    This was my second time here and the food is delicious and the service is awesome. The only thing is I couldn’t get a reservation inside and I thought we were going to be on the enclosed patio next to the door, but we are in a tent like across the street, it was nice. It was just kind of weird. But I would still go back here again!

    Outstanding food and service! Ordered the miso cod, Chilean sea bass and Rendang short rib. Each dish was cooked perfectly and the flavors were spot on. The cocktails and deserts were incredible as well, especially the croissant waffle.

    We were seated in the “music room” which was decorated with some Baroque music instruments, quite lovely. My sister and I each ordered the set tea, it came with the infamous currant heart shaped scone, finger sandwiches, (egg salad, cucumber, caramelised onion tart, salmon mousse and something tastes like curry), dessert and your choice of tea selection. Mine came with the tomato bisque which was ordinary, it could be a tad bit creamier. The price for my tea set was $48.00. We always enjoyed our visit at The Tea House, but if I were asked what will be the best thing on the list then my answer would be “you must try the currant scone which comes with their crème fraîche and homemade preserves .” We always ordered a few to go!
