    Authentic English Afternoon Tea steps away from the Freedom Trail. Outstanding selection of teas and tasty treats. All gluten free too which was a particularly exciting extra. Our multigenerational group had a fabulous time, appropriately capping off a Christmas treat to see the The Nutcracker

    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!

    The service was thoughtful and attentive without being intrusive, and the wine recommendation was spot on. We ordered oysters—I like them briny and bare—but the cucumber foam on these sweet things was revelatory, very good. We shared the tart, which was fine, but the layers could have been more distinct or more flavorful or something. Squid was great with the two textures. And we shared the fish head, which was fun and delicious. Great sauce with it.

    This was a part of birthday week for me 😉 we were on our way to the theatre so didn’t want to be caught up in the prolonged prix fixe dinner upstairs (and frankly at our age we just can’t eat that much at once!!) our waiter Tim was a delight and we had some fun and meaningful convos with him. He was very helpful when we were choosing between drinks (amazing) and small plates (inventive). Each was seasoned to perfection and had a bit of kick and creative flavoring (always in the best way possible). Tim also noticed it was my birthday and when we didn’t care for a sweet (savory person here! 😆) he offered a Peruvian pisco liqueur that we both enjoyed. We also liked the playlist. Festive and charming place! We’ll be back and will recommend. 👍🏽
