Huntington Library and Gardens Tea Room San Marino Reviews
This is my go-to lunch spot with my girlfriends.
The service is great. The tea and accompaniments are exceptional. The venue is centered in a beautiful garden in the Huntington Library. I love this place.
My last review was 6 years ago, so I thought I'd update
My last review was 6 years ago, so I thought I'd update this one. It was my mom's birthday again. My partner and I have membership to the Huntington, which had expired like, 5 months ago, so we were able to use this opportunity to renew our

Amazing to have vegan options!! Tea time! A certain admission is needed to get access to where the tea garden room is too. It's a whole section where general admission don't have access to? Attire: People are dressed for a fun event, chill

This is my first time here since they reopened the Rose Garden Tea Room. What a different experience! I wouldn't necessarily say better, but different. Whereas the old tea room had a grandmother's sitting room with doiles vibe and a large b

Ive been here 4 times and my most recent visit will be my last. If you enjoy afternoon tea, then visit the Huntington gardens and then enjoy afternoon tea elsewhere. There are many locations to choose from in pasadena that will be of better qualit
Now that it is renovated it is worth visiting.
I like coming here for tea on special occasions and now they have outdoor seating. You should definitely reserve your table in advance and be advised that you must also pay to enter the gardens, your reservation to the tea house does not get you in t
Angelina, the server was outstanding.
She checked on us, brought us plenty of ice, it was a really hot day. Sound . Excellent ! Food. Was tasty but could have been fresher. It's ok to make food ahead but bread must be covered. Our bread was hard, scones were like rock, and the mini

When I was originally going to write a review, I planned on giving 4 stars. We were a walk in party of two and were able to be seated in 10 minutes which was a plus, our waiter was fantastic and thorough, making sure to explain how the service worked

I made reservations for 2 online.
You need tickets to the Huntington in order to eat here. They have two options for afternoon tea. I got one of each. The items I liked the most were from the less expensive option. My favorite was a chocolate "brownie". I don't like te

Would not return
I love tea. I'm a reviewer comparing this experience to stellar tea services I've had in Boston. The service and menu are shockingly limited for its price point. I was disappointed that we weren't offered to try different teas after fi
Disappointing!
This new "improved" tea room was a big disappointment. The new Tea Room is austere and modern, not nearly as charming as the old one was. It was my friends 1st time and she was wondering what the big whoop was about it. The food was fine,
Honest Review - Don't Go!
Avoid you are European, Australian or from elsewhere and have seen real English high tea. The roses were ordinary looking, not really pretty or special. The tea sets were in pretty, no special ornamental shape, painting or colours. Just bland whit
Expensive and worth every penny!
A real bucket list place to eat. Many fabulous pastries, scones, and finger sandwiches. Indescribably delicious! You get to choose your own tea and since it was over 100 degrees, I had it iced. The waitress even brought me a piece of chocolate cake
No Reason to ever go back
I visit the Huntington 4 times a year to see the gardens in every season. High tea is often part of the treat. I waited a long time for the Huntington Rose Garden Tea Room to reopen for my cherished tradition. Once the newly renovated facility ready,

Wow! The newly renovated and reestablished tea room at the Huntington is exquisite. The entire experience from décor to food has been elevated to a whole new level. This new experience is highly elegant and so special. I appreciate the selection
This is a 2-part review.
I've been to the renovated Tea Room a number of times now and it's absolutely lovely. Food is good - esp the savory sandwiches - and the ambiance is CA-elegant. A real getaway. When I visited end-of-day last Wed my credit card was not returned to me

Huntington Tea has really gone down - the bread was too thick, hardly any filling in the sandwiches. It cost us $274 for the 3 of us we got there at 3:30 for a 3:30 seating at about 4:05 it was clearing out and the cleaner started sweeping the whole

I'm a Huntington member, and I've wanted to try the Rose Garden Tea Room for so long, so I'm glad I could finally try it. It's so hard to get a reservation because it's booked months in advance, but I went in the early afternoon and was placed on the

