    I would give a zero if I could. Very disappointed. We had reservations but when we got there, the restaurant was closed down. Permanently! We had to make this reservation months out. We show up and the door is locked and empty inside. Waste of a day and I had two very upset little girls. Open table should probably take the Mad Hatter option off their website. DO NOT BOOK.

    Horrible!! I made reservations three months in advance. Received a reminder from open table of my upcoming reservation the day before. When I showed up for our scheduled reservation the doors were locked and the lights were off. My daughter and I looked inside the everything was gone. Just an empty room. We drove an hour and a half to get there to find out they are permanently closed. The bakery next door said they saw workers removing all the materials from the building for over a week. I had one very disappointed 7 year old little girl.

    They served the tea as store-bought tea bags and brought them to your table to briefly look at and decide, rather than having a tea menu and serving pots of loose-leaf tea. The tea was served in a way no better than I would do at home, and the experience was not worth the money. Hopefully this is only due to staffing shortages and will change of additional people are hired.

    So I was super excited to go to this place. Overall it was nice. Small and personal. However I’m a bit upset that it didn’t live up to the hype. It’s was kind of dingy in there and the service was mediocre. I thought it would have been a lot different felt pieced together to me. Could be because of covid and the lack of people eating out. The food was okay not really what I was expecting, it’s more of a brunch place than anything. I was disappointed at the opportunities they missed for fun food ideas and drinks. All in all not bad atmosphere just not exactly what I thought it would be.

    We took our daughter for tea service, but the couldn’t accommodate it because they didn’t have advance notice. We had tried to call but the phone either wasn’t answered and went to voicemail-which said book a table on OpenTable or when it was answered by a person was told the same thing. Anyway. Food was just *ok*, nothing special and expensive for what we got. Rabbit hole downstairs closed for renovations but seems like it has been closed for a while. Won’t be coming back anytime soon. Our waiter was fantastic, best part of the visit.
