The Huntington's Rose Garden Tea Room

The service and ambiance were 5 stars but a few items were not worth the price point. Plus the milk/cream wasn’t brought out with or before the tea, so one star removed. The gender neutral restrooms were lovely and clean, it’s how they are in Europe, floor to ceiling stalls with no gaps, lite beach restrooms. very private except the communal hand washing station. The Gen Mai Cha and Earl Grey were our favorites and the Strawberry, Saba, Whipped Black Pepper Cream Cheese sandwich. Scones were average and they gave a lot of yummy toppings and good portions but I did miss the traditional clotted cream. We all agreed the egg salad was bland… more dill? Mustard maybe ? And the best part of the upgrade was the glass of Prosecco, it’s $10 value so the 2 added bites were $3 if you look at it that way… but the lobster was disappointing, I wish they kept it a mini lobster roll just like they server for Valentine day 2023! For the price I don’t think that’s asking too much. Love that they offered to check in the stroller, I’m glad I brought my own plastic tea set for the toddler. Due to price it might be an every other year treat but would come back. Would be nice if some à la carte options if we didn’t want to do the full high tea. I only saw add on options.

Be aware that the only restroom is for both men and women. (It is not a private one stall type) It was awkward to say the least to have a man in there, not to mention the fact that he left the lid of the toilet up and forgot to flush. No one would use that stall. The actual tea was delicious, but restroom overshadowed the experience.

My wife and I had an amazing experience! The food, service, and atmosphere/views are incredible. Kelan was an excellent server, make sure to ask for him. The only thing we didn't like was the bathroom. Sharing the space with people of the opposite gender was uncomfortable.

The food was fantastic and the gardens are beautiful! Vegan menu upon request and the venue is simple gorgeous. The service left much to be desired from start to finish and not in line with the cost of their tea service. Was glad to try it once but won’t be back even as a Huntington Member.

Excellent service! Delightful finger sandwiches and desserts, served with specialty tea at the newly renovated tea room surrounded by wonderful rose fragrance!!
