I went to The Painted Lady last year with some friends and the food was excellent and tea was awesome! There's a classy little store to browse around in too. I didn't think the $15 plus tip was too much for...

I love having tea or lunch here. Sadly have not made it to dinner in quite a while. It is a great house and I enjoy the restaurant area as well as the fun upstairs. Very good she crab soup.

Our experience mirrors that of the previous reviewer. We had a Friday night 8:00pm dinner reservation and called ahead to let them know that we were running late. The woman on the phone made it seem like such...

I had a tea party for several of my friends recently at the Painted Lady. Four people in my party who RSVP'd did not show up. The waitress was extremely rude, told us we were taking up the whole restaurant (there were about five other people in the whole room), refused to explain the tea service, and made us wait for over an hour for our food. The food she served was obviously not fresh, and most of it was very stale as if it had been sitting out for over a day (which made us wonder why it took over an hour to get to the table). The manager/owner was very sketchy about pricing until we showed up, and refused to offer my party anything less than full tea service. At $20 per head for disgusting food, it seemed very overpriced. Every single piece of china on the table was cracked, chipped, or broken. I was so embarrassed because several of my friends had never been to the restaurant, and I had told them it was really wonderful. Prior to this day, I had eaten in the restaurant a few times and shopped in the store upstairs several times. This time, though we were made to feel so uncomfortable that I will never set foot in there again.

Our family loves to go to the Painted Lady every year at Christmas for afternoon tea. Even 'the guys' go (they put Pepsi in my husband's tea pot for him!). If you have small children, this is a magical place...

Great for tea time. Have gone several times with the "ladies". Definitely a special treat. The tea and scones are always great. The gift shop upstairs is worth a visit.

There were only two other tables being served when we got there at 7:00. It is interesting to note that when I called to make a 7:30 reservation, I was told that time was not available. We asked to sit in the...

The afternoon tea is a wonderful experience! From the selection of teas to the finger sandwiches and yummy desserts this can't be beat. Tea is - after all- so civilized!

I have been here several time. The tea selection is good, and actual service nice. I thought the service a little slow but maybe they do that so you may savor the flavor.

Gone are the tea rooms in the department stores but not from the Painted Lady. Excellent experiences for the young ladies and a lunch with the girls!

It is a shame that you have a beautiful restaurant haunted by food from late 70's. Food drowned by sauces, maybe to cover up their ability to be completely untalented. Grandma might like. Simply bad
