| - I made reservations in advance for a party of 5 and I am glad I did because this place was pretty busy on a Saturday at 1pm. The tea parlor is located around the Burton square in a beautiful green Victorian mansion. Inside is just as lovely with its decor and you can tell there is a lot of attention paid to detail.
We all got our own little pot of tea, some dined on finger sandwiches with a cup of soup, others had crust less quiche with a side salad, and most of us tried the scones of the day with cream and jam. Here are my details:
*Savory Sampler $12.95 - You get a choice of soup or salad and the soup comes out in a small clear tea cup. I had tomato bisque and it was pretty good. For the main bit you get four finger sandwiches with some fruit. It's a light meal so don't expect to leave full unless you order something else to go along with it.
*Scones and Cream $4.95 - Two small scones with devonshire cream and jam. A-okay.
*Pot of Tea $4.95 - I got the raspberry tea and had no complaints.
I think we all enjoyed our elegant little meals, and of course the pleasant company of each other. With tax and 20% gratuity automatically added, my bill was just shy of $30. So not a cheap experience, but fancy tea time with friends is still a lovely time especially if you dress up and wear hats.
However, while good, I would not rate this place five stars though. Half a dozen things we requested they were out of which started to move past disappointing and into tiresome. Also, while our server was polite, he was not fully on top of his game. He had to go back to the kitchen a couple of times to find out what was in things like the crepe of the day, or what else they were out of, and he never brought out our sides so we sat for a really long time waiting with just tea when we should have been enjoying soup and salad before the entrée arrived. I will say that it was nice of one of the owners, Annette, to stop by and see how we were doing.
If you live around the Burton area or if you don't mind a long car ride, I recommend checking this tea parlor out. A cute place for a little girl's birthday party, some father daughter time, or just a ladies lunch. Be prepared to spend a couple hours here and don't come hungry. Maybe making a day out of your visit to Burton and checking out other attractions in the area would make the longer trip here even more worthwhile (it was an hour drive for me from Rocky River).
