My Mom threw my bridal shower here and from day one the owner was cold and made it a very uncomfortable experience. I have always loved the Dunbar since I was a little girl and I thought that my bridal event there would have gone a lot differently. When visiting before booking, we had lunch there and when leaving we started asking some questions and off the bat the owner seemed rude and uninterested. We gave her the benefit of the doubt that it might’ve been a bad day and since I loved the spot we still decided to go with the venue for my shower. Then in the months to come when we asked questions to the owner about balloons, set up of the room, the number of tables, and table cloths (which are all normal things to have questions about when you are having an event at a venue) she acted as if we were so bothersome to her. She even seemed demeaning to my mother stating “she already stated this information in her contract” after asking a simple question and she was so just so unhelpful. It seemed as if we were tip toeing around her when WE were paying her to host this event. If you are running a tea shop you would think you would have a passion for making peoples celebrations of big milestones in their life important and special and Kate could not of cared less nor did she even greet us to say hello when we arrived or ask if we needed anything the entire party we were there she sat at the bar the entire event and when leaving she did not even bother to wish us well or goodbye or anything. As a business owner myself I was disgusted with the way she treated us when we could not have been anything but nice to her and were supporting HER business. It is sad that Dunbar is ran by someone who is not passionate and does not care for their customer service. There are many beautiful tea rooms that I would highly recommend so when planning an event I would look elsewhere.

I have dined here on a busy Sunday and on a quieter Thursday and no matter how busy it is there, the service is excellent and food is served quickly. Staff is so lovely and helpful. I very much appreciate their vegetarian option for afternoon tea! My mom said the curry chicken salad was good. And every tea I have tried is delicious! Highly recommend. I am already looking forward to my next visit

Take your chances and just go. I've never made reservation svand have been seated in less than 10 minutes. Even if you wait the experience is so marvelous the wait was worth it. Charming, calming, you feel like royalty. Enjoy
