Reynolds Tavern and 1747 Pub

Always a lovely experience when we come here. I had my bridal shower here a few years ago, which was very special, and come back for the high tea luncheon. The service is amazing, and very knowledgeable about food and tea pairings, and helped us to narrow down our tea selections. The food is always delicious and surprisingly very filling for tiny bites. The crab chowder is amazing. Reservations are very easy to make online. Street parking can be difficult to find, so I recommend arriving early.

Located right in the heart of Annapolis, this place was a great find for a relaxing outdoor dinner in a cool(ish) patio with string lights and music. After reading reviews, we decided we had to try it so stopped by on a Wednesday summer evening. They have an indoor tavern, an upper patio (closed in our visit), and a large lower patio. We arrived without a reservation and were greeted and our request for a table farther away from the musician (kind of loud amplification unfortunately) was granted. The large patio is nicely shaded with umbrellas some tree cover and has nice string lights. The live acoustic guitar music was a nice touch, if a little loud for those up close. The menu is varied with some nice local touches, is typical Annapolis pricing, and most importantly the food was delicious with zero complaints from our party of 4 adults. Service was helpful and not in a rush, so we thoroughly enjoyed the food and evening. Give it a go!!!

We dropped into Reynolds Tavern on Sunday night when they show old movies in the garden. It's the perfect space for a nice, chill experience like that! We had drinks and dessert. Highly recommend the bread pudding. The drinks were good, too. The atmosphere, however, was perfect, and made for a truly relaxing, enjoyable Sunday evening. We'll definitely be back when we're in town!

We had a reservation for afternoon tea. It is a lovely place. The tea room atmosphere/decor was really nice. Our tea and food was wonderful. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Love that it is right in the heart of Annapolis. Stopped down to see the pub-really neat pub atmosphere. All of our teas were delicious. The Chocolate Early Grey was really good, the birthday cake flavor was sweet without even putting sugar in it- very nice. We had a lovely time.

My mother in law and I had tea here with her sister as a girl's day. The tea was delicious, as were the finger foods served with our teas. The crab soup was amazing, and I normally don't eat a lot of soup or crab. It is in a historic part of the city, so you'll likely need to find a parking garage and walk, but the walk was nice and shaded with trees from the garage we parked at.

We stopped in for a beer in the outdoor patio area mid-afternoon. The patio was lovely and almost all tables were shaded on a hot day. Service was fast and friendly, with a decent selection of draft beers. Their menu looks great and we'd love to return to try their food.

I had High Tea at Reynolds Tavern in Annapolis this afternoon. It was a completely relaxing experience- lingering over delicious food & tea while catching up on life with a friend. So many bonuses to dining at Reynolds, aside from the tasty tea fare- historic setting, pretty tableware and outstanding service. Hats off to new owners Diane and Dave Rey for their continued commitment to this local treasure.

I have been wanting to try this place for so long. My mother in law came into town from the uk and so my wife and I took her here for a nice dinner. Took the server about 10 minutes to ask for our drink order. We waited for 45 minutes for our appetizer, asked the hostess if our server put in our order, he stormed over and was rude to us. We asked for our food to go because of how awful the experience was. The thing about it all though is if the server or manager had communicated better like hey sorry the kitchen is backed up or something we totally would’ve understood. There was nothing. Then the manager scoffed at us for questioning why we were paying full price. The manager actually didn’t do anything, wouldn’t speak to us and was just as rude as the server was. I will never come to this place ever again. Worst dining experience.

Everything about this place is so nice. You wanna dabble in a classic and simple afternoon tea experience? It's reservation only, so make sure to plan ahead. It's so classy, you can't come here underdressed. It's so homey and relaxing, it's the perfect spot for a quiet celebration or just to catch up with a friend. Definitely not a date spot unless you're both into it. More for friends 100%. I'll definitely say it's on the pricier side. I pay $44-$45 including tip. Other than tea. I typically get the same thing. Please, please, PLEASE order the Cream Crab Soup. It's so creamy, so buttery, literally melted in my mouth. The teas are always so amazing and smell so good. The tea cakes, sandwiches, and scones are all really. The only gripe that I have is the variety for the sandwiches, tea cakes, and scones. It's always the same, very repetitive. It becomes boring. I wish there were options to choose from. The only thing I become excited for is the tea and soup. Overall though, it's a very great experience. I've gone back several times and will be going again. Highly recommended if you want to try afternoon tea.

