I am not allergic, so I asked for my side to contain dairy. The waitress brought the tiered plates and said, "Just a minute. Let me check that you have the correct side." She moved the plates around a bit and then said we were all set. Even with all of this, my daughter ended up with the dairy side. After she ate the food and began to feel ill, the waitress came back and said, "Oh you ate the side with dairy." She didn't seem to think it was a big deal. She just said, "Let me get your bill." I spoke to the lady at the door and told her the situation, saying I did not feel like I should have to pay the entire amount as neither of us got the food we were supposed to get. She said, "Let me see what I can do." She never came back to talk to me. The bill was cut in half. My daughter is also allergic to caffeine. The waitress did not know that "decafe" and "caffeine free" are two different things and that "decafe" does indeed have caffeine. My daughter was sick for an entire day of our vacation. This establishment really needs to be more careful with allergies. Thankfully my daugher's dairy allergy is not life threatening and she knew not to order decafe. But what if that were not the case?

With the rave reviews from the family I will make sure this is an experience they can partake in again in the future. I may join them or just the wife myself, although they told me this is more for the ladies and only a couple of men were present during their two hour leisurely visit (service was not slow, they just enjoyed the setting that much). They have an attached gift shop which they raved about too, and of course returned with a few items. Thank you for providing a wonderful experience, of which I got to live vicariously through.

This is a older house. Beautiful house. The first floor is where all the action happens. There are…read more2 main tea rooms. One is on the left side of the house. It's a private room that probably seats 6 people or 8. The other room has one large and 3 smaller tables. The sitting areas are all so beautifully decorated. The theme of the tea party is victorian with a touch of southern charm. There is also a large room that is a gift shop. There is a Christmas theme through out the gift shop. Onto the main reason I was there! Afternoon Tea. I had hot strawberry tea. I loved it! It wasn't light either. It was brewed the way I like. Thankfully, this is a proper tea room which had sugar cubes! The tea tray was brought out and it was decorated perfectly. The bottom plate had 2 different types of scones: strawberry with a strawberry sauce and buttermilk. Lemon curd and clotted cream are also served. The scones were more like biscuits. I think they were both buttermilk and the strawberry one just had a strawberry glaze. Both tasted very much like good buttery biscuits.... Not so scone-like to me. Second plate: tea sandwiches: popular cream cucumber sandwich, half croissants of egg and/or tuna, and pin wheel meat sandwiches. Everything is one per person. Except for the scones, 2 for each. Third and top layer is the dessert plate: 3 desserts per persons: a strawberry shortcake, a chocolate brownie, and a red valet short cake. They were ok. Ah. Unlimited tea! Each person can a pick different tea. Unlike some tea room that only allows 1 or 2 pots per table. Although, we weren't given a tea menu. We were given two tea options. The owners are very sweet. It's so obvious that they love what they are doing. They are ready to retire and would love to sell this building as a tea room business. It seems like they have potential buyers that are more interested in demolishing it. What a shame! They are hopeful that they can find a buyer who appreciates tea and continues the tea room. Overall, this place is beautiful in and out. However, the only item that stood out was the egg salad and the tuna salad croissants, tea, and cucumber sandwich. The clotted cream was unimpressive. 3.5... Rounding up to 4/5. I like how they change up their menu throughout the year. Give this a try. It's not my first choice but it's definitely my second. I would hate to see this place close! Tear... Afternoon tea music playing. I love sipping on tea and chatting away for hours. I will finish by asking the ladies: if you are visiting a tea room, for goodness sake... Do not wear jeans!!! Drop those denim..!!!!!

Fantastic afternoon tea! We enjoyed the high tea which comes with a cup of soup. The soup choices…read moretoday were pumpkin/butternut squash and broccoli cheese. The pumpkin soup was savory and had lots of flavor. My friend thoroughly enjoyed the broccoli cheese soup. We had white chocolate raspberry scones with, homemade Devanshire cream. Only complaint is that I would like to have my own individual cream. I have to say the scones were great, flavorful and warm. I am more into savory food on an afternoon tea. The sandwiches had a great variety and were elevated. For example, the cucumber dill sandwich had cream cheese that had been seasoned and was piped onto the bread. A warm savory muffin was provided, which had a lot of flavor. Chicken salad was served on a pastry cup. The variety of sandwiches was really great. Now let's talk about tea. They have an extensive selection of teas. They also know how to properly brew the tea for the right amount of time for each type of tea. I had the cochin chai which was steeped perfectly and had a good amount of spice. My friend had tea that had chocolate/carmel (chocolate iguana), flavor, it was perfect with the desserts. The hostess was very attentive. Made sure that we had time to talk, but also kept checking to make sure we had everything we needed. Great hostess. This afternoon tea was about an hour drive from our homes, but it was so worth it. We enjoyed the ambience and decorations. They were playing classical Christmas music, which was nice.

