Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Ballard

We had a quiet Wednesday lunch here. What was good ... An intriguingly curated cocktail menu - we wanted to try them all! The best fries we have ever had - seriously! Worth the visit just to try them. My wife had an outstandingly good Wagyu beef burger. Service was excellent - Jorge is a star! Ambience - it's an airy open restaurant in the lodge and of course in a beautiful setting. What was moderate ... I had a a cauliflower steak with mushrooms and a cauliflower / mushroom puree. It was good, but just a little bland. I'd have liked a dash of something sharp / spicy to add some lift, but then I do like a kick in my lunch. Nevertheless it was good and nicely prepared and presented. And nothing bad at all. An excellent lunch and good value too. Definitely going again, but I may watch the menu for changes in the vegetarian option.

It’s always a great experience too eat at Queen Mary’s tea room. The food is superb and the atmosphere is very romantic, especially during the winter holiday season. It’s in an annual tradition for me and a few of my friends to go every winter. We all agreed that we will keep this tradition!

Had a wonderful day of tea with my best friend. Hopefully I can do it again soon

We went here for my mom's birthday and had a fantastic time! The tea selections were wonderful and I loved that there was an option to do tea lattes which I had never seen before. Our server was particularly wonderful. She was warm, knowledgeable, and made incredible drinks! Food was a great variety and every bite was delicious. The atmosphere and scenery were cute and very pleasant with lots of greenery. My only wish is that there were more bathrooms but that is out of their control. For a special occasion or really any day, high tea experience here is well worth it!

Fabulous! We love celebrating with a beautiful tea experience and this is by far our favorite place! Outstanding!
