Variety: Beyond the Garden Gate has been a fantastic tea room since its beginning. The decor is charming and elegant. The food is wonderful. Today, my group had the quiche and fruit salad and roast beef sandwich. The verdict by all was absolutely unanimous--delicious. Our desserts, Italian cream cake and lemon cake with lemon curd and whip cream were scrumptious. We had a great time. |

Variety: First time at this tea house and was pleasantly surprised and pleased with the entire experience. I have been to one other local tea house here and this one had an incredible list of teas, all kinds of variety and I am an avid tea drinker at home and was shocked. Everything we had was wonderful, and decided to host a shower in May at Beyond the Garden Gate because the service and location are amazing and I cannot wait to go back! |

Variety: The historical mansion is a must see on its own and easily transports one back to the Victorian era. It is the perfect setting for bridal and baby showers; not to mention all the wonderful events they plan. Plus as an added bonus the staff makes you feel like family everytime you step across the threshold. |

Variety: I cannot rave enough about this tea room! I live in the area but have visited tea rooms all around the south... This is the best, hands down! I belong to a red hAt society here in tennessee and we visit every couple weeks. It's the perfect setting to bring your social club for lunch. The building is beautiful and the staff is soo sweet. The Christmas decorations are amazing, and oh.. Did I mention the food? It's delicious! They have sooo many varieties of hot tea my group still hasn't tried them all... Ladies, you have had the rest, now it's time the visit the BEST! This historic building is really a treat. We always ask for Crystal but all of the servers are wonderful. |

Variety: Our ladies group went to lunch here for a Christmas lunch and to exchange presents. What a delight. The decorations are beautiful which made it a perfect setting. Each room was done in a different theme. After lunch we enjoyed walking around and looking at every detail and taking pictures. As usual the meal was a good as ever. |