What a cute place to enjoy a spot of tea! I went for tea and lunch with one of my dearest friends and we had a great time. I had the colonial high tea which comes with tea, soup, quiche, and a tiered tray of sweet and savory treats for $30/pp. First, we had quiche, soup, and tea. The quiche Lorraine was quite tasty, but the cream of crab soup was the start of the show. It was rich, creamy, and delicious with Old Bay sprinkled on top. If I had a piece of bread, I would cleaned the bowl with it. For teas, we selected Paris - a black tea with vanilla, caramel, and hint of lemony bergamot - and strawberry rose champagne - my favorite of the two. It was floral, fruity, and aromatic. I liked it so much I bought some to take home. Then, we had our tiered tray of assorted goodies and sandwiches. The mini-desserts and quiches were good, and the sandwiches were just ok. By far, my favorite item was the cranberry-orange scone. I didn't think I liked scones; apparently, I've had bad scones in the past but this one was delicious, especially with the jam and cream. Next time, I'm ordering some of those to go. I'll be back to try more tea and more dishes.

Went to Reynold's Tavern for afternoon tea. Been wanting to try this place for a while and it was definitely worth the wait. I had the best roasted tomato soup I've ever had anywhere. Their season chocolate chip cherry scones were delightful. They have a wide selection of teas so it was hard to narrow down what I wanted but I went with the pineapple youth berry white tea and it was light and fruity. The ambience is great with all the history associated with the building and the staff is really friendly. I'd highly recommend this place.

This review is only for the afternoon tea in the tea room! I would come back to try lunch. GLOWS: - They have a huge variety of tea options! Sooo many to choose from. - The tea tower came with some nice treats, but I wish there were more savory options for the price. - Service was friendly and our server even got pictures for us

Came here to celebrate a birthday. It's a cute brick building that's been there since 1747. Parking is accessible about a block away but it is a small lot thats about $5/hr ($4.50/he and a 50 cent card charge) We ordered the Champagne Tea which was about $33pp which came with a glass of champagne, scones, sandwiches and tea cakes and obviously your choice of tea. Its like a multipurpose kinda place - it has a beer garden, a restaurant and tea service (all of which are in separate areas of the building). They have a variety of teas - black, fermented, green, white, Fruit, and a host of blends. I'm a black tea kind of girl so I had a tea called the Paris which was very aromatic and a great taste!

There are a lot of ways to dine here, but the most unique to us seemed to be the Tea Service, which we partook in. It was rather fun and very filling, despite it being "just tea." Just tea, indeed! It was a bowl of velvety cream of crab soup, a selection of sandwiches, savory tarts, and what seemed like a mountain of desserts, PLUS tea. It was really quite a lot for the price, and the food was very good. So was the tea! Everyone tried a different variety and no one regretted their choice! The seven-year-old we had with us was initially sad because she was underdressed, but she had a lot of fun with her strawberry lemon infusion, along with the rest of the goodies. So, it's kid-friendly, is what I'm getting at. But, yeah, the three adults had a blast too. It was a great time and a wonderful way to spend part of an afternoon in downtown Annapolis. If you haven't done Reynold's Tavern before, give it a go, for any meal. But, tea time is definitely the right time!

Bottom Line: A variety of dining experiences in a 276 year old building with great service. Reynolds Tavern offers lunch and dinner in their dining room, a subterranean pub and three guest rooms but I think Reynolds Tavern might best be known for its afternoon tea. On my first visit to Reynolds Tavern I went for dinner and really enjoyed the Maryland-centric menu offering favorites like oysters, Rockfish, crab cakes, fried chicken, Smithfield ham and Smith Island Cake I was wanting to return for afternoon tea and I am so glad I finally made it! I dragged my husband to afternoon tea in celebration of my birthday and I was a little worried that he might feel out of place but it was definitely a mixed crowd of families, couples and a few tables of ladies. At noon on a Saturday it was full so I think reservations for weekends are a must. The way afternoon tea works at Reynolds Tavern is that each person orders the "tea service" that would like which includes a pot of tea of tea and food. For tea, there are a variety of teas to choose from including black, green and oolong and many flavors of each variety. The accompanying food depends on which tea service you order and may include scones, little desserts, little sandwiches, cheese, soup, salad or quiche. You can also get sparkling wine with your tea service. At the time of this review tea service ranges from $16 to $39 per person so although we're talking about little finger sandwiches and dainty tea cups, this isn't necessarily an inexpensive experience. My husband I both ordered the Colonial High Tea service which included a scone, two tarts, three little crustless finger sandwiches, a variety of tea cakes and pastries, a slice of homemade quiche and of course tea. The quiche came out first and then our three-tiered of little treats arrived next. Our favorites were the quiche lorraine, mushroom tart and cranberry orange scone. Our server was Stephanie and she was excellent! She was very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. I also appreciate that she offered us paper menus because I really don't like having to handle my dirty cell phone at the table and trying to scroll through an unfamiliar menu on my small-ish screen. Reynolds Tavern dates back prior to the Revolutionary War and is located inside a beautiful Georgian style building that was once threatened by the wrecking ball in favor of a gas station. (Gasp! Sure glad that didn't happen.) Paid parking is conveniently located nearby at the Visitors' Center and Gotts Court garage.

