Can I give the atmosphere 10 stars? The cutest place ever with cool outdoor decor using bathtubs as planters, little tin men, a mural and so much more. The inside has a lovely tea room in direct contrast to the outside, just perfect. Nice long picnic tables outside with other tables as well. Typical restaurant fare, but you can also have high tea which someone in our party had and said it was great. I had perfectly cooked bacon on my BLT and would definitely have again. I'll be back very soon!

Great place to eat lunch or dinner, casual dress. You might want to dress up for High Tea in the authentic English Tea Room inside. Food is perfectly cooked, great service and very friendly atmosphere. Nice place to bring a date or guest for lunch or dinner or High Tea for groups and parties. Owned and operated by Jill and her family who originated from England.

Great out of the way spot that we we dug up via a random google maps selection. The staff was gracious and seated us quickly and gave attentive service. Our server was awesome. The Lobster chowder didn’t have much in the way of lobster, but it was good and we enjoyed the burger. Indoor dining is available, but it looks like the real fun is out on the patio. Very spacious. Swing by and give the this place a shot!

Nice atmosphere. Most seating outdoors. They had nice music and the hit of the night was the cat that fell asleep in the entertainers guitar case.
