I was very disappointed. I’ve eaten there twice before without no issues. This time I requested no salmon since one the the savory dishes being served was a salmon mousse. It was replaced with a very cheap ham lunch meat and fig jam finger sandwich. There was already a fig jam and goat cheese finger sandwich being served. They should have made the effort to replace the salmon dish with one of equal quality and not just some slapped together lunch meat. I was made to feel as if they didn’t care. I paid well over $100 for our high tea and left feeling cheated.

Lunch is always fun at Queen’s Cuisine. The food is top notch with several great selections. I chose ‘a taste of everything’. Soup, quiche, salad, 1/2 chicken salad sandwich on a croissant. All delicious. Raisin scone with clotted cream and lemon curd. Perfection. Oh, and a cup of Earl Grey. Our server was efficient but a flat affect. Not very welcoming. Maybe just having a bad day. Overall a great lunch with friends.

I ordered “A Bit of Everything “. I especially enjoyed the salad. I rated the food at a “4” only because my soup & quiche were lukewarm. Everything was flavorful. Even when all the tables were occupied, we were able to hear each other with no problem. I definitely look forward to visiting again.

I made reservations for my friend birthday after researching tea rooms The scenery was nice the front of the building could’ve been a little nicer there was a few weeds growing around the walk way onto the porch . Upon entry I did notice some scones sitting in a chair inside some Tupperware not sure why .The food was good after sending it back because the middle of our sausage roll was ice cold I think they made everything the day before and just heated it up the waiter made sure to make another sausage roll and boy was it hot . The quiche Lorraine was good and the scones were superb I liked the mixed berry tea soda a lot I would visit again I give this establishment a 3 out of 5 stars
Queen's CuisineResponded on October 12, 2020
The scones you mentioned are what we use for display only. As the indoor dining has been closed for some weeks (due to state mandate/COVID) we had put them to one side. I'm sorry your sausage roll was not heated thoroughly. I'm pleased to hear that you enjoyed your quiche and scones etc. Thank you for bringing your friend to our tea room and for this feedback.

With COVID restrictions, we were very pleased with what we came for. Great food and desserts. We were seated on the front porch which is right on Main Street. Lots of noon traffic which Is why I ranked the noise level high. The crust on my quiche was perfect! Often I leave that on my plate. The choices of tea are outstanding. Even if I have to do carry out since outside seating is limited, I will be back!

We enjoyed the traditional English tea which included 3 small plates of goodies tiered. The finger sandwiches were on one plate, delicious but we felt a few more than 4 tiny sandwiches each would have been better lunch. Included in the tea for two were four large delicious scones, four small sweet cakes and whipped cream. Tea was delicious. We shared a small salad as well. If you like sweets you will enjoy this. Our bill for two was $82.00 not including tip. Service was excellent.
