   Felt rushed to leave. They tried to take our food away before it was done. Food was pretty flavorless besides the scones and egg/chicken sandwiches. The place was completely empty (literally the only people in there) even though there were 0 reservation options available online other than a 7pm time slot. I would have loved to get an earlier reservation time, so a call offering to move up the time would have been great. It also would have been better for them to offer more/earlier weekend times online so they can close on time. A 7pm time slot for a 90 min, expensive, experience shouldn’t be offered when last call is at 7:30. Overall it was just a mid experience

   Our family loves Lady Camellia! It’s more of a special occasion place for us but I feel like pricing is on par with other tea rooms we’ve been to previously. They have a wide variety of teas to choose from and a great selection of sandwiches/desserts. I usually take my 6 year old and she loves going for tea parties. She usually asks to go there for her birthday. They have a kids menu as well which is perfect. We will going back again and again.

   Very charming interior and decor. Place setting details were lovely and staff was pleasant and helpful. Many tables jammed into tight space. Noise level not conducive to any private conversation. We had to switch our reservation from afternoon to after 5pm and were unaware that the "evening" menu is drastically limited to the two most highly priced items (full tea for $59 per person or high tea for $67). That's on us for assuming the regular tea options were available all day. We each had the full tea, which was a variety of a half dozen small treats, and 2 savory crustless tea sandwiches and tea. For $76 per person with tax and tip. Was fun for a splurge.

   It was definitely a highlight of our trip. From the moment we entered, the smells were amazing. We were a party of four, so our menu was selected for us, a collection of their favorites/best sellers. The scones were everyone's favorite; they were amazing. There was so much to choose from, we were all completely stuffed by the time we left. They boxed all our leftovers in the cutest to-go boxes. The entire experience was perfect. If you are in the area it is a must.

   I am pleasantly pleased with the food quality and taste. The food was excellent. I made the reservation on a Sunday to celebrate my daughter's birthday, and the place was very busy. We had to wait about 5 minutes longer, not horrible, and it was because other customets were still dining had not finished yet, so that is understandable. Noise level was very high, atmosphere was busy a lot of chatter. Decor was nice, but it could be a little better if they had larger room space. Tables are very close together. Employees did a decent job with service. Friendly and helpful, but due to how busy it was, they had a lot of customers to wait on, so they did their best. Overall, it was a very good experience. The food experience alone is worth the expense, along with the good service and a nice atmosphere. The price is on the high side if you just looked at the menu items only, but you pay more for the quality of the food and mainly for the experience to dine in a tea room type of setting. I give the experience 4.5 stars out of 5 stars.

   The food was decent, but very expensive. We had a reservation but still had to wait 15 minutes for a table. The service wasn’t very good. The waitress seemed unhappy to be there and wasn’t attentive. The space is pretty.
