Simply the best- and consistently the best. Maybe the third or fourth time with them. Gluten free experience elevated, innovated and tasty.

Had an absolutely delightful time at Silver Dove for the afternoon tea service. A very impromptu girls day activity (snagging a 2pm reservation for Sunday on Saturday) but one I would highly recommend. The space is beautiful and the staff are so kind and give excellent recommendations on tea choices and cocktails. All of the food was absolutely delicious and while I do not have a gluten allergy would absolutely bring my gluten intolerant and sensitive friends. Truly such a great experience and can't wait to go back!

Perfect experience for my moms 60th birthday. They were also able to have a fully dairy free service!

We had a lovely afternoon at the Silver Dove. The staff was so attentive and the scones were delicious. It was a great way to spend a wintry afternoon.

Brought two co-workers who had never had afternoon tea before, and they loved it! My favorite place!

Have had a couple of lovely experiences here but the most recent visit today we encountered a rather rude host when asked about allergies/dietary restrictions. The host raised his voice, made a scene, and made my sister feel awful for making a request. Regardless, the food and tea were excellent as always but we kicked off on the wrong foot today.

We had such a fantastic lunch at Silver Dove Tea! Every bite was delicious, the price was very reasonable for the value and loved the selection of teas. Can’t wait to go back again soon! Highly recommend for any one in the gluten-free community - or not!!! I particularly loved that the sandwiches were open faced so it wasn’t just Bread. My favorite bites were the chicken salad, scones and cheesecake. Can’t wait to try it again soon!

Adorable and delicious. As someone who can’t eat gluten it was surreal to hear I could have everything on the menu. My favorites from the winter menu were the savory scone and the celery root soup but everything was worth a try.

The prices and food are quite reasonable, however, I had a problem with the restrooms last weekend.

It's a small place. Very unassuming from the outside. Maybe enough room for 16 people? I felt like it was a good value. They have two tea options. The dove and the falcon. The falcon gets you a glass of sparkling wine and some extra food. I'm glad I went and tried it, but I prefer the library tea more. 🙂
New room opening in January! Very affordable. Great presentation and choices of tea. Scones are very tasty along with homemade strawberry jam and clotted cream. Sugar cubes were present which are a must. Thank you very much.

Loved my overall experience here! The seating is very close quarters, so you'll hear everyone spilling their proverbial piping hot tea as you sip on yours. Very entertaining and well worth the investment! Highly recommend the Falcon's Fancy menu with the ginny cocktail. I live in Waikiki where cocktails are famously tiny and outrageously overpriced. I love that Boston's libations are at least a fair value. I'll be back in May!

The maitre d’, a courteous and polite young man, set the right tone as soon as I walked in. He offered me a better table (by the window) than the one the app had reserved, provided I left by a certain set time, which proved an irresistible offer: tea room with a view (even if it was Tremont St). I was thrilled that this place allows one to make a lunch reservation for tea service, instead of the strict 3:00-5:00 p.m. time frame (London) which is too soon after lunch and always kills my appetite dinner afterwards. So thank you Silver Dove for being so flexible. The place though small, is impeccably clean. The menu is clear and concise, with two choices: one with cocktails and the other one without. The tea set serve-ware is a gracious and well proportioned white and gold porcelain set, which elevates the experience. My favorite part of the meal were the savories, which offered a variety of flavors and contrasting textures. The sweets by contrast were too cloying and repetitive. Only the scone because it was less sugar loaded than the others stood out. I felt well taken care off by the two female servers who were friendly and polite. If I am in the area again will come back and perhaps they can accommodate an all savory request, sans sweets.

Lovely tea service! It’s a small space so you’re pretty packed in with other people, and there was a lingering cold draft every time someone entered or left the restaurant. But the service was excellent and the food and tea were delicious. Absolutely worth a visit!
