Indulge in a delightful afternoon at Rowes Wharf Sea Grille, where the air is filled with the enticing aroma of herbal teas and the joyous sounds of laughter. Elevate your tea experience against the stunning backdrop of Boston Harbor, where each sip is a moment of pure bliss.

Our carefully curated tea selection mirrors the season, offering a spectrum from the bold Chai Imperial to the refreshing Green Tea Punch—our signature cocktail enhanced with Veuve Clicquot, honey, and lemon.

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

To preface, this is my third tea room that I have been to in Boston. I have been to Trifecta, the BPL, and also Jolie Tea Company in Salem, MA. From previewing pictures, I was not very impressed with the Rowes Wharf as the table setting and food looked a little lackluster compared to the other experiences I mentioned. However, now having been, I can absolutely understand why this is rated the best afternoon tea in the city- the food is DELICIOUS. I think my favorite out of all my tea experiences so far. Service was also very good and the noise level was very low when we went (2:30 on a Sunday). Ambiance was nice on the water and there is easy access outside to walk around after. I did think the tea selection was limited, however the server was excellent at describing each one and our entire party of 5 each liked our teas.

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.
