text: There is not a great or even good selection of tea houses in Madison this one is kind of hidden away on the east side Although a bit kitschy okay maybe a lot they tried to make my entire group wear various types of hats and were very strict on matching hats to the appropriate gendernnThe seating is fun because the seats are of all different varieties I really digged the mismatchiness of the place I believe that the building used to be a house so there are a bunch of different rooms which makes the tea parties feel more private and exclusive which I enjoyednnI came here for a birthday celebration and we were the only guests for the majority of the time The food was all great it was displayed beautifully and there were many choices for tea selections I did not like that you could not select which sandwiches you ordered you simply got a plate of sandwichesnnThe worst part of my experience here was the woman who I am assuming owns the place She was completely overbearing and had our tables situated so that in order to serve one half of my party she had to completely invade the personal space of the other half of my party She was not very friendly and tried to make the experience so formal that we all got annoyed pretty quickly Rather than simply letting us a group of adults enjoy our time and the company of each other she felt the need to bark orders at our tea party experience and make annoying comments I would pay extra to make her sit outside and let us serve ourselvesnnIf I had come here as a little girl for a birthday party I would have loved it
