    Absolutely beautiful experience. We were seated in the yellow room, which had an absolutely beautiful atmosphere, it felt so light and open and welcoming. Staff was amazing. Our server Renee went above and beyond with gracious conversation and thoughtful recommendations. From when we walked in, to the time we exited the parking lot, our experience was beautiful. Keep in mind you do have to pay admission to dine at the tea room, but the service, food, and overall experience felt well-worth it. The food was AMAZING and our tea pots were refreshed consistently. Everyone we encountered as staff was extremely helpful in helping us navigate through the premises to get us to the tea room. The walk was absolutely beautiful and set the tone for our dining experience. 100/10

    Very cheep tiny sandwich and scones at high prices. Only one kind of tea per person allowed, so this isn’t a good value at all. It could be a good place for children to learn table manners but this isn’t happening. The ambiance is wonderful and so is the service. Overall it’s a fun novelty.

    Some of the foods aren’t great specially for that price point but it’s good for one time experience with the ambience.

    Our service was great, but the quality of the food was equivalent to what is premade in the airport. The scones tasted stale and the ingredients overall were very forgettable. I unfortunately would not go back.

    Everyone must order a tea option. Tea pots are small and they don’t stay hot but they will refill the water but not replace the tea. Make sure to ask for honey.
