The Christmas brunch with Santa was over priced for the food and our server never came to get our order until halfway into our meal after we ask another staff to get us something to drink. I would not recommend this place for Christmas brunch.

Wasn’t explained that you have to buy tickets to get into the park on open table. Paid for tickets and then showed up to have to pay more to enter.

I tried to call many times to cancel due to an emergency a few days before. The answering machine was full every time. My daughter her friend went instead. I am a member, they are not. They were required to buy tickets for the lights ($54) even though the weather didn't permit them to seer the lights. After paying for a drink also, it ended up being very expensive for them. They said the food was ok but not great.

The courses came out too rapidly one after another. One of our two appetizers came out so late that we had barely begun eating it when the first course (soups/salads) arrived. Then the entrees were brought out while we were only halfway through the first course. The feeling of being rushed, and the entrees getting cold while the previous course was being eaten, along with the tabletop becoming crowded with multiple plates, detracted considerably from what could have been a delightful experience if the timing had been appropriate. I hasten to add that the server was friendly and responsive; none of this was her fault.

This was an annual special event opportunity to dine in the tea house. The food was wonderful. Part of the treat of course is that it is held in the middle of Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden during their winter Gardenfest of Light. The gardens were beautiful to look out on while enjoying a wonderful meal. This is also a fundraiser for the gardens, which we love to visit.

3 course menu at Lewis ginter for the 12 days of dining was nice with great entrees to choose from. Dessert and appetizer were a little small but otherwise nice dinner and pretty to view the holiday lights while dining.
