Nestled and tucked away in the Hunting Valley/Gate...

Nestled and tucked away in the Hunting Valley/Gates Mills area, I stopped by for tea and dessert in the lounge upstairs. So this is my review of the lounge.

Nice, homey, cozy, intimate. Quaint. Really dim lighting. Our waitress was super nice and accommodating. Wasn't that busy. Kind of like being in neighbor's living room with a bar.

The reason for the just ok 3 stars is that I wasn't that impressed with the menu or the food. Mostly, instead of some nice music for ambiance, there was a TV on loud at the bar. Politics for one or two patrons. Risky move today. We decided to leave. Don't want to get into it. This place has been running long enough to be sensitive to the mood.

Your mileage may vary. If you find yourself in the position of the loud TV, I'm sure you can ask to turn it down. I can imagine it being a nice yet informal place to meet, otherwise.

Decide if you want a lounge or a bar. Can't have both.
