Food: There should be an 'outstanding' rating. We were a large group, and our experience still had the personal touch. The ambiance, food, TEA (some of the most exotic choices I've ever seen east of SF...er, come to think of it everything is east of SF...), and HATS were perfect. Extremely fun afternoon! |

Food: My wife and I were fortunate to 'stumble' upon this hidden jewel of a tea house in Bigfork. This owner-run log cabin cottage is only a block off the main shopping area of the quaint Bigfork and that is what gives it the unique charm. We are strict vegetarians and Chris and Carl addressed our special need with kind consideration while serving us with the Afternoon Tea. Worth a visit. |

Food: We had a delightful lunch at Chris' Tea Room on a rainy summer day, and I found several tea related items that I have not seen before (and bought a couple of course). Highly recommended if you want a change from the rustic brew & pizza regimen of these cute Montana towns. |
