Madeline Garden

After watching Bridgerton, I was stoked to go for afternoon high tea at a cute spot...and Madeline was it!!! This place exceeded all expectations in terms of food, ambiance and service. Everything was top notch! I came in with lower expectations but left with a great impression. Parking is 2 hours on the streets but my server let me know that the parking lot right behind the place was free. The tea selection was absolutely delightful with plenty of options to choose from. For food, they have vegan options which is awesome! I like my meat so I didn't order from that menu but there are also 3 different sets to choose from. You can opt for one set but add $28 to share. This means you get two teapots of choice, two soups and two scones. The rest are just one set but definitely shareable between two people. My two favorites were the scones and the crab cakes!! I definitely wanted seconds for both. Now on to decor...wow it was so beautifully decorated inside the place. I thought I was in Paris on a fine summer day sipping tea and catching up with a friend. They also had someone playing the harp which upped my experience another notch. My server was so kind and offered me a little something extra because I was still hungry. I didn't catch her name but Thank you for the amazing service and recommendations!

I love the old work environment, the decor and when I saw the harp, wow, I was totally impressed. The food was a long time coming but it was fresh and tasty when it came. It was well presented and i felt that the time was taken to prepare the food for me. It's an expensive experience if you want a filling experience but I would expect at least cloth napkins. In spite of the grand old world charm the touches of plastic, like the runners on the tables outside tables and the huge plastic candy bowl were tacky. The harpist is a good touch but she was not enchanting The service and attendance were good. I would return as I would like my granddaughters while visiting, to experience the old world charm.

This place and particularly the service here deserves 0 stars or even negative stars. My thoughtful, loving friends hosted a bridal shower here for me with our friends and mothers. This was a momentous day for us and this place just about ruined it. :( First, we were seated in the hot sun in the back patio. Though the patio would have been beautiful, we were not able to enjoy it because all the proper tables and umbrellas that were supposed to be there were given to the party out front. Second, our orders were completely botched. And third, our food came out THREE HOURS AFTER ORDERING, which led us to missing our next appointment. The woman who finally brought out our food (and who supposedly runs the place) botched our orders, and when we tried to communicate, just RUDELY SHUT US DOWN. Lastly, we were overcharged... and that too for poor/rude service, terrible and minimal food. The worst part was the lack of receptiveness from the person who runs this place and how hurtful she was. She was outright mean, unwilling to listen and unwilling to make this a decent experience. Do not go here, especially not for any special occasion. The food is not good, the service is worse. (Vivian is the only saving grace.)

A very pleasant 1st experience of High Tea, though the other 7 members of my party had all been here before. Some of my party wrote their Sunday-go-to-Meetin' clothes with Fascinators, others wrote casual street clothes. The wait staff was knowledgeable and patient, given my party's slight disorganization.
