    As usual, it was great fun to introduce new friends to this delightful experience. Menu is always creative with themed table settings to enjoy. Service this time was lagging a bit though. Waitress seemed new and distracted.

    My daughter and I enjoyed a wonderful holiday tea at Silver Fountain! The inn’s holiday decor was elegantly festive, the service attentive but not intrusive. And the meal! Everything from the chestnut soup through the eggnog gelato was scrumptious. I have enjoyed tea here many times, and it never disappoints.

    We love coming to the Silver Fountain inn for tea and eating the scrumptious food. You really need to go just to see the ornate moldings and wallpaper and to hear the history. There are so many different teas to try and the waitstaff was incredibly friendly. Our waitress is also one of the bakers and she told us how to make our own scones as moist and delicious as the ones we were served. It was a fun holiday treat in a lovely victorian inn and everyone there made our time special. We'll be back!
