandwiches. You each get 2 pots of teas as well. It was so much food we took half of it home. Every single thing was amazing and fresh. Loved the chocolate chip scones and the pimento and cheese sandwiches the best!

    The only that I’d change is there were a lot of surprise fees on the bill, like the preparation fee. I thought the listed high tea price was low compared to other establishments, but the hidden fees made it equal to other places.
    Goodall's KitchenResponded on 3 December 2024
