    Love this place! If you like the Victorian Era and a cup of tea! You will want to visit this Tea Parlor! I have visited several times and have never been disappointed! The themes are always entertaining! From Wizard of Oz, Harry Potter to Jane Auston!

    Silver Fountain Inn is such a great place to have high tea! This was my second visit and it was so enjoyable. The food is delicious and the tea selection is almost overwhelming. It's a lovely place to have tea with a friend.

    What a fabulous way to celebrate my 30th birthday! The assortment of fare I received with The Duchess service was impressive, and our server placed a candle in my petit four and led the entire room in "Happy Birthday." I'm looking forward to returning!

    Silver Fountain Tea Parlor is such a special place. My friends and I go for special“ get togethers”. The food is wonderful and different from an ordinary lunch. So, if you enjoy or would like to experience British teatime, it’s definitely the place to go! They often have monthly themes which make it even more fun and enjoyable! I highly recommend the Silver Fountain Tea Parlor.

    We love the Silver Fountain Tea Parlor. We mostly had the place to ourselves. Great job on the OZ theme! The food was delightful and the food was fantastic! Thank you for a wonderful experience today. We’ll see you next month!

    Going for the Wizard of Oz themed tea was a wonder. Everything was so well done, from the ambience, to the Wizard of Oz themed tea service itself. Highest recommendation, we go there once or twice a year.
