    My cousin and I loved our visit! We had a lovely view of the Potomac river. The inside was absolutely lovely and decorated well. The tea and food was excellent.

    We had a great time. All of the food, including the sandwiches, pastries, and pie were delicious. We tried four different teas and enjoyed them all. The service was great and quick, and the atmosphere was very nice.

    It was an average high tea experience. The place is cute. The food was mediocre. My scones were burnt. I would not go back again.

    We loved everything except our server was not very warm. We felt we were making her impatient.

    It is a lovely tea experience. The food and the service were stellar. One observation was that the lights are too bright and take away from the ambience. It is an expensive outing but wonder for a special occasion. Don’t miss the Poinsettia Mimosa and spinach- mushroom soufflé!

    This was an all-around lovely experience. We were able to linger at the restaurant on a weekday, and thoroughly enjoyed full tea with sandwiches, scones, and sweets. Excellent tea selection and wonderful scones and accompaniments. Service is attentive. Favorite sandwich was chicken salad, favorite desserts were crème brûlée and macarons. I believe many of the pastries are purchased (vs made from scratch) but narrowed the favorite selections after a previous visit.

    The service was not as good as it usually is, but I believe the server may have been new. She was very flustered. The kids’ menu is expensive for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

    Parking was a little bit of a pain and expensive. Space is super cute but small where the waitresses had a hard time serving our table. We had to do a lot of handing over and passing down. But all in all the food was good, plentiful and really pretty. Table setting was cute too. Server was very nice and the price is good compared to iotber high tea venues. I would recommend.

    Not much ambiance. Overpriced. Didn’t care for menu selection. Tea wasn’t strong enough. Overpriced.
