    I was greatly disappointed in the service. The waiters didn’t know the menu, didn’t know which table to deliver food. Overall, it seemed like today was the first day being opened. Not a good Easter brunch experience.

    We had some small issues. No high chair for a toddler. Kitchen got a little behind. Food did not come out in an orderly fashion. However, the quality of food was excellent, the desire and intent to make it right was there. We had a great Easter brunch. 4 out of 5., Aperol Spritz was excellent. We will return!!

    Emma Jane was a great experience. We had the tea service, and all of the food on the tea tower was fabulous. The offerings ranged from wagyu beef on rye bred to a chicken masala salad sandwich for savories, cheddar/chive and chocolate scones in the middle, and lemon macarons and cinnamon Madelines. There is a great selection of teas, and you can choose more than one, unlike other tea services I have had. We tried Earl Grey, Pecan Pie Rooibos, and Crème de Peche rooibos. The restaurant and china used for the tea service were beautiful. Our server was Miles, and he was great. We enjoyed chatting with him. The only quibble is the noise level. My daughter and I had a difficult time hearing each other. The next time, if the weather is nice, I may sit on the patio.

    Not sure if 20% gratuity was included. I was honestly having such a wonderful experience that I did not review my check before adding a 20% tip. It would be interesting to know. Our service was impeccable and I would not hesitate to recommend the establishment either way.

    Very nice tea with mom and daughter, service was attentive, less so when it got busier. China was beautiful, and the food was delicious. It was fun to wear a hat and get into the atmosphere of teatime. Will go back.

    WOW. I’m grateful to have such a fabulous and delicious tea service in this city! Every detail from the gorgeous china to the flavorful teas and tower items were an absolute hit! We enjoyed every minute and left completely satisfied with a small to-go box of the bites we couldn’t finish. I can’t wait to return!

    The teas were delicious and we felt extra special by the delicious sandwiches, deviled eggs, and homemade scones. The jams and clotted cream were top notch. Our waiter was simply wonderful. He was so attentive but also never rushed us. The ambiance of the room was lovely, and the china was really beautiful too. Loved it! Thank you Emma Jane!

    While on a business trip to Houston, we were thrilled to take in a genuine tea experience at Emma Jane. The restaurant is beautifully designed and only outdone by the quality of tea, food and service. Our server - Tasmania - was simply exceptional…genuinely personable and so professional. We cannot wait to return! If you’re fortunate to live in the area, enjoy having this “local gem” in your backyard. Emma June is clearly a labor of love by its owners and staff. So well done and best wishes for continued success!!
