    A favorite tea spot in LA that I always enjoy with friends and family! I appreciate that it is more savory than sweet. I miss the Assam tea choice, and wish there were additional caffein-free options. I also wish the “popper” with goat cheese and honey would disappear, replaced by a milder cheese choice.

    Food was better than expected. Service by Doug outstanding the only negative was a crying toddler at the table near us but parents should know better than to bring a young child to this type of setting

    First time to a tea room in general and our server was so nice, he walked us through everything. Took pictures for us and was very helpful & courteous. Food & tea were delicious. Would definitely come again.

    Great staff and great food. We were seated indoors instead of outdoors due to high winds. But everything was great.

    I read bad reviews prior; they were blind or had no taste buds. Everything was excellent or too rich, foodwise. I'm not a "chocolate person," but that was yummy, too. Great experience.

    Overall I would give it a B. I was disappointed that the tea was bagged and not loose leaf and they over-poured the water so tea was diluted with only one tea bag. Our server brought us another tea bag but the water was not hot enough to steep tea properly. The bites were enjoyable but some felt like they had been prepped for awhile . On one the prosciutto had browned and become chewy already. I would recommend serving a glass of bubbly with the experience. Glad I was able to experience.

    Food was very bad, almost like it was someones leftover. The place was 25% full not sure why such a hipe with reservations. Will not recommend to anyone. The only positive was visiting the museum
