Adorable spot for a fun lunch. Not exactly a traditional tea room but well worth a stop for soup and a sandwich.

Honestly can’t rate this restaurant highly enough.Thoughtfully curated menu and wine list. Had an absolutely delicious meal of grilled shrimp and warmed vegetables over greens with avocado and Asian dressing. Fresh ingredients, a talented chef, cozy atmosphere. WIN!

So I thought I reviewed this already but as the most snooty stubborn person when it comes to quality, I see no reason to go to NY when I have this place so close.This chef is beyond compare.

Always delicious. The chef and staff are fabulous. Arrive early Bc it’s a small restaurant.

Great food but the waitress with the gray hair and glasses, Joanne or whatever her name is, is terrible, nasty attitude, doesnt put crab in the soup, and is a moron. The place would do better if they got rid of that old snot
I took my mom to lunch with my daughter ( she's 8). The restaurant it self is very dated. It's like an old hotel lounge with big bulky old chairs. The inside could use a facelift. Now about the food. Everything was exceptional! The waitress was the only one serving and hosting and she did a really great job keeping it all together. I love how you can see the chefs cooking. My daughters grilled cheese was perfect, just like mom makes! My sandwich and soup was so tasty and my mothers seared tuna was fresh and delicious!

Although the food is beautifully prepared and the atmosphere is lovely, there is a downside to the Raven Tea Room: It does not accommodate handicapped customers despite the web site statement that the entire restaurant is handicapped accessible. There is a ramp on the side of the building which leads to the interior foyer. From that point the entrance into the Tea Room consists of a flight of stairs which makes it difficult or impossible for a handicapped person to enter the dining area. There is also a door directly off the sidewalk outside going into the dining area, but staff tells handicapped customers they cannot use that door and are being rude if they do. The issues of access and insulting customers by telling them they are rude when they try to accommodate their needs were brought to the attention of the owner who did not respond in any way about either issue. There are many other good restaurants in the area which do accommodate all customers irregardless of their health issues (Apple Street Kitchen is one) and which do value all their customers so I'll leave the Tea Room to the hale and hearty.

We took my daughter here with some of her friends to celebrate her birthday. Some of us enjoyed the evening laughing. The food and drinks were delightful, as the atmosphere. The service on the other hand was a trip. Waitress had way too many spills over the course of the dinner. My husband was furious! The rest of us laughed it off. To make it up to us we received a free glass of champagne. My husband was not pleased with his meal or of the service. My daughter had a good time. That's all that matter to me.
