    I celebrated with my daughter today for her 21st birthday. This was her first time having a tea service and we both had a very good time. The service was great, food was good, we loved the room... it truly was a lovely experience. Thank you!

    Beautiful experience! Idyllic atmoshpere, exactly what you'd think a classic high tea would be. Great food, so many choices. Great prices as well.

    Lovely spot to meet up with friends for a cozy chat. Even in the winter months, this is a cozy place with good food and great service. The only drawback was the draft coming in when people did not shut the door behind them. Easy fix....

    Parking should be explained on the reservation. We paid for parking in the closest lot which had a locked gate stopping us from accessing the restaurant. Service was mediocre as we found ourselves looking for our waitress more than we should. It was also too bright and hot in there. The remote to the window shades was lost so we had to wear sunglasses and sweat. It was uncomfortable.

    A great experience! Great service and a super cute atmosphere. A little confusing on how to get to the tea house but just check in with the front desk upon arrival. Food was good - sweets were a little dry but overall good for pricing and unique experience.

    Afternoon Tea at RBG is a great option - and certainly worth a lengthy drive from London. The only criticism would be the amount of sugar in, and on the top of, the scones. The is far too sweet, especially when considering a topping of honey butter, a flavoured sweetened cream, and fruit jam. A plain scone would be far preferable - there’s no need to concoct an apricot/thyme or similar version.

    Beautiful little Teahouse. Very quaint and lovely. Had the “botanical tea” which was a good value. The food on each tier was hit and miss. The scones were very dry and tasteless. Disappointing compared to other tearooms we have been to. The “sweet” tier was disappointing too. Not much there.

    The instructions to park and get to the tea house are confusing. I almost walked down the long hiking trail with my toddler in a stroller in the freezing cold on ice and it didn't feel right so went back to the main RBG centre. Turns out there is an elevator and tunnel that takes you there. Much better experience to go this route with a stroller. The ambience and decor were amazing, very magical and we were seated right away as we had made reservations. They served our food right away as well as my toddler indicated be was very hungry. The food was good variety of selection. We got the main high tea set for me and a teddy bear set for my toddler. Variety of macarons, Madeleine, sandwiches, fruit. My toddler ate two Madeline's, some strawberries, a macaron and half a scone. Some of the food is a tid but dry but otherwise a really good experience.
