    The ambience was perfect. It was a traditional tea. We sat and conversed for more than a couple of hours. Nobody made us feel that it was time to leave. Loved the service and hospitality

    The Huntington Tea Room provided an ideal place for my work colleague and friend to celebrate our retirement from teaching. My chocolate tea was nummy. We enjoyed our lobster rolls and our entire tea offerings. I’ll be back!

    The food and tea weee very good. We really enjoyed it. We cannot finish everything, so half of food were packed. We were there on Sunday afternoon. There were several empty tables, even though you cannotmake reservations online. I guess walk-in might be available.

    Service was excellent! Food choices were more elaborate than expected with such offerings as lamb sandwiches and smoked salmon with caviar; Goat cheese and marmalade tarts, along with minced beet sandwiches. Not a deviled egg, chicken salad or watercress sandwich in sight. I would have preferred simpler fare. It was beautifully presented and we did not feel rushed in the least. Not your old fashioned Victorian setting, but a very modern approach.
