Victorian Rose - Rochester

Time for tea! My sister and I wanted to check out a true tea house and Tonia's Victorian Rose does not disappoint! Everything was delicious. I highly recommend the pot pie ? omgosh it's great ? The owner introduced herself. The staff was very friendly. Very relaxing and they had a great selection of endlessly timey classics. Beautifully decorated. A lovely spot to unwind.Wheelchair accessibility: None

The reason I am only giving 2 stars is because this place is outrageously overpriced. I took my friend there today for her birthday, along with 2 other friends. We were seated promptly [we had reservations], but the service was extremely haphazard. My biggest gripe was the price for what was received. We ordered the Duchess tea service for 2, and 2 of us were ala carte. The Duchess tea service was $38 per person. We received one 2-tiered tower [sandwiches on one level, desserts on the other]. This was to be split among 2 people. There were maybe 4 small sandwiches and 4 or 6 SMALL desserts [think the size of a chocolate covered strawberry] Now I can see that it might be fair if each person got their own tower, but $76 for what was received was insane. I understand that included a 20% gratuity, but why? Afraid people won 't tip when they see what they are getting? I ordered the quiche for $17. What I received was a 3-4 tart of quiche. I had fruit substituted for the salad, which was nice. I left hungry. I seriously would NOT recommend this place to anyone.

Cute place we went there for a shower and enjoyed the Victorian rose tea and peach tea served in beautiful tea, pots and old fashioned tea cups. We enjoyed the tower of tea accoutrements, including cucumber, sandwiches, cut into heart shapes, quiche and chicken salad, sandwiches and croissants along with sweet treats of chocolate raspberry cake, balls, cranberry bread with clotted cream and lemon tartlets. This is a cute and unique place with friendly servers in a thoughtful environment.

Such a quaint spot for a small gathering. The owner told the history of the Tea House, it is a very special place.

Beautiful place!!! I loved everything. The owner was very nice. Our food was also very good. The waitress was so knowledgeable about the menu and she was very
