    Best Afternoon Tea Service From Niagara to Toronto. The venue is a beautiful two hundred year old home that explodes with Christmas charm. The tea service items were all created with care and attention detail. Our table was set beside a fireplace in a regal dining room. Selections of tea from a local tea sommelier impeccable. Bravo, this was the best tea offering I have experienced in some time, and I’ve done more than my share. Service from Anna was impeccable, her knowledge of the items and area were impressive. A regal experience in beautifully decorated surroundings.

    Could not have asked for a better evening to celebrate our 25th anniversary. From the way we were greeted, to being seated at one the best table and then to given sparkling wine, all of which set the tone for the evening. Our server, Laura was amazing and so knowledgeable. She recommended the perfect wine to accompany our meal. The food was delicious as always. Can’t wait to come back. Thank you to all that made our evening so special.

    ABSOLUTELY fabulous establishment — this is our second time going and they did not fail to impress us once again. Each dish was a work of art, in both flavor and aesthetic, and delicious! It is our favorite place, and the service was lovely and welcoming. Our waitress was also amazing and very accommodating. Definitely recommend, and will be going back soon.
