The inside space is TINY, so keep that in mind if you hope to visit on a cold or inclimate day. They do have outdoor seating available (and it is beautiful way to experience your meal surrounded by the beauty of the Frick site) You order inside and they have a nice selection of things like scones, sandwiches, salads and a fun variety of cocktails and mocktails. They food is made with quality ingredients and is very tasty. The staff work quickly to get your food ordered and meals prepped. Even when they are busy they still seem to move things along efficiently. It is probably the best museum cafe we have in Pittsburgh. The one downside is that is is expensive for what you get.

The first time, great food, quick service and an enjoyable atmosphere. The second time was six weeks later and when I say it was awful it was. My friend, daughter and I walked in for a quick lunch before heading to the museum and waited in line for 10 minutes before being told that the kitchen was overwhelmed and they were not serving for the next half hour. We toured the museum while waiting and were astonished at how underwhelming the free exhibit is. We live in the Cleveland area and the free collection at the Cleveland Museum of Art is amazing and thought every art museum was the same. It's not. We headed back to the cafe where we proceeded to wait over an hour for three scones, two pots of tea, a turkey sandwich and a bowl of soup. Truly a three year old could have made a better sandwich. The soup looked and tasted like it had been run through the garbage disposal first. The tea when we had service, was cool not hot. Truly a disappointment.

I made a reservation for the High Tea for my husband and me. An employee promptly seated us. I felt disappointed that this tea room gave us plain white teapots without loose-leaf teas and that they did courses rather than use a three-tier stand of foods, but we did have some choice in the teas and foods, and they did taste very good. The High Tea consists of the following: pots of hot water with a large selection of tea bags, choice of cold drinks, scone with devonshire, choice of soup, salad, three sandwiches, and choice of three desserts. For drinks, we chose four teas--cinnamon plum, peach and passionfruit, English breakfast, and salted caramel--not just two teas like at other tea rooms. We received colds teas, peach and sweet, included in the price. For foods, we chose two scones, M&M and one other that I forget. We chose two soups, which were chicken noodle and cheesy potato. The salad contained greens, cheeses, peanuts, cranberries, and raspberry dressing. The three sandwiches were cucumber, tomato-bacon-basil, and my favorite of chicken salad. For desserts, we chose lemon cake, carrot-cake cupcake, pineapple cake (?), cheesecake, brownie, and my favorite of cherry-chocolate ice cream. I appreciated having a cold dessert in the middle of the hot summer, and it was one of the best ice creams that I have ever tasted. The employees' service was mostly good. However, I had asked them in my reservation if I could film a video of my meal, and they said yes. But then an employee got an impatient tone of voice when I was still filming my food and they were bringing out the next course. On social media, my video got over *27 times* the views that their compensated influencer had gotten months earlier!

The front has some wicker chairs and tables which are very small. As you move toward the back there are small sitting rooms where you take off your shoes and sit on a padded "floor". The back has some more chairs and tables. Outlets are hard to find. You most likely will share a sitting area as well. One note is, I think they have a wifi limit where only a certain number of people can connect. I tried all night to get a connection and could not for any of my devices, nor could my friend. Overall the ambiance is catered toward chatting rather than studying as the tables are very small and slow or no wifi. I like the night vibes it has though, we need more late night 3rd spaces like this one!! I got a hummus plate and ginger tea. The ginger tea was just okay. The ginger was overpowering in not a good way. It highlighted the spiciness of ginger without letting any type of "tea flavor" through. It tasted more like ginger water. For a tea house, I thought it would have more depth. The hummus platter was very yummy! The pita was warm and the olive oil on the hummus added a nice touch to it. I think I would have enjoyed the experience more had the tables not been as wobbly, the WiFi worked at any point, the tea had a bit more nuance to it, and the cloying smell wasn't there. It is a very good chatting spot for late night meetings ups with great food!

The drive, the wait and all is a small investment for a big payoff. My daughter has been here before and wanted to treat us to this special "Royal Tea" and it is really, really special indeed. The property and exterior of the home has been meticulous done with great attention to detail and that seriously carries over into everything that you encounter here. There a duck fountain and gargoyle street lamp just outside the entrance bit couldn't prepare me for the eloquently adorned and truly "unique" rxpansive interior that is practically museum quality furnishings and decorations everywhere. First of all we were escorted to out very pretty round table adorned with beiatifil fresh flowers, silver and individually unique tea cups. We were shown a large 6' cabinet filled with small canisters of various teas. We're given hints and ideas then told we can open & smell them to settle in the two teas we'd like to have for our afternoon tea. Our table already had 4 setups with lemon water in antique looking glasses. We chose two teas that came out in large ornate ceramic pots and our hostess poured each of us our first cups then placed the on gold heaters. The sweetener available was cubed of cane sugar that melted instantly in the piping hottea, both delicious. Next out come two identical three level towers of total goodness that has two of each of the selections. On the bottom is warm delightful quiche, a pastry sandwich that is made with file pastry, pear & fig plus a chicken salad filled croissant. Next level has a heavenly pumpkin pudding, chocolate covered strawberry, a frosted confection topped with a rose hip and a super rich frosted cookie and the top tier has a large delicious scone with a glass of crème fraîche that is light & a perfect topping and a small bunch of confection dusted grapes. OMG, everything was absolutely mouth watering and delicious from the first to last bites and of course the tea was the perfect pairing (we got two more pots of tea). We rang the ornate little bell on the table and our hostess appeared right away and brought us refills on our waters. There were older couples, young mothers with their daughters and a couple small groups of ladies that made up an eclectic mix of other lucky people enjoying this special tea room. Bottom line: While I uploaded a lot of gorgeous pictures, trust me, it is even better than it looks. This is a really unique and special experience with delicious Michelin Star restaurant quality food, stunning surroundings & of course excellent yea. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Thank you Catherine O.

They ordered the Chicken Panini sandwich and the Challah French Toast. My scrambled eggs weren't scrambled and weren't good. See attached picture - it's the sorriest looking 'scrambled eggs' I've ever seen. I worked as a short order cook in college ('71-77) and mastered the 'art of cooking eggs'. I offered to show them how to make scrambled....they laughed. My side order of potatoes weren't much better. Overly seasoned with this onion salt that made them somewhat unpalatable. Well, my relatives fared better than I did! The Chicken Panini sandwich was tasty - the chicken was tender and the Gouda cheese made it very tasty. The Classic French Toast, with strawberries was also delicious - slightly crispy exterior and a light and fluffy interior! While my breakfast was, unfortunately, not very good, theirs was.

Giving the restaurant a call to place an order seems like a better option than ordering online, just based on the differences between their published menu and online ordering site. I didn't spend long inside, but the space seemed inviting and clean. In terms of the food, I was generally happy. We were aiming for relatively easy going brunch food, and they delivered. The house salad was pretty good, though the avocado seemed unnecessary and the goat cheese was a little intense. More cheese than necessary. The veggie omelette was exceptional. Exactly what we were aiming for. The crepes were an interesting option, and the actual crepe portion was well done. The fillings were somewhat restrained, but that's probably intentional. Pairing a salad with the crepe seemed like the right move. All told, this was a good experience. The food was nicely presented. The vegetables were generally fresh. A much better experience than I anticipated going in.
