Chad was a wonderful server. We were a party of 12 and he took great care of us. The atmosphere was adorable. The food was good.
The food and the staff are excellent. The Victorian style atmosphere is cozy. We went for the afternoon tea service. There was plenty of food, and free refills of hot and iced tea. It's a great time!
Such a pretty place… excellent service and good food (and tea of course too!) We just had a tea party lunch for my 4 year old tea party lover (not a group of children, but the family with grands) and it was perfect. Bonus was that I am gluten free and they were able to provide a great gluten free full tea service for me with very tasty sandwiches, scone and desserts. 🥰
Wonderful afternoon spent in a delicious and delightful tearoom setting. Staff were friendly and accommodating with a fine selection of teas to choose from.
Best chicken salad of my life
An absolute delight! Sam our server was so nice and up beat we werent rushed Tea was fantastic so many to choose from. We ordered the tower and comes with so much food Cranberry scones and cinnamon were warm and large and to die for along with the sandwiches and oooohhh the deserts Yummy. Very pleasant and decorated so cute
Please RUN if you care about your money being wasted! The reviews left on here are really fake reviews. I would not give review if not honest. It's a small decorated place but "bad food" quality! Do not go here for your birthday or special occasion. You are wasting your money and time. The photos are deceiving. I was scammed. The food is really bad quality, not homemade either. Bland, like canned food , no quality sandwiches, low quality and I was shocked at how bad it is for the prices! High prices for bad quality food! I'm being really honest. My father spent around $ 60-100. And the desserts even worse and the tea quality too! This has nothing to do with the hair found in my salad. I called them for refund. The woman manager was away on vacation. Even after her vacation she said no to refunding me. I should just take them to court because it's 2 people against a manager, who was not even there at the tea room. My father is a witness to the food being bad and myself and poor service. 2 people felt the same way! And it was my birthday! They did not care and never refunded my father. There should never be a hair in a salad or meal! The money spent on my birthday was wasted. The service of waitresses was horrible. She should never have got a tip either. Not accommodating and too busy to pay attention to simple things (like honey for tea, dressing for salad ). No one really paying attention just busy with only about 12 tables! . Also very loud noisy place, having to talking over each other and try to hear. And 1 bathroom occupied frequently not good for a senior waiting to use bathroom. would never recommend this place not just about the hair but mainly "the food quality and desserts, and tea poor quality! "
I love this place !!! Everything was perfect , thank you !
I’m so glad I found this place! I had a great meal as a first time customer at Robinson’s Tea Room with a friend. First, the decor and vibe was so pleasant and something to look at on every wall. Second, we got the tea service which was worth every penny with endless tea options and so much food we took some home. The tea was amazing, and served a perfect temperature too. Also, the manager Linda was awesome and was honest that they were a tad short staffed but it didn’t affect our experience because I had time to catch up with my friend and not feel rushed.
We came for my daughter’s birthday the service was amazing and the food was delicious !

My friend and I went to celebrate our 80th birthdays. We had an excellent lunch. As always, everything was delicious.
This place is awful. I was so disappointed coming here after seeing the reviews. Not authentic high tea snacks and had pieces of tea all spilled into the liquid. Go to The Secret Garden in Port Jeff, much better experience. This place is not even close to what they offer at The Secret Garden.
We had a reservation to celebrate my friend’s 60th birthday. The manager called us an hour beforehand to cancel our reservation because they said they needed time to turn the restaurant over for an event they were hosting after hours. We were extremely disappointed, especially because we could have come earlier in the day at any point, had they let us know in time. We decided to give them grace, as this is the holiday season and we understand things happen. So we re-scheduled for today. Some of the food was great and some of it was less than expected. I can make an exception for that, as it is the experience and the tea that we value the most.
But the straw that broke the camel’s back for me was that they made no acknowledgment of my friend’s birthday. When both reservations were made, I had let them know it was my friend’s 60th birthday and both times they thanked me for letting them know because they said they like to bring out a cupcake and sing Happy Birthday to celebrate, which was just what I had hoped for. While we were there, the staff sang Happy Birthday for another table. Yet nothing for my friend.
I really expected that after having my friend’s actual birthday ruined by Robinson’s Tea Room’s mis-management a few days ago, that they would ensure we had a nice experience given that we were understanding and gracious about rescheduling. I’m very disappointed and will be exploring other tea venues for future celebrations. This place dropped the ball on too many levels for us.
Three of us enjoyed afternoon tea with a reservation. We were seated immediately even though the host couldn't find our reservation- she stopped by later to let us know her book had flipped to the wrong page and apologized for the mix-up.
Service was good, with the servers stopping to check on us at appropriate intervals. We got the things we asked for quickly and accurately. Tea and food delivery was staged appropriately for a leisurely experience which is exactly what we needed after a busy morning of sightseeing.
The food itself was beautifully presented and it was also absolutely delicious! The dessert tier was heavy on chocolate sweets, which one of us doesn't like... if we had realized we might have asked for a substitution on a couple of pieces, but the quantity was so ample he had plenty even without the chocolate desserts. Everything was fresh and thoughtfully prepared and plated. We left very satisfied and with a bunch of leftovers. It was a good value at $45 per and I am looking forward to returning next time I visit Long Island.
Parking: Plenty of parking was available. Sidewalks lead to all shops including the tea room.

Another lovely experience at Robinson’s. I had the full tea service and it was absolutely delicious. The service is great as well. Can’t wait to go back!
