We had a lovely experience with afternoon tea here with the Valentines special. Everything was spectacular. We had a large group of 25. Our tea was hot and delicious, the food was tasty and filling, and the service was wonderful. The staff was polite and attentive. The atmosphere was lovely with the harpist. Thank you for the experience.

An unexpected trip; Calling the hotel before I took off in Boston(4:15 AM their time), They emailed me back the reservation(WOW!, So kind the night manager, I reached, so responsive and accommodating to email me, the lounge staff!)…, I didn’t even know it was a princess tea,(I am not a princess age ) but so pleasantly surprised, how amazing! The breathtaking atmosphere, the food was delectably delicious, the harp was beautiful and set the tone so beautiful for the tea itself, precious little princesses, dressed as such, and two princess characters dressed in visiting the tables! This, the Hotel, the shops restaurants, Dandelion Chai(fantastic !)THE TEA, itself!, a must do and worth taking a trip for! I can’t say enough wonderful things about this! Plan this for anyone

It’s a tradition of my sister’s and mine to try out every tea shop, house, or garden we can. We finally got around to Grand America because it’s a bit of an investment for most of us people. And the price was absolutely worth the memory. Though the luxuriousness of the setting and food is fantastic, nothing compares with the service you’ll receive—from making the reservation (the lady on the phone was so genuine in her tone and choice of words when I needed to change our reservation after the online deadline), to our actual server (unbelievably attentive and personable), to the skill of the harpist (being one myself, I believe I’m an adequate judge). I cannot wait to spend more of my harp-earned money gifting other loved ones this beautiful and memorable experience.

I wanted to love this but I just thought it was ok.
Service was attentive but felt like our waitress/server was having a bad day or annoyed. She hardly smiled. I mean hardly.
They do kindly take pictures of you. Which is nice to remember the experience.
We got sat in a couch type setting. So many things on the table caused my mil to break a glass accidentally.
They bring you a wine glass with berries and a cream. That was really good.
The tea was really good. I got their specialty one.
The tower of food was alright. I can’t rave about it. But I tried everything just so I can say I tried it.
Sandwiches were good. I never thought I’d like egg salad sandwiches but it was different
curry sandwich and the lettuce was soggy.- different but good.
ham and olive sandwich and it was not my favorite. Super salty probably from the olives.
Hummus sandwich was good. But nothing special
For the scones. I was like whoa they are rock hard but ones you cut into them they were good – this is the only thing I actually was like can I have one more please. Wish it was warmed. – the cream and lemon curd and their jam was good
The Madeline’s were gross and dry. -5tars just for this.
The raspberry macarons were not good to me. But I also am not a fan of macarons.
Their chocolate tarts were ok. Nothing special
They had a danish cookie that looked/tasted like it came out of a tin
All in all, I don’t think I would come back. It’s expensive for what you get. The food was mediocre at best, the cream and berries and scone was only thing I would say was good. Not worth 45 dollars,
they changed us for 4 people almost 220… math it out. 45×4 = 180…where is the other $40 coming from taxes aren’t that much. Tip already was added an additional 30-40!! Umm what! No where does it say that was going to be added.
And they still ask for tip..
IMO it’s not worth 45 I would try a different tea place. The hotels coffee shop pastries and 100x better. Just server me that instead,

Such a lovely experience! Took my mom for her 75th birthday and it was so special. The sandwiches weren’t the best tea sandwiches, but they were still tasty! I loved the tea and the beautiful decorative flower. Love that they had something for me Mom’s birthday. The live harp was amazing and there was wonderful ambiance with a beautiful view. The service was wonderful as well!

Had the best tea time here. The chai tea and raspberry hot chocolate were delicious. There was a harpist and the songs she played really added to the incredible atmosphere (LaLaLand, Taylor Swift…). The waitress was also very great. I will definitely be back! Parking is validated.

My DIL and I came in for the afternoon tea service as part of our girls day out before their wedding this past summer and had such a delightful time! The in-house dandelion tea was fantastic and our server Blair made sure we had a wonderful experience! He even surprised my sweet DIL with an extra cake decorated with “congratulations” written in chocolate!! Such a lovely surprise – huge thank you to Blair for giving us such a lovely afternoon!
Entering the lounge through the towering, elegant lobby of the hotel set the tone for our tea experience and we knew we were in for a treat. A harp player was strumming fun movie score tunes as we were seated and she played so wonderfully – we had a great time trying to guess what movie the songs were from. The counters and table tops are all marble, the chairs and couches were very opulent and appeared historic, and the room was full of tall paintings and giant chandeliers – it was like sitting in a French chateau!
Blair started us off with their signature blooming flower in a wine glass – he poured the hot water over the tightly-closed dried petals and we enjoyed watching it slowly blossom as we perused the drink menu. We had a hard time deciding between their hot chocolate variations or the signature dandelion chai they’re known for.
Blair recommended the chai so we both ended up going with it and it was phenomenal! The No. 555 Dandelion Chai was created exclusively for the Grand America Hotel and it carries notes of cinnamon, rose, and coconut – a unique blend that’s comforting and warm – we loved it!
Once we decided on our drinks, Blair brought out the palate cleanser – a wine glass full of berries and Chantilly cream – it was beautifully presented, light, and refreshing- a great start. Up next – the main attraction- the tiered tower of tea treats!
Our tower of tea treats consisted of three tiers: tier one had four varieties of finger sandwiches; tier two had several cakes, macarons, and tarts; and tier three had scones, cookies, and Madelines. They also served lemon curd, berry jam, and clotted cream on the side to go with the scones.
The cakes, tarts, Madelines, and macarons were absolutely delicious! We loved them all. And the extra surprise cake Blair brought out was as amazing as well. So their pastries are the clear winner of the tea treats.
Unfortunately, the scones had a very bitter aftertaste and we couldn’t really eat much of them. The finger sandwiches included egg salad, cucumber, smoked salmon, and a chicken curry salad. Sadly they were also a disappointment- they were very dry and pretty bland. For the price and elevated experience, I definitely expected these traditional afternoon tea items to be a highlight – which is why this experience gets a 4/5 for me.
But everything else was top notch and we had a lovely time. We also wanted to explore the hotel a bit bc the wedding was the next day and we’d be spending the night here afterwards to celebrate so it was a successful visit imo lol. We had some fun girl time and an adventure running around the hotel afterwards!
There’s plenty of parking in the hotel garage – you have to take a parking ticket from the kiosk to get in, but the tea room will validate so it ends up being free for tea guests. The price of the standard tea experience is what you’d expect for this level of establishment – it was $42.50 each summer of 2025. So not too crazy.

We always love going to high tea at the Grand America. However, to be perfectly honest, the food has always been stale and/or mediocre. The teas are lovely, the ambiance is great (when the harpist shows up on time–which she sadly did not for my birthday tea on 1/25), and the service is excellent. But, definitely don’t go for the food.

We had a wonderful time at the Holiday Tea! The lobby and hotel is beautiful and the food and tea were delicious. There was a beautiful harp playing and our server was kind and helpful. If you have time to do the window stroll it is wonderful as well. The Holiday Tea will be an annual tradition for us now, we highly recommend it!

Excellent experience in a beautiful and serene setting. Online reservation system is easy, and service from all staff is top-notch. Live harp music and atmosphere made it easy to converse, and adding optional costumes are Halloween was a fun touch.
