A very beautiful place and the food was delicious, but I have to give it a 4 because it's pretty over-priced. You pay for the experience and the decor, not the food.

All of the scad students are amazing and had exceptional service and was able to fill us in on the history of the building and well as give us amazing recommendations on the items on
Hidden gem in the historic district! I love bringing in our Flavors Food Tours of Savannah guests to dine at the Gryphon Tea Room - the service, the ambiance and the food is unparalleled ! Excellent experience each time. Big shout out to their amazing staff, Lisha, Darcy as well as my English tea hook-up behind the bar, Fabiola! Really everyone on the team is excellent!

Such a cute place. Wait staff are students and are so great. They need to get rid of the really abrupt and rude hostess and it would be the perfect place. Out of towners definitely learn the rules for putting their name down on the list and will be scared off with her as the first impression.

Beautiful historic pharmacy with detailed woodwork and stained glass inside. Our server was attentive and offered a brief history of the building, which we enjoyed. My mother and daughters and I all ordered the afternoon tea. Each person chose what type of tea they wanted and was provided with an entire pot of tea. The tea sandwiches, scones, and treats were all tasty and the presentation was gorgeous. Although we didn't eat anything from the regular lunch menu since we wanted the afternoon tea experience, it looked like they had some really delicious options. I'll definitely try to go back again!

Located in a former pharmacy in the Scottish Rite building it exudes charm. Run by SCAD they only take reservations for parties of 10 or more I believe. Got there 10 minutes before opening and was able to get a table but parties not that far behind us didn't make the first seating. Had the high tea (tea sandwich es, scones with clotted cream, petit fours etc). Great value (about a third the price of the Peninsula Hotel in Chicago for example, but it's not the Peninsula) since it is a tea room after all. Very nice experience.

Their afternoon tea is an amazing experience! The food was delicious and between the four of us we tried half of their tea menu as well. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, wood shelving and books everywhere made it feel like home <3Our server was a student from SCAD, she was very knowledgeable about the history of the building. She was also sweet and patient with us, we took our time enjoying chatting over our snacks and teas. 10/10 all around, will definitely be going back soon!

Fabulous ! The peach and ginger soda and blueberry lemonade were delicious. The salmon had lots of different flavours and textures all in symphony. Service
Good coffee, friendly service. Pastries were a bit too sweet.

Recently visited with friends during my birthday trip and we enjoyed it all. The decor was perfect and we enjoyed the tea tower. It’s a great place for weekend brunch or afternoon tea at an affordable price. I would visit again!

Quaint little lunch spot in the historic district of Savannah. Nice ambiance, good staff, good food and fair prices

The woman at the hostess stand completely put a bad taste in our mouth and made us decide to not dine in here. She was extremely rude, passive aggressive, and petty after being confronted about removing us from the wait list after we had waited an hour and were back inside the door in the time frame she gave us. She got loud and seemed like she wanted to start an argument before we just walked out. If this is how you treat people at the door, I can’t imagine how the service dining inside the actual restaurant would’ve been. From our first encounter, she seemed as if she didn’t want to be bothered with us but her attitude with *other* groups was obviously very more polite and pleasant. Very disappointed as this looked like a nice place for my friend’s birthday.

The woman at the hostess stand wasn’t very polite or personable when we first came in, but we asked for a table for five and she told us it would be an hour wait. We gave her my number and looked around the neighborhood a bit. Got the text that our table was ready, hustled back, and i got a text that we were taken off the waitlist right as we walked in. Mind you, a large party was in front of us so we had to wait for them to get done speaking to the hostess from before, and then another large party walked in after us and cut in front of us to snag their table which accounted for us being another minute late. The hostess at the counter from before (who wouldn’t tell us her name) told us we’d have to wait another hour, and I know she saw us waiting behind those two large parties.My friends and I were celebrating my birthday and we’d planned on spending a decent amount of money, but she acted like she did not want us there. If management sees this I hope they know she’s driving away business with her piss poor attitude. Since she refused to tell us her name, she’s the older white woman with a long ponytail that was working the hostess stand this morning.
