Variety: This tearoom is in a lovely historical setting, it is well decorated, and the food is outstanding. The owner has done a wonderful job making this a delightful place for a lunch outing. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. We had a great experience and can't wait for our next visit. |

Variety: This is a wonderful place. Our Red Hat Group went from 12 to 21 and they just said great. The more the better. The food was great (their sampler platter was especially delicious) and the waitress and hostess could not have been friendlier. We were so excited when we arrived and the hostess came out to greet us and take our picture. I can't wait to go again. |

Variety: This is a wonderful place to relax, have tea and a great meal if you choose. I LOVE the fact that they have so many teas and menu items to pick from, but have never gotten used to the hours of the business. Tuesday-Friday, 11:00-2:00 makes it difficult to attend with the added reservation almost always required. I would love to go more often but can't due to the odd hours and days of the week. All in all this is a wonderful place to take friends, have a party or just have a little 'me' time, if you can fit the odd hours into your schedule. |

Tearoom Response
Thanks so much for your kind words, we do appreciate you taking the time to post for us. Regarding our hours; being closed on Mondays, and open from 11:00-2:00 is a very common time frame and is standard for tearooms that only serve lunch. Our Saturday opening are somewhat limited because we must work around the weddings that are held in the Chapel. It is also not necessary to have a reservation, but please keep in mind that there could be a short wait time if we are accommodating a large group. During the holidays we do encourage a reservation due to the fact that we do have many groups who have scheduled their holiday parties. We look forward to another visit.

Variety: This is the best Tea Room I have been to in a long time. I've been searching for that one tea room that has excellent service, a wonderful atmosphere,delicious food, and delightful tea. Today I found that tea room. I'm so lucky I got to enjoy a lunch here during the Christmas holidays. Everything was so beautifully decorated and very festive. I will be returning from my home in Oklahoma as soon as possible to visit here again. |

Variety: I visiting from California and love to visit different tearooms with my daughter. We looked this one up before we came and read all of the wonderful reviews. We were not disappointed. The food was wonderful, the setting beautiful and the service was very friendly and warm. This ranks as one of the top tea places we have been to. |

Variety: I love Beyond the Garden Gate Tea room. I took friends there yesterday and today, as always the service was above and beyond what you would get anywhere else. Food is fresh, good variety and great tasting (save room for the delicious desserts.) lots of teas to choose from, whether you want hot, cold, sweet or unsweet. The decor is beautiful and the owner Jackie always makes me feel like family. |

Variety: This tea room is awesome! The food, the service,the decorations and the atmosphere were spectacular! Some of my friends from our Fibro support group met there for lunch today. We all had the sampler plate that was delicious! We were not rushed to leave and we felt at home while chatting. They were always refreshing our drinks and checking to see if we needed anything. We will definitely be back again! |
