Reviews
The desserts were decadent without being overly sweet, the salad was fresh and crisp, and the entire meal felt thoughtfully prepared. Their tea selection is huge, and everything I tried was excellent.
The hosts were kind, genuine, and incredibly accommodating.
For the quality of the food and the overall experience, the value is outstanding.
Highly recommend.
The Menu:
Savories: Tomato Tart, Chicken Salad Croissant, Shaved Roast Beef and Cucumber
Scones: Blueberry Scone and Orange Cranberry Scone
Clotted Cream and Strawberry Jam
Sweets: Salted Caramel Brownie, Raspberry Cake, Almond Tart
Tomato Tart: delicious, crispy outer pastry, creamy, melt in your mouth filling
10/10 rank.
Chicken Salad Croissant: (a house specialty) well mixed, packed with flavor and red grapes. The croissant was soft and pillowy.
10/10 rank.
Cucumber: soft, springy white bread, not a smidgen of staleness anywhere
9.5/10 rank (could have used a slightly thicker slice of cucumber).
Shaved roast beef: meaty, juicy, tender texture, shaved perfectly, not too thin, and not too thick, so that, a lady, could take a dainty bite, and not have a roast beef tug of war with her teeth. The bun was light and airy and the horseradish spread was delicately seasoned with just a kiss of horseradish.
10/10 rank.
…let me tell you now… this was one of the absolute best savory tiers we have ever enjoyed in all 96 Afternoon Teas.
Scones in The United States are NOT the same as England. They just aren’t. With that said, these scones were some of the best “Americanized” scones we’ve tried. Good texture, not too crumbly. Each one boasted a surplus of fruit and flavors. The “cream” was housemade clotted cream. The strawberry jam was very natural tasting in strawberry flavor and not too sweet.
Scones 7/10 Clotted Cream 6.5/10 Jam 8/10
News Flash: American Afternoon Teas sometimes, (actually, almost always) skimp on the savories and overdo the number of sweets. It is quite disheartening for a sweet tier option to take away from the experience rather than enhance it.
The Brownie: fudgy, and delightfully not too sweet. The caramel was almost maple like in flavor and complimented the whipped cream and gooey fudgy chocolate center. Brownies are not what I would look for in an afternoon tea. Too heavy of a choice, in my opinion. Afternoon Tea sweets are typically light and airy and refreshing after your “meal” of savories and scones. 6/10 rank
The Raspberry Cake: elegant in presentation. I was expecting a crisp, shortbread, crust, as found in many afternoon tea pastry options, instead it was quite dense, with thick sugar cookie like sides and a bit of a gummy middle. The raspberry on top was fresh and bursting with raspberry flavor. I did eat the inside but did not eat the cake/cookie like crust. It was too sweet and too heavy of a choice. Maybe the jam filling made the bottom a bit soggy. 5/10 rank
The Almond Tart was… SUBLIME! Like a Golden Joconde sponge. The almond flavor was vibrant and fragrant and scrumptious like marzipan. The sponge texture was light, bouncy and had a drizzle of almond simple syrup that lingered on your fingertips and of course, made you lick your fingers for every delectable bit. This sweet option was by far, my absolute favorite of the sweets.
Refreshing. Light. Just the way a sweet should be.
10/10 rank
We devoured pretty much everything which is a good indication of how delicious everything was. You will not leave hungry!
Our tea server, Linda, was charming as well and so attentive. I should have asked if I could take her photo as her smile added so much JOY to the experience. Lovely soft music was playing in the background.
Knightsville might be an outlying area of Summerville, a little off the beaten path, but visiting is positively worth the drive. I honestly can’t say enough good things about the owner Lisa, (darling hostess) the entire staff, and the whole Afternoon Tea experience.
To me, the highest test and ranking of all, is this, … would you come back?
ABSOLUTELY, without a doubt!!
BOOK NOW!! You will not be disappointed.
It requires reservation for the tea party and or luncheon.
Our servers/ tea attender were sweet, informative, and very helpful with taking our pictures. Such a lovely ladies.
The sandwiches were great and the tea selections were abundant.
I recommend this place for mother-daughter’s day date or even lunch with some girlfriends.
Love it!
The food was delicious and the service was excellent. We had two young girls and the lady was so kind asking their preferences and provided them with options and even apple juice in their tea cups. Their tailored food options were amazing and that with their desserts were served on a two tier tea stand!!!
They had vegetarian options for two of our guests. We were provided with many tea choices and enjoyed trying new flavors. Our water glasses were kept filled.
Most importantly, we never felt rushed during our luncheon.
Donna took excellent care of us!!! Everyone that assisted was friendly and helpful.
I will definitely use the Knightsville Tea Room again.
