The Rose Garden Tea Room - Arlington

The atmosphere was very peaceful and relaxing. I was advised by the staff to call them within 24-hours in advance to order my dessert and to do a tea tasting. The staff was very nice and professional. They make you feel very comfortable.Parking: Easy to park.

This is a cute restaurant and shopping venue. If you want the high tea option, you have to make a reservation and specify high tea. This could be a great place for an event such as a birthday, baby shower, bridal shower, etc. Very decently priced menu. Service was great, and they do have restrooms.Parking: Shares parking lot with other stores. 1 story right off the road.

We went to the high tea at 2 and it was below our expectations. Rather than using china and a tiered serving platter for tea sandwiches and scones, they plated each course on very plain, normal plates. Teapots were small metal ones, not even cute ones. When we went, they were running low on teas and only had a small handful of teas to select from. Only one decaf option. The decaf option they had was pretty flavorless. The tea sandwiches were fine but the bread was a bit dry on some of them. The scone was a tiny, flavorless biscuit (the one, tiny scone per person was the entire second course . The dessert course struck me as tacky rather than elegant, but if did taste good. For the price, we were disappointed with the quality and left still hungry. I will say, though, that the hostess and waitress and other staff were very friendly and thoughtful. So that was a bright spot. They brought a cake out with a candle for the person in our party with a birthday, but didn 't light the candle or offer to, so it was kind of silly.

Such a cute place. You can get a full high tea or a lovely lunch. This was a stop on my not-cooking birthday tour and I loved it.

The chocolate cake is amazing!! The atmosphere is quaint and cute! The staff is friendly and accommodating. Love this place and you get to do some shopping too!
