    Appear to have what we assumed are growing pains as it relates to service. Very slow delivery of cocktails. Error on bill (charged for numerous items not ordered).

    Ashley is an absolute rockstar and I look forward to having another Unknown, along with the rest of the future menu. Everything was so cute and delicious, service was impeccable!

    Came into town for a concert and our anniversary. I wanted to do something surcharge for my eye and she enjoys tea parties so I chose Emma Jane. I've never had tea lol and I was a great experience. Great service, no rush, plenty of tea and well crafted food to compliment the tea and ambiance. Couldn't have planned it any better than Emma Jane!

    We came for the tea service this time and although it was good, by comparison to prior visits when we ordered from the regular menu, we felt the better option was the normal menu. The venue is perfect for special get together like a baby shower or lighter moments like that to celebrate.

    I love Emma Jane and have had good experiences in the past, so I will still come back. But this past Sunday I was not impressed. We sat for 10 minutes before anyone came to our table. We were only offered 2 teas, which does not keep with past experiences, it was a very long service because nobody came by regularly. Also, it was so warm inside I could feel the sweat drip down my back. I think that’s because the doors would open as food service was going in and out, and they’d stay open between wait staff. The food was wonderful as always, as were the (two) teas.
