My husband and I took our adult daughter and 3-year-old grandson to a high tea at Ferns and Flowers this week to celebrate her landmark birthday, and we had a delightful experience. The rooms were warm and cozy with fires in the fireplaces. The staff worked nonstop to make all their guests happy, and they did have a full house that day. They remained calm and exquisitely polite despite the fact that they were two staff members down due to illness and a car accident. Once seated, we enjoyed our separate favorite teas from an extensive list, and on request our grandson got a miniature old-fashioned glass milk bottle of milk (at no extra charge, may I add). The scones with cream and jam were DELICIOUS. We all could have stuffed ourselves with them, but we had to move on to cold sandwiches and hot hors d'oeuvres followed by delicious baked sweets, both served at each stage on a traditional two-tiered serving plate. We basked in the warmth, good food, and good cheer for 2.5 hours and in all that time no one -- not even our little one -- struck a false note. Thank you F&F! We'll be back!
