I went with my wife to celebrate her birthday. The experience was what you’d expect in a high tea type establishment. The food was good. Service was good but leisurely. The experience is better if you are with other friends or family The ambiance wasn’t great. This is a temporary location since their new place is under construction. The outside doesn’t look good but inside was good. The owner assured us that the new one would be one of the best you can think of. Looking forward to it.

Our family was celebrating Christmas with a “formal flair.” Glad to have found the Tea Lady as an experience through the Open Table app. The ambiance was so nice! The food - tea, salad, tea sandwiches & pastries - were wonderful! I wouldn’t have known what to expect from “tea time” or a tea party. So worth it!

My husband & I had our wedding reception (high tea) at The Tea Lady. We got married at the Hower House in vintage style clothes, and our guests had fun dressing the part with tea party hats for the reception. The service & food were excellent. The fruit & vegetable salads were so generous, we were stuffed before the tiers of savory sandwiches & sweets came! It was absolutely delicious & as a very sensitive gluten-free person, I did not get sick off the amazing bread in the savory sandwiches or the fudgey gluten-free brownies. (It was hands down the best gluten-free bread I have EVER eaten.) My vegan & regular guests said their food was excellent too. (The chicken-less chicken salad sandwiches were amazing.) Reneé has a lovely selection of teas to choose from & you can purchase teas and beautiful cups & saucer sets in her shop too. My husband bought a tin of the “Wedding Tea” and when we got it home, we discovered it is the most unusual & delicious naturally flavored white tea. It’s a lovely souvenir of the day. Our meal was a very memorable, and I highly recommend The Tea Lady for anyone looking for a unique & special experience.
The Tea LadyResponded on December 21, 2022To my newly Weds!!! We just fell in love with you & your family! We hope to see you all again. Thank you, so much for visiting and making our tearoom a place to remember for the rest of your lives!

High Tea at/with the Tea Lady was exceptional today! The table was set with attention to detail. We were seated in a small, lovely room. Service was appropriate for a leisurely luncheon with friends. The food was absolutely delicious. Chicken salad, roast beef on a croissant, cucumber sandwich, scones, fall green salad, fruit cup and sweets. All excellent! Wonderful choices of fine teas. We will be back! I look forward to trying other menu options too.

It was a wonderful experience. My mom was visiting from out of town and has always had a love of tea so when I saw this place I knew I had to take her here. It has been a magnificent experience and we will have to come back. Amazing food and wonderful service. And of course some of the best tea I’ve had in a long time.

The table setting, the flowers, the decor were all very formal and pretty. The parfait, the very generous salad, and the tiered tray of sandwiches, scones, and desserts were fabulous. The only problem was it took over two hours with two little girls who were restless and full of tea and sugar cubes.

No review is going to do the Tea Lady justice. The environment was warm, welcoming, quiet, and intimate all at the same time. I and my partner were the only people in the place for morning tea on the 13th for my birthday and the people working there were absolutely amazing. The service was wonderful, the tea was amazing, and the food was superb. How this place hasn't absolutely taken off yet is beyond me. I LOVE going to tea time and this was a better experience than any tea shop I have visited in Ohio, all for an extremely affordable price. If you don't visit, you are 1000% missing out. I will be going back frequently because they have me absolutely sold on my loyalty to their tea time.

I would appreciate a private call from you, or I'll try to reach out to you to see what happened, and what we can do - for such a disappointing experience. Again, I apologize.

Owner was sole person attending the place. The locale has no store front. It’s on the 2 floor of an office building. The owner wasn’t friendly but overbearing and the price excessive.

I tried to call you. I'm willing to give you & your guest a Full refund. Feel free to reach me personally 234.200.5806

Celebrated an anniversary with morning tea. Beautiful table setup just for us. Was given free glass of wine with meal, that was also offered to the other table dining at the same time. 5 -Star food preparation, delicious tea served professionally by extremely friendly servers. We were casually dressed but the atmosphere is high class. Decorations and furniture truly make you feel like your in grand home. We have raved for others to experience The Tea Lady, very classy with home comfort.
