   The Tea Room is so quaint and unusual, it was creatively decorated and had themed rooms. The food and tea were delicious, very fresh and a very nice selection. We will be going back.

   The Silver Inn Tea Parlor is a wonderful experience! We went for my friend’s birthday and ordered “ The Duchess “. Three tiers of deliciousness! It includes soup, finger sandwiches, scones, and sweets, along with two pots of tea. The tea selection is amazing! The theme was “ Alice in Wonderland”. I highly recommend this venue. It is fun, anytime, but a great place for a special occasion.

   We had a delightful time at the Silver Fountain Tea Parlor. The atmosphere, the attentive server, the delicious tea and accompaniments made our time there special. This has always been our go-to for tea parlours, but this time, we noticed the portion size of the savories that were included were miniscule and much smaller than we had enjoyed in the past. The scones were delicious and appropriately sized, but the savory entrees would have had a greater impact if they were a little bigger. Also, the gelato was contained in a tiny 1-inch paper wrapper...what was the point of even serving it? We may return again some day, but we hope they improve their portion sizes in the near future so that they make the cost of the meal worthwhile.

   It was such an elegant experience for the three of us! There were so many tea varieties it was difficult to choose. We had many questions about them, and our server was happy to answer them all. It took us some time to decide but we did not feel rushed. The 3 different teas were wonderful but unfortunately, I cannot remember what we picked. We ordered 2 two-tiers which included two kinds of scones, mushrooms, bruschetta with chocolate hummus and meatballs. They also catered to one of us by adding cucumber sandwiches since she had some food restrictions. The table settings, furniture, decorations, etc., made you feel like you were royalty. We were able to look at some of the bedrooms and private baths. They were absolutely beautiful. Everything was pristine. We look forward to going back and having tea and desserts! Thank you for making us feel so special.

   I treated my young grand-daughter and my daughter there as a Christmas present. We ordered the Duchess of Bedford Tea tier. Every single thing we ate was delectable! With it we sipped Mango Pear white tea. Heavenly! They played music softly in the background. The decor is gorgeous. I could live there quite happily. It was a wonderful experience. We keep talking about it. We'll definitely be visiting again!

    This is THE PLACE to go to slip back into a leisurely, relaxing, beautiful, elegant, sumptuous and overall devine experience. The Victorian charm is such a break from the rush, drama and anxiety of our normal lives. A hot pot of tea provides a soothing escape, and there are so many teas to choose from. The options for dining or desserts should make just about anyone happy. The food is always delicious and homemade. It's a far cry from the over-processed, bagged and frozen standard restaurant fare. The food at the Silver Fountain is plated on beautiful China like our grandmothers' may have used, with real silverware, tablecloths and cloth napkins. Tea comes steeping in pots to be enjoyed from delicate cups. There are no strings with paper tags attached here. The service is kind, friendly, and helpful because they KNOW the teas. It is definitely an experience that delights my tastebuds and refreshes my spirit. You might even choose to indulge yourself further by taking home a bag (or two or three or more) of the loose leaf tea. You can also purchase a teapot and/or tea cups if you wish to bring home a bit of Victorian charm for yourself.
