Each sip is a celebration of flavors dancing on your palate.

I love high tea! It is one of my favorite splurges! BHH is my favorite in Boston! They do a beautiful job. We actually took a goodie box home, we couldn’t finish all of the treats. Additionally, the people who work there are professional and kind and make you feel like you are the only person on the room! I highly recommend this high tea experience!

Very nice high tea experience. Only negative is you could tell some of the sandwiches were made earlier in the day and bread was becoming stale from sitting in the cooler. Desserts and service were great.

Everything was perfect!!! Starting with rose petals on the table and a very attentive waiter- we were pampered with many courses of fabulous stones, tea sandwiches, and desserts! We even had “ freshly fallen snow” outside! Perfect!!! It’s on the pricy side- but worth every penny. Such a special time with my daughter and my 2 grand children- who loved everything! Thank you for a wonderful memory!

The experience was fine but not worth returning. The tea sandwiches were standard though the bread tasted a bit stale honestly. A few of the mini desserts were delicious. A few were just misses. Overall, overpriced at $85 per person given that it’s the equivalent of one full-sized sandwich and a dessert and tea. The scones were not very authentic. Also, we arrived early and asked if we could be seated 15 min before our reservation. The hostess didn’t crack a smile or even pretend to be pleasant and wouldn’t even entertain the idea of seating us early- which was odd given how empty the restaurant was the entire time. So we waited in the lobby while the empty tables just sat unoccupied. Odd.
