Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in The Village

Lowell was great! The shrimp pasta was amazing and great cocktail list!

My elderly mother and adult daughter joined me for Tea Party. The location was lovely, couldn’t be more inviting. The ambience was pleasant and suitable for an afternoon tea. We enjoyed most of the food and the tea. The jasmine and chamomile were our favorites. We tried the hibiscus, but none of us thought it palatable. The edible tray was beautiful. Most of the bits were delightful. The steak on toast was very tough. The meat was cut with the grain and the bread was so tough I couldn’t actually get a bite! Other than that, the food was all one could expect. I did take issue with our server. She was quite dull, did not smile or act like she wanted to serve us. We had to ask to have our dishes cleared for the desserts as our tiny plates were filled with bits and pieces. The cost of the day was overpriced for the experience. We split one bottle of still water for $6 (we didn’t actually know water was not included). The $50 per person was excessive, but I think the experience, for one time only, was worth it. The digital communication from the event was frequent. It was unexpected that they would add the 20% gratuity on a table for three. She did not earn that. Overall, for a one-time event, it was good.

Great place for a date. Service was incredible! David the bartender was amazing!
