   INCREDIBLE experience and definitely a hidden gem. I’ve been talking about our experience with friends and family and so many don’t even know Oak & Rose Tea Room exists (still so new so understandable!). The BEST service. From the greeting, the attention, explanation of all the delicious tea sandwiches, breads and pastries, the decor, the view, the special attention for my daughter’s birthday… we didn’t want to leave!!! It’s about time a high tea place opened by us. Baby showers, bridal showers, birthdays, holidays, Mother’s Day, or maybe you just need something special because it’s “been a week”. I cannot recommend enough!!!

   We had a great time at the Tea room. I can’t think of one thing they need to improve! Food and beverages are delicious and bountiful, service wonderful, great light and airy dining room, and awesome ambience,… we liked it so much that we’ve decided to book the venue for my daughter’s bridal shower.

   This place was absolutely amazing! Everything was so beautifully decorated, the presentation of the tea and the food was point on, and the staff was fabulous. We can't wait to bring our daughters next time!

   From the delicious food to the great view of the Fox River, the Oak + Tea Room is a perfect place for afternoon tea. Menus will change seasonally which one will want to return and experience again.

   Beautiful ambience and excellent waitstaff. Owner came by several times to check on us which was a nice touch. Food was delicious and a nice assortment of sweet and savories. Quite a selection of teas too! Highly recommend.

   Lovely experience. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. They asked if we were celebrating anything special and then brought out a slice of birthday cake

    Oak & Rose Tea Room is a charming business in Geneva, IL overlooking the Fox River. The whole experience from start to finish was excellent. You book your reservations online and prepay which I appreciate so your not having to deal with 'details' the day of your tea. You just show up and enjoy the 2 hr. Tea service. Ambiance & decor is modern and classic. Lovely music greets you and a wall to take pics to mark the occasion. Service was excellent very friendly staff and the owner went around to tables to greet customers and later to make sure everything was going well. The food....I don't know where to start. The chef had a lovely menu. My favorite was a sour cherry & brie bite. The chicken salad on crossiant was stuffed generously and should be on the menu year round. The unexpected surprise was the roast beef with caramelized onion jam, gouda, peppercorn, horseradish aioli on pumpernickel delicious! The desserts were so fresh and such a variety. Our table loved the lemon tart and blueberry bundt cake along with the raspberry gelatin bites. The selection of tea was great and you were able to sample more than one. Overall we had a lovely afternoon and were actually full before we could finish everything so we were able to bring a few items home. We always leave a tea still feeling hungry but not at Oak & Rose. We took home the mini chocolate lava cakes and warmed them up & added ice cream for a decadent treat all on it's own. Two Bridgerton thumbs up for Oak & Rose...it's definitely worth the money.
