    Waiter was top notch! Left my wallet there and didn't even realize it. He called me to inform me.

    I enjoyed the food but it wasn’t very much overall for the amount paid for. The table was very small and didn’t give us a lot of room for everything.

    I was a little bit disappointed in this experience being there for the first time. It appeared that there was only one person waiting tables & so it took quite a while to get tea & food. The food was so so & maybe it was because I just ordered a sandwich & soup. I think if I went back I would get the tea service with small sandwiches & other items. The decor was pretty but seemed a little plain & all white. Not sure if I will be back.

    We are the Chief John Ross DAR book club and meet the 3rd Monday of each month. The food is great and noise level fine. Great place to hold our meeting.

    What an absolutely lovely tea/luncheon we had celebrating my mother's 90th birthday! Delicious food, perfect service by very friendly attentive server, and wonderful chat with the manager. We also always enjoy supporting a business with a mission, theirs helping women and children with specific and often emergency needs. I will look forward to going back there!

    Our server must have been new or something he wasn’t able to speak about the menu much when we asked questions. We were sharing two different samplers and had to ask for small plates to eat from. But this was all more the experience and the environment which is spot on. The food, once we received it over 25 mins apart from one another was good. He did apologize for the delay. All and all we would try it again. .