We had originally made a reservation for dinner inside, but ended up eating outside since it was a nice night. We ordered a pear salad and an eggplant pasta dish. Overall the food was pretty good and we enjoyed the courtyard which had live music. They lost stars due to the poor service. The server just seemed kind of clueless and didn't really understand our order as she took it. She also forgot to bring a beer out that we ordered so we never got that. Not the best first impression, but I would give it another try.

My friend and I came for the afternoon tea service, we really enjoyed the food and were surprised with how full we were afterwards. The ambiance felt like we were taken back in time the tea room was decorated so warmly. The staff were kind however I wish they were able to explain the tea selection a bit further they also seemed to be rushing us through since it was quite busy.

I decided to visit for the afternoon tea service on recommendation from a friend since I was visiting town for my work, and anytime I travel I love to try local tea rooms! Seating was very prompt by a sweet and welcoming host. We were shown our table and given a QR code to see the menus. After quite some time, eventually a waitress came to our table. No greeting, no introduction, just asking "what are you ordering" from several feet away while walking towards our table. Didn't really want to be shouting across the room so I waited until she was nearer to order. There was only one other table seated at this time so no real need to rush. We ordered the Queen's and Colonial teas. Tea itself wasnt anything to write home about. No stand-out faire, desserts were far too sweet and flavorless, and unevenly portioned between my guest and I. Mini quiches were both dry and gummy. By this time the room had filled up with a very large party directly in the middle of the room, as well as every table filled around us. We were placed in a corner and felt a bit trapped since there wasnt more than a foot between chairs and tables. Our waitress never checked on us aside to silently clear out a plate in passing, meanwhile made plenty conversation with other guests. Had to flag her down well after finishing to ask for a box and check, which i understand by now it had gotten busy so it took some time. Overall left a little underwhelmed compared to other places I've been. A real shame for somewhere in such a lovely historical district.

I went for High Tea at Reynolds Tavern in Annapolis, this afternoon. It was a relaxing, feel-good experience. My friend described it as an excuse to linger over delicious food & tea while catching up on life. We got the Afternoon Tea service with a slice of homemade quiche Lorraine. The quiche was fantastic. The 3-tiered serving tower had house made scones, 3 types of finger sandwiches and select sweets. All were remarkable. Add to that: historic setting, pretty tableware and outstanding service. Hats off to new owners for their continued commitment to this local treasure.

Reynolds Tavern pleasantly surprised me, as I'm not typically drawn to tea places. However, this establishment offered more than just tea and dainty treats. I found their menu to be refreshingly diverse, which was a great change of pace. I opted for the fish and chips, and I must say it was outstanding. The crispy, golden batter and tender fish made for a delicious meal. It was far from the stereotypical offerings you might expect at a tea place. I also enjoyed the atmosphere here which exudes a unique and nostalgic appeal. It's like taking a step back in time, which adds to the overall experience. Reynolds Tavern is a delightful spot that caters to a wider range of tastes. So, even if tea isn't your go-to, the excellent food options here may just win you over.

Had afternoon tea with one other person. We got the colonial tea and the afternoon tea options. In addition to the typical afternoon treats, the colonial tea option came with the quiche. The quiche (both the mushroom onion one and the one in the afternoon set) were salty. The cranberry orange scones were surprisingly not as orange flavored, which i was hoping for anyways. Thee afternoon tea sandwiches were ok. They weren't completely filled so I felt a little cheated by them. Most of the desserts on top were good. I could have done without the almond and the biscuit. The hummingbird dessert was my favorite! The shepherd's pie was the highlight of the meal. The beef was tender, it wasn't salty like the afternoon tea savory items, and the potatoes were perfect.

