    This is one of those places where the food is better than need needs to be since it has a lovely view. Service was a little rocky since it was the first night of patio service and we were eating indoors. The food is really impressive.

    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.