While visiting a friend in Inverness, we decided to explore The Tilted Teacup. High tea is a small…read morepassion of ours, and over the years we have experienced many tea rooms across the country and abroad, so we arrived curious and ready to be charmed. The tea room itself is a beautiful, eclectic house. Spacious yet cozy, decorated in a delightful hodgepodge of styles that somehow comes together harmoniously. It feels whimsical without tipping into chaos. The kind of place where teacups don't match, and that is precisely the point. Making reservations was pleasantly easy. I emailed on a Sunday for a Wednesday seating and received confirmation by Monday. I was mildly surprised they did not require a credit card deposit, something many tea rooms now request given the labor-intensive preparation and delicate perishables involved. Their trust in the process is refreshing. Upon arrival we were warmly greeted and promptly seated. Amiee, the owner and our server, was friendly and engaging, walking us through the tea selections, the promise of unlimited pots, and explaining the offerings that would arrive throughout the experience. We ended up trying five different teas, each pot a small surprise thanks to Amiee's suggestions. I cannot remember all the names, but I can happily say we liked every one of them. One in particular tasted remarkably like banana bread in a cup. Warm, aromatic, perfectly balanced, and thankfully not overly sweet. We were also delighted by the Peach Apricot, bright and cheerful, and really enjoyed the Pomegranate Vanilla Lemur, which had a lovely layered flavor. We began with a creamy mushroom soup, rich and comforting. The scone, served before the tiered tray, was warm, buttery, and quite good, though notably without the traditional Devonshire or clotted cream. Still, it stood proudly on its own. The finger sandwiches were fresh and thoughtfully varied. The bread did not appear homemade, but the selections complemented each filling nicely and everything tasted fresh. The cheese muffin was flavorful, though we both mused that two smaller ones with a slightly moister crumb might have been even better. The sweet tier was satisfying overall. I was initially skeptical about the bread pudding, but the mini chocolate tart and a delicate lemon tart on filo more than made up for it. One of the highlights of the afternoon was chatting with Amiee about the journey of the tea room through the years, including the challenges of navigating the Covid era. I am always impressed by those who pursue a vision in the food industry. It is a difficult road, and places like this exist because of persistence, courage, and a genuine love of hospitality. Another pleasant surprise was the pricing, which is remarkably reasonable compared with the often lofty cost of afternoon tea elsewhere. All in all, The Tilted Teacup offers a warm, charming, and thoughtful tea experience. My friend and I left very pleased, well fed, and with the comforting sense that we had spent the afternoon exactly as it should be spent: with good tea, good conversation, and a table full of small delights. I happily recommend it.

If you're looking for somewhere to take your younger daughter for a cute tea-party experience, though, I'd probably look elsewhere. I recently went for afternoon tea to celebrate a friend's birthday. For a little over $50 per person, including tip, you get your own pot of tea, a sandwich and a half, a small salad, and quite a few scones and sweets. The food was okay, but for me, the experience was definitely more of the draw than the food itself. I'm not a huge fan of mayonnaise-based sandwiches (and I'm also not a big cucumber fan), and the majority of the savory options were variations of chicken salad, egg salad, and other mayo-based sandwiches. They also had nut butter/peanut butter sandwiches, different hummus sandwiches, and a cucumber and cream cheese sandwich. If you love those types of finger sandwiches, you'll probably really enjoy the food selection. For me, though, $50+ felt a little steep if I were going primarily for the food. I actually visited years ago with my daughter when she was around 4 or 5 and quickly realized it wasn't quite the mom-and-daughter tea-party experience I had envisioned. Coming back this time with friends, however, was a completely different experience, and we had a really fun afternoon together. They've also done a TON of renovations since my first visit, and the interior is really pretty and makes the whole experience feel special. Overall, I'd say this is much more about the experience and atmosphere than the food. If you're looking for a fun, girly afternoon with friends and enjoy tea, scones, sweets, and getting dressed up a little, it's worth checking out!

As a former corporate pastry chef for Hyatt Hotels for almost22 years and the owner of my own…read morefamily bakery and restaurant for 17 years, I know how hard this business is, and I rarely leave negative reviews. The disappointment began before we even walked through the front door. The entire entrance looked more like a junkyard than a tea room: oversized plastic chess pieces, random wood on the wall where a sign had been removed, dark staining that looked neglected, broken flower pots, old rusted garden furniture. My wife and I almost turned around. Had we been paying that day, we likely would have left. But we had a gift certificate, so we gave it a chance. What concerned me even more was the safety. The steps were in poor condition, and the handrail was extremely loose, moving several inches side to side. As someone with a disability, that felt unsafe. Accessibility should be basic. Inside, the owner and our server were kind and welcoming, and I genuinely appreciated that. But both teapots had been placed on the table before we were seated, and my tea was already cold. I had to ask for hot water just to have a proper cup, which I wouldn't expect from an afternoon tea. The biggest disappointment was the food. At forty five dollars per person, ninety for two, I expected quality and attention to detail. Instead, the sandwiches and pastries were among the poorest I've ever been served. I could only manage a couple of small sandwiches and one dessert before giving up. What surprised me most after our visit was reading the five-star reviews. Based on our experience, it is difficult for me to understand how this place earns that level of praise. I hope this is taken as constructive criticism. The staff was kind, but kindness can't overcome serious maintenance and quality issues. Sadly, I can't recommend it in its current state Update Thank you for responding We were celebrating my wife and I our retirement and chose not to create an awkward moment.

Kathryn is the heart and soul of this fairy-tale haven, a living embodiment of the kindness and beauty that fills every corner of her restaurant. Her presence is like a gentle breeze, warm and soothing, making everyone who walks through the door feel instantly at home. Her generosity is evident not just in the thoughtful touches that make each visit special--like the fresh flowers that greet you at every table or the extra care taken to ensure each dish is perfect--but in the way she treats each guest like an old friend.
