    5th or 6th visit to the Walrus room. And as in all the previous visits it was perfect. We had an early meal as this was a last minute reservation and they were booked. Prime rib was excellent as were the vegetables and mashed potatoes. Our waiter was attentive, but not over bearing. If you have never been here put it on your list worth the trip, just reserve a table early as they are always booked.

    Everything was great. The food was good. The service was good. The only thing I didn’t like is I would not want to be seated upstairs because I had a broken arm and the lady where you check in told me you need to call instead of putting a note here on OpenTable so they couldn’t help me with sitting downstairs. I had to go upstairs so if you have someone in a wheelchair, your best call or you cannot eat there.

    Wonderful dinner! Best Filet in past year! Special Valentine menu. Strawberry salad-delightful. Surprise of the night was the beignets! Fabulous, untraditional with a pitcher of hot caramel sauce to pour over them. Renee and Rose made sure it was a “lovely “ ❤️ evening!

    INCREDIBLE experience and definitely a hidden gem. I’ve been talking about our experience with friends and family and so many don’t even know Oak & Rose Tea Room exists (still so new so understandable!). The BEST service. From the greeting, the attention, explanation of all the delicious tea sandwiches, breads and pastries, the decor, the view, the special attention for my daughter’s birthday… we didn’t want to leave!!! It’s about time a high tea place opened by us. Baby showers, bridal showers, birthdays, holidays, Mother’s Day, or maybe you just need something special because it’s “been a week”. I cannot recommend enough!!!
