The setting was lovely - both the manicured grounds as well as the renovated mansion! The concept of having afternoon "tea" was unique but the food that went with having a tea service was cute and tasty, but way to tiny. These finger sandwiches were not much bigger than the diameter of a quarter. Delicious, yes, but very small.

It would seem that they would want to welcome everyone (because I did feel quite warmly welcomed when I arrived and I am African-American)but I felt like I was in a very Caucasian, Victorian era-all the decorations depicted white women. Even in the small gift shop, nothing represented people of color- not a book cover or vibrant cloth, or anything else. It was unsettling.

I looked at the table that had ordered outside of the tea service menu and their food looked plentiful and delicious. Our waiter was excellent! All personnel were very kind and helpful!
