Hidden gem in Ellicott City. Great food and great service. The back patio overlooking the course was perfect. Careful with the jambalaya - it is spicy!
We have been to this restaurant many times for great Food and ambience . Last night was very different.We ordered mussels. We couldn't eat them as they smelled really bad and first couple tasted funny. My pasta with spring veggies was overcooked mush and covered with large amounts of very oily pasto sauce.

Tea Shop offers a variety of delicious meals in a beautiful setting. The crabcake sandwich and seafood risotto are popular highlights, along with the Lavender Butterfly Lemonade, available during brunch. The Chesapeake Omelet and bacon wrapped pork tenderloin remain favorites, and now the shrimp corn dogs have become a seasonal hit. Gluten-sensitive options are also available. The ambiance is nice, and live music adds to the dining experience. The restaurant often provides outdoor seating with views of the golf course and trees, making it a relaxing place to enjoy a meal. The Sunday Brunch Buffet is well-liked, but reservations are recommended. Some reviews mention slow and inattentive service, especially when there are fewer staff members, which can lead to long wait times for food and desserts. Guests have enjoyed various events at the restaurant, with consistent praise for the food, including the salmon with mixed vegetables and roasted potatoes. The food remains the highlight of the experience, and the overall atmosphere makes it a good choice for lunch or special occasions, especially with standout desserts like the apple crumble with ice cream.
