Food: Sometimes taking a man to tea is more like dragging a 200lb dead weight to tea- not fun. Well, Victorian Grace will change all of that. My man cannot wait to go back!! The cream of chicken and wild rice soup won his heart. Now his support of tea time is insured. Thanks Victorian Grace. Also we both adored the poppy seed dressing on that delicious salad. We had a lovely time. See you soon. |

Food: A group of us visited the Victorian Grace Tea Room for my sister's 75th Birthday celebration. As I stepped inside I was quite taken back at the beautiful & elegant Victorian style decor. The little finches were chirping and the music was softly playing in the background. We were all seated at a large table so we could visit with each other. The tea we had was delicious and hot. The creamy chicken and wildrice soup was the best I have had. The three tiered tray that was presented was beautifully decorated with finger sandwiches, scones and desserts. The chicken salad was just perfect and the scones were truly the best. Everyone in my group was raving about the food and the service. The homemade desserts (petit fours and chocolate dipped strawberries were the icing on the cake. The staff was very attentative but not intrusive and our teapot was always refilled with hot tea (we had the Paris tea)Compliments to the staff for making this event sooooooo special for us. Can't wait to visit again |

Upon entering, I felt as if I was in a different world! The atmosphere is very charming, antique yet comfortable. There were a plethora of tea options. However, my favorite items were the scones and Davenshire Cream! They were simply delectable. I would highly recommend a visit to Victorian Grace for any occasion! |

Food: I have had the privilege of visiting Tampa again and one of the highlights of my trip is the Victorian Tearoom. I went there quite a number of times and every time I go it exceeded my expectation. It's just as beautiful as ever. The ambiance quite serene and I feel so relaxed and peaceful. This is the place you want to be when you want to get away from the busyness of life. I really enjoyed the tea - I had black currant and it was brewed to perfection from whole leaf. I must have had about 6 cups of tea. It was quite refreshing. The food was very delicious - wild rice and chicken soup - very hearty and the chicken sandwich was very tasty. The mouth-watering scones just melts in your mouth. I also enjoyed browsing around the teashop - so much to see and buy. The staff at the the teashop were quite courteous and friendly. All is all I had grand time at the tearoom and I would recommend this tearoom to anyone living in the area or visiting. You would not regret it. |

There is not enough words to describe how wonderful it was. This has been the best tearoom I have been to so far. The scones were delicate and mouthwatering and the soup was heavenly, not to mention the other pastries, sandwiches and a variety of exquisite deserts. We enjoyed browsing through the various rooms and especially liked the 'GONE WITH THE WIND' room. I thought it added a special touch. I would like to congratulate the owners on a job well done. I will most definitely visit again. |

I was not disappointed as the food and service exceeded my expectations once more. With its new floor covering and wall decorations, the main room looked serenely beautiful, lending itself to quiet conversation. Our tea was served with the most beautiful fine china. The food which included soup, salad, sandwiches and the most delicious scones for dessert was elegantly presented by gracious hostesses. From the time you enter until the time you leave, you will be enchanted by the Victorian charm of this tea room. Definitely a few hours well spent! I high recommend it! |

Complete relaxation and peace takes over as you are seated. A Warm welcome and pleasant conversation with the host and Tea Room personnel then begins the whole experience... followed by a short period of great expectancy of what is to come. At this point, you are hoping beyond hope that the food is not downright awful and the atmosphere and warm and friendly welcome is not just to make up for what will be sadly lacking in the food. Then the tea arrives. It is served in the finest of China, by the gentlest of hands... and best of all, it is unlimited. Next comes the soup. Totally unexpected at tea time (f... (more) |

We sat in a room set/up for four, however, there were only two of us so we had the room to ourselves to get caught up on each others lives. The tea of the day was 'Paris', it was a delighful blend, I believe it is one of their more popular teas. I even bought a tin to take home as we are from New Port Richey, FL. Every tier held delicious treats, we were pleased we made the 1 hour trip! The soup was delicious too! Thanks VG, keep up the good work! |

The scones were buttery and fresh and the cream was light. The preserves (which I had to request) were wonderful as well, and available for purchase in the charming tea shop. The service was attentive and polite, but not overbearing. It was an experience of refinement and beauty. The only suggestion is that guests be offered a selection of teas, rather than served the tea of the day (though the tea of the day was delicious). Thank you for a pleasant experience. |

The food and tea were outstanding, especially the creamy chicken and wild rice soup! We also loved the decor.

I called a week before to settle the details because I hadn't been called and they told me that they don't do 7 year old parties anymore..that they had recently changed their policy. Policy change I understand..not calling me to let me know..I don't understand. If I hadn't called...our guests would have shown up there. The staff didn't even apologize..they just stood their ground that this is their 'new' policy. Luckily...there was another tea room that agreed to do the party and they did a FANTASTIC job!!! By the way..I found out they did the same thing to someone else at my daughter's school. Not a good way to do business!!!! |

Tearoom Response
Since we have had many compliments about our little finches that live in a beautiful Victorian style bird cage, we will continue to delight our customers (kids included) with their chirping. Our Victorian patterned carpet has received glowing remarks from our Loyal Tea Lovers since it was installed last year. Our staff is gracious & displays excellent customer service to all our customers. A tea experience should set one in the mood of relaxation and a light hearted attitude. So sorry you missed that experience but we will continue to maintain our high quality of food and service. Good luck finding a tea room that you can appreciate.

