    The experience including food, tea selection, and service for what it costs is phenomenal! They accommodated my allergies while making sure I'm not missed out on any deliciousness, my only thing is that I think the desserts are a bit too sweet for my asian palate liking, but pair them with tea (don't put sugar) it's perfect. For all the food being gluten free at default, their scone is surprisingly amazing, warm scone are served at the beginning makes the food scene seem less mass produced in comparison to some other afternoon tea spot in Boston. The egg sandwich tasted a bit too mustardy for my liking but in general still very delicious. Their genmaicha eclair is chef kiss! In general, highly highly recommend Silver Dove! I will return for sure! All the staffs are very kind and friendly too!!

    Random post workout pick on Christmas Day. Lucked out with a reservation as they have limited seating (49 seats) and are typically quite busy. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating and all work together to make sure you’re well taken care of. The food was exceptional (we definitely over ordered but there were so many exciting options), service was excellent, and the prices were very fair for the portions. I’d recommend ordering lots of options and sharing - take home the leftovers!
