    A friend and I went to the Tea Room to celebrate her birthday and enjoy the day touring the exhibits and grounds. We were seated outside (our preference) by the herb garden. The weather was perfect for sitting outside enjoying the beauty of the garden and food! Speaking of food (and tea, of course), it was all perfect and simply delicious! We added a refreshing hibiscus sangria and cheese board to the delectable fare of scones, sandwiches, and mini pastries. Mmmm! It seems hard to believe that you can get full from food served from delicate tiers of china , but we were absolutely busting at the seams and didn’t even finish everything. The slice of chocolate with the Huntington bonbon they brought in celebration of my friend’s birthday was the frosting the cake (excuse the pun) on an already delightful tea time meal. And we simply cannot say enough about our server, Tatyana. She was friendly, attentive and just lovely as she kindly explained our choices and laughed along with us as my friend and I oohed and aahed our way through tea time. Thank you Tatyana!!! Needless to say, (but I shall say it anyway), our experience at the Huntington Rose Garden Tea Room was absolutely lovely!

    We had a wonderful experience at the Tea Room. The service was impecable and the outdoor area is beautiful. My son and I are both gluten free and loved the gluten free assortment available on the menu. Will definitely try again!

    Had the best time here. I wasn’t expecting the tea room to be so far from the entrance. So make sure to be on the grounds at least 30 minutes early. We still got to our table and they were so amazing to my mom. We went for her birthday. Definitely want to do this again soon!

    During our entire lunch there was a 3 year old daughter screaming and running around the restaurant with parents paying no attention and in fact in encouraging her. This was during our entire lunch. Nothing was being done to stop this disruptive behavior.
