The Inn on Negley

I have been to a few tea rooms all in different states. This tea room has topped them all. I don't mind the Victorian play up that most tea rooms have, but I really appreciate it when they don't. This spot in Shadyside was so easy to find and plenty of parking options. I took my sister in laws and a girl friend to The Inn On Negley. We were charmed by the beautiful house on the corner, and were greeted by a lady at the door. She bade us to sit in the parlor while our table was prepared. After we were led into a beautiful dining room in which they offer more than just afternoon tea, the service was slowly paced so we could read the variety of teas and enjoy the whole process. We each got our own pot of teas and were frequently asked if we would like to switch to a new flavor everytime we ne... (more)eded refills. The wonderful chef Jackie came personally with our 3-tiered tea stand and told us everything she had prepared in detail. Those tea sandwiches were the most delicious I have ever had. Next time I go I am taking my husband, he wouldn't feel awkward in a tea place like this.

The Inn on Negley offers the visitor a warm and tranquill stay at this beautiful B&B or an afternoon of elegant tea service. The historic house is decorated with exquisite antiques, offering a feast for the eyes. But the best is the British tea service, made with great skill by Jackie. She is a gracious and skilled hostess, and will make you feel like a treasured guest. Her delicacies, including most delicious scones, succulent savories, and delightful sweets, will make you want to return as often as you can. She is creative in her offerings, and artistic in her presentation. Tea for two or tea for twenty will be among your most cherished experiences.
