    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!!

    This was a trip with my girlfriend and I to Boston for the New Years weekend. We had breakfast, lunch and dinner at various places. This place had an amazing Blue Cheese burger that was so delicious! They made some amazing smoked old-fashioned drinks as well! Definitely would go back when up in Boston!