Came during the week, wanted to take the time to enjoy the Rose garden. Loved it.. the tea is good and flavorful. I can't imagine any of their teas being bad. What I had was earl grey crème and it was good. Service was awesome. She was polite
Wow! So impressed with our tea experience.
Amazing food and they even had a wonderful vegan tea option that was so freaking delicious! I brought my 2 year old daughter and she absolutely loved it and they had a great kids tea service for her. The service was wonderful. We sat outside and the
If you haven't been to the tea room make a resy and go.
It's a delightful experience. I am a tea lover usually I'm not into pastries. I enjoyed almost all of the pastries on their vegan Huntington option. Rene & Juan were our servers. They took such good care of us. The ambience, food, and atmospher

First time visiting Huntington Gardens and the Tea Room.
What a perfect time to go since it's spring and all the flowers are in bloom. I recommend making reservations in advance. We made our reservations about a couple of months ago. I'm glad we did because there were a lot of walk ins and the wait seemed

Make reservations far in advance.
We came here in February and made the reservation in November. Given the hype, I would say it's overrated. The ambiance is nice, very esthetic, but that's where all your money is going towards. The food and tea itself is nothing too special. I can pr

I'm a member of the Huntington and have been excited to check out the new tea room. However, I don't see how anyone is able to get a reservation. I've checked on open table countless times and I've tried calling but no answer. The way they're set up

AMAZING so fun and very yummy food! the service was excellent and the host was very welcoming. Cool ambiance.
I waited 4 months and it was not worth it.
The place is beautiful sure but the food was very disappointing. It looked beautiful but It tasted like the ingredients were low quality. Everything was very bland. Even the people next to me said they expected just more. The tea was okay honestly
Make sure to book your reservation when the rose bushes are
Make sure to book your reservation when the rose bushes are blooming. Note that if you want to go during this optimal window of April and May then reservations are going to be more difficult to get on Open Table. The Tea Service is great to break up
Beautiful experience will come back for sure.
Delicious bite size sweets and savory treats
So disappointed.
Had been so excited to go the newly renovated tea room. It took nearly a year for the reservation. While the inside certainly looked nice, the service was minimal and the food average at best. They didn't even have Lady Grey tea....they had run out
Very disappointing - I loved the OLD Rose Garden tea room.
This remodel took away the old world vibe with ridiculous prices and just ok food. Service was great - the worst for me was the gender neutral bathroom, I am not sure who was more embarrassed, myself or the men in there, and it was NOT clean. I will
Beautiful setting, decent food, spotty service.
This was our second visit to the renovated tea room. Same experiences both times. Very nice overall but the service really needs tweaking. The hosts are just not very welcoming or even friendly. We arrived at our reserved time on the dot but waited o
Overpriced, mediocre tea; terrible management
I went to tea at the Huntington Gardens' new tea house with 28 friends on Friday, December 15. The tea and snacks were fine overall: the Huntington signature tea is good, the rose tea is delicious, the earl grey creme is excellent, and the greedy t
Good and bad
It was a pleasant experience, the food was good and the tea (Huntington blend) delicious. But it is very expensive and one of the main problems is that "Open Table", the website for reserving a table, DOES NOT WORK. We came and had a table
There's room for improvement
If the Huntington's tea room weren't at the Huntington, I'd give it three stars. I'm adding the extra star because being able to walk around the gardens and galleries before and after tea adds immensely to the experience. I had tea at the Huntington

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Huntington Library and Gardens Tea Room San Marino at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Huntington Library and Gardens Tea Room San Marino page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FamousStation67, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FamousStation67 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FamousStation67 for any questions Peter may have as FamousStation67 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FamousStation67 now uses their connections at Huntington Library and Gardens Tea Room San Marino to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FamousStation67 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FamousStation67 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FamousStation67's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Huntington Library and Gardens Tea Room San Marino!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