The food was delicious, especially the cream of chicken and rice soup and the savoury tart. The desserts were also very good. My only complaint is that we were served passionfruit tea instead of a traditional tea, but when we asked an excellent pot of earl grey was brought out.

Food: I went to the Victorian Grace Tea for a bridal shower and it was one of the best event locations I've ever been to. The atmosphere and decor encouraged us to get dressed up and embody the Victorian era and tea culture. It just encouraged everyone to be very girlie and enjoy the moment. But ultimately, I would go back for the quality of the food - which was impeccable! I'd heard about it before I got there but it surpassed my expectations. The scones are particularly exquisite - not too heavy, not too light - just perfect. The chicken salad (which I normally don't like) was the best I've ever had. Unfortunately, I live in NY and can't go back often, but I'm totally envious to those who can sneak away and escape to this delectable tea room with a girl friend or by your self and savor delicious food in an equally appetizing environment. |

My mother and grandmother are English, so I am very familiar with tearooms, and I have to say that this was the most traditional teahouse I've been to in the US, with the highest quality of food/teas that I've ever had. I really felt like I was stepping into an old-fashioned tearoom in England. The tea was served perfectly - it was piping hot the entire time. Since I'm used to my grandmother always sending tea back because it's too 'cold', this was a pleasant surprise.

I'm used to scones usually being dry and hard but these were so moist. Their most gracious pastry chef came out to greet me and told me that she made these unique pink petit fours especially for my shower. This made me feel quite special. The warm tea kept coming and not once did we have to serve our own tea. Such personal service! My girlfriends ... (more) |

Food: My daughter and I stopped by to 'preview' the place to know if we would like to try it..we didn't feel welcome by the staff and just inside the front door was a large bird cage that smelled really, really bad and once my daughter heard the bird fluttering in the cage she became disenchanted due to her fear of birds. The place is adorable and I am sorry ladies but animals in food establishments JUST DON'T MIX. since we didn't eat there the ratings really don't apply except for the quality and cheer that was lacking |

The tarts and scones with devonshire cream are to dream about! great opportunity to meet other women. I have a jewelry business and I am excited that they will be hosting these Networking teas every other month. It is a wonderful tearoom and we are lucky to have it in this area. Thanks, Joy! |

Food: Three of my friends treated me to high tea at Victorian Grace in Brandon yesterday for my birthday! What a delightful experience for all of us. The staff was most attentive and the food was delicious! In fact, I would say the scones here are the best scones of any tearoom in the area. The tea was perfectly brewed and excellent. What an amazing experience resulting in an unforgetable birthday! I will look forward to visiting this tearoom again and again. |

Each room was painted a different color and decorated with plenty of tea related items. You'll have a hard time leaving without purchasing something! Will visit again. |

Food: It sounds to me that Rebecca has a personal problem. I have visited this tea room countless times and everything Rebecca has said is so far from the truth that it reeks. The deserts are always delectable and the food is divine. I have frequented this place more times than i can count, and if you are completely displeased then try another tea room. I will keep this one my best kept secret and retreat. The staff here is always friendly and have always gone out of their way to make my visit a great one. I constantly bring my friends and can honestly say that I at least visit the room at lease once a week. If I don't I go through withrawal. Its really sad to see someone write something so vicious about a pleasant happy place. |

Food: I visited Victorian Grace Tea Room on Wednesday 1/7/09 also, and I can't believe the horrid review that was written. I know for a fact that the desserts, scones, etc are made fresh on site. They even have a pastry chef!! As for a three tiered tray, well tea for one would look lost on that, therefore if you are having tea for 1 it's served on a lovely pedestal cake plate. The food is incredible. We couldn't finish all of the desserts so we took them home and had them for a late afternoon snack and they were marvelous, the cookies were so light they just melted in our mouths. Caroline does a wonderful job with the desserts! And Joy the manager is such a dear and very attentive. We were in the room with the woman who wrote the other review and I know for a fact that she was asked sev... (more) |

Food: I go to tea rooms regularly and have gone to all of them in the Tampa area (and some in St. Pete) and Victorian Grace Tea Room is the BEST! They have the absolute best scones I have ever had anywhere. I also try different tea rooms when I go on vacation and was lucky enough to attend high tea at the Empress Hotel in Victoria and the scones here even beat those at the Empress. Unlike some tea rooms, they will allow you to choose your own tea if you don't like what is being served. They also aren't too restrictive if you want to have high tea at a different time other than 11, 1 or 3. I also like that they serve a nice salad if you don’t want the High Tea. The staff is also very nice and along with the atmosphere makes it a great, relaxing experience. I am counting the days until my next visit! |
