                          Silver dove is a stand out for high tea in Boston. I’ve been twice now and what would make it truly excellent would be stronger and hotter tea. The sweets on the menu right now were not the best.

                          Silver Dove was amazing. My friend is gluten free and s sometimes going to tea, the GF substitute is pretty mediocre. But everything is GF at Silver Dove and really delicious and amazing. The service was lovely and the ambiance was also great. Another table was celebrating and was a bit loud but when they left it was super peaceful. I absolutely recommend when visiting Boston whether you're GF or not!

                          Great experience, quiet atmosphere. Food was delicious and I loved my tea AND my Parakeet cocktail! It was a nice present to myself and I am thinking a nice gift in the future for a friend.

                          For two battle-fatigued parents looking for some adult time away from the kids, Silver Dove was exactly the reprieve we needed. As soon as we walked in, we appreciated the restaurant’s small, quiet, intimate vibe. This was matched by the rest of our experience. The staff was attentive, courteous, and kind. The drink menu was expansive, yet not overwhelming. The food was absolutely delicious, with a special shout-out to the coronation chicken and the prosciutto-wrapped dates. On our way out, we bought a gift card to share the Silver Dove with some family members. We can’t wait to hear about the experience, and we’re already eager for our next one, too.
