Do not recommend. Better places to spend your hard earned money.
Attended Christmas Tea, which was cute but quite costly for the experience and offerings and not worth it overall
What a fun place! Food was fresh & portions were just right.

The Mad Hatter House of Curiosities and Tea Parlour offers a unique and charming experience set in a historic house, featuring a delightful ambiance and beautiful presentation. Visitors often praise the high tea, describing it as the best they have experienced, with perfectly prepared food, a great variety, and exemplary staff. Many guests enjoy dressing up and celebrating special occasions like baby showers and bachelorette lunches, highlighting the venue’s fun and elevated atmosphere. The tea service is known for its wide selection of teas and the use of antique china for place settings, adding to the nostalgic charm.
However, some reviews mention that the food is good but not exceptional for the premium price, which can be around $60-$68 per person. Critics note that the high tea offers more of an hors d'oeuvre platter than a full meal, and that the food and beverage quality, beyond what is included, can be inconsistent. Service also receives mixed comments; while staff are helpful and responsive, there are instances of cramped seating, slow refills, and less attentive service. Additionally, guests wish for more information about the house’s history and more attention to details like water and tea refills.
Overall, The Mad Hatter House of Curiosities and Tea Parlour is appreciated for its charming setting, memorable experiences, and special event hosting, though some feel the food and service could be improved to match the premium prices.
