Thank you for the memories! Emma..aka..' Mrs. Phats', grammy and Aunt Mary 'Bubbles' and I had the most woderful time at your place. We all felt so warm and welcomed, and although we had just met, it was like coming home to an old friend.
My mother often talks about our special day out at Moffat's and ranks at it as one of her fondest memories. Does it get any better than sharing in your grand-daughters firt tea party? Thank you for all you did to make it an extra special day for all of us! Who knew that Squash soup was Emma's favorite! The food was excellent, and although I have made your chicken salad, Heinz salad cream and all, it will never be as good at yours!
Thank you also, for your support of All Children's Hospital, through your generous donation, I have found 'OUR TEA PLACE!'. We all look forward to seeing you again! Sue, Emma, Grammy, and Aunt Mary Bubbles!

I read Lesley's review and knew I just needed to check this place out. I have traveled all over Europe and the US having Afternoon Tea and I have never encountered tea bags. The tea is always loose. I think any tea drinker would be offended to see a bag. The place is very charming and cozy with beautiful china and tea accessories. The food was excellent. I enjoyed the best tomato bisque I have ever had and the chicken salad was to die for. I found the tea service quite traditional and was offered sweeteners or lemon for our tea. It certainly did not need to sit on the table. The hostess was quite attentive, friendly and very fun to chat with. When I visit the Tampa Bay Area again from PA., I will definitely make pilgrimage to Moffat's.

I am sorry, but I have to agree with Lesley. We have been to a couple of tearooms and the service at other places are WAY better than Moffat's. I have been to Moffat's 3 times and each time I was not completely satisfied. I will not be returning to Moffat's for the same reasons Lesley will not.

I've been to many of the tea rooms in the Tampa Bay area and found that Moffat's service and quality was lacking. Neither the tea pot, nor the comdiments (sugar, sugar substitutes and cream) were never left on the table and we were left with empty cups for minutes at a time which seems like forever when you've just bitten into a piece of 5 day old crusty cholocate cake. It was 62 outside and even colder inside with no working heat. The scones are not authentic the cream is sour cream based (also not authentic) I notice that there were no tea bags hanging from the pots they poured with, which was curious to me especially when I found a tea in the box at Publix that shared the same name and flavor as the tea I was served at Moffats. Premium tea doesn't have a square piece of paper on a string. I would not suggest this tea house to anyone.
|
- lesley 03/12/08
|
You are correct, Lesley, we don't leave our teapots and sides on the table because we here at Moffat's were raised right. When you come to have tea, you are supposed to be served...that is part of the ritual of having tea, it's tradtion. Also, you are not suppose to 'gulp' it down...it is to be sipped and enjoyed, so I do appoligize for you haveing to wait a minute or two between refills...As for the devonshire cream...yes sour cream is used. Clotted cream does not have sour cream. As for the tea bags...when using a loose leaf tea one does not see teabags hanging over the side of the pot, also many teas have the same name and/or flavor...as far as the tea bags go in general, I think Harrod's of London, Twinings, Brodies, Jackson's of Piccadily and Taylor's of Harrogate are considered worldwide as 'premium' tea makers and by the way, they all have tea bags. I hope this helps educate you a little bit more on the art of 'having tea' so that the next tearoom who has to deal with your ingnorace won't be unjustly described on the internet.

My teacher friends and I recently visited Moffat's Tea Room for the Victorian 'High Tea' at 4 pm. We had the little front room to ourselves and our server's undivided attention. While the room was small, it had a comfortable, 'homey' feeling and was decorated with beautiful teacups and table linens. What a pleasant sight to a group of exhausted teachers at the end of a stressful day! We found the food to be excellent and our teacups were never empty. We will return again soon to this lovely little place.

I took my sister from Chicago to Moffat's as a way of saying 'Thank you' for her love and support during a very difficult time in my life. We arrived about 30 minutes early and had the opportunity to look around and admire the various tea sets and decor. I felt very comfortable in both rooms and enjoyed the peaceful setting and tastefully decorated rooms. I was thoroughly enchanted with Moffat's and will be returning with others that were instrumental in helping me with my fight with cancer. The atmosphere was delightful; extremely quaint and heart warming. The food...OMG!!!! All I can say is I am glad I have my taste buds back as I truly enjoyed every morsel offered. Ailean and her wait staff were a pleasure to chat with and our tea cups were never empty! Thank you for a truly memorable afternoon. I can't wait for the ENCORE!

Cute little tea cottage. However, I was visiting my daughter, she brought me here with my friend, the atmosphere was uncomfortable because it was hot inside. And, we had to keep asking for refills on our tea. Cramped atmosphere because it is so small inside and tables are squished into a small space. Food was delicious, would like to see improvement on service and atmosphere.

Thank you, Mary, for giving your review. I remember your table and am so sorry you were warm that day. We did have to shut off the ceiling fan, because some guests were a bit chilled from it, but we have never had a concern about it being warm inside, including when we have parties of 20 in for showers, etc. As for service, I believe the wait staff thought you were finished with 'hot' tea when you requested ice water for your beverage...a simple mistake. As for feeling 'sqiushed' had we known your particular circumstances, in advance, we could have seated you at a different table location. Thank you for your time and have a Happy New Year.