This is a very historic circa 1747 Tavern pub and excellent restaurant. The food was fantastic. I tried the Cajun sausage shrimp, linguine Lafayette and it was absolutely delicious. Compliments to the chef. I also tried the fried green tomato platter and that was also very impressive. The service was top-notch and it wasn't very busy on a Thursday evening around 5 o'clock. I'll be back to visit next time. I'm in Annapolis..

Had a very strange & rather unpleasant experience here with a very ornery server. Tea was fine, scones were good, the rest of the food was mediocre. Confused after reading all the positive reviews.

This place is my favorite place to get Afternoon tea! The prices are great compared to the surrounding places that offer afternoon tea. The food on the lunch menu is amazing too. So far I've tried the fish and chips 10/10!! The fish had a nice crunch to it and do not get me started on how delicious the cream of crab soup is. If I lived closer I think I would always be here every week to enjoy the afternoon tea and the food. When you come here you'll be surprised that it is inside a historical house and but also end up feeling so cozy and warm once you get comfortable.

Review from early 2020 pre-pandemic. This restaurant has some historical background to it. It has two levels, one downstairs that has more of that tavern feel. But when we came, we were seated on the upper level. The layout on the upper level has that tea/cafe feel. Their white tablecloths on the table and their pastries are served on a cute metal rack. The waiters were all dressed up. I felt like I was underdressed... I ordered their shrimp and grits (see photo). Although the portion size was pretty small, the food was delicious. The best shrimp and grits I ever had. Everything was seasoned. Sometimes I get shrimp and grits with the grit not seasoned. Not the case here. The reason for the 4 stars is the apathetic attitude of the servers. Anytime we asked a question it felt like we were inconveniencing them. We had to flag down the server to get the check. Parking situation is typical Annapolis, where you have to find parallel street parking.

Had an enjoyable experience here. I believed we had the high tea. Our order came with tea of course and there are several options from which to choose. We also had mushroom quiche, desserts, sandwiches and scones. The quiche was very tasty. The sandwiches and desserts were ok. There was nothing wrong with them but nothing necessarily stood out about them either. The tea was good. The atmosphere was nice and was what I expect from a tea house. The service was very good. The young lady who served us was very friendly and did a great job. I found off paid street parking around the corner a few blocks away. The time limit was 2 hrs maximum. It took me sometime to find parking especially since I am not familiar with the area. I didn't come across any parking lots or garages but that's worth looking into before you visit.

This place offers a unique and historical throwback to eating breakfast and lunch. Here are some things I learned: 1) Make a reservation! My sister and I got lucky on our impromptu visit here but we got a table in the middle of the restaurant. If you want that scenic Bridgerton feel, getting a table by window or front room of the restaurant is ideal 2) All afternoon tea come with the standard scone and tower of sandwiches (small) and small cakes. I got the Colonial afternoon tea, which comes with an additional plate of quiche. I freaked out and thought the colonial only came with the quiche...whoops! All the afternoon tea also come a with a pot of delicious hot tea - pinkies up! 3. I came hungry and ordered the Shepherd's Pie which was so so so good! The meat was tender and sauce was tasty and it was flavorful! Not salty and everything was just cherry on top! So good and highly recommend It was a nice experience and I hope to try this place again!

The food was just ok. The tea was good. However there were mice in the dining room. We saw 3! When I told our server, she and the other server were not surprised or concerned. They did look around to see if they could see them. She quickly brought our bill. After seeing the third mouse I did not want to stay any longer anyway. We were not able to finish our tea. The thought of mice being a norm there is very unappetizing as sugar cubes are left out on tables etc. I won't be going back again, I'm sorry to say.

The tea was delicious. I sipped on the PG tips which was a very strong black tea. The chocolate cherry scones were scrumptious. The finger sandwiches were okay kind of dry. There was a ham, egg salad and cucumber sandwich. The champagne tea included a glass of champagne which was a nice touch. There were so many desserts! I don't even remember what the server said they were but they were delicious! The server was very patient with my party of 5 as we waited for the rest of the table to arrive. It was a very small room that managed to fit a lot of tables and at one point the room was packed with people that it was kind of hard to hear my table mates. Overall I would return it was a nice afternoon tea outing.

Service was good. It is a nice place to go for afternoon tea. The food was good and just the right portions.

If you like historical spots that give you a "Bridgerton" feel, this is a great place. I can only speak to the lower level, but we found the atmosphere to be fancy and very intimate. The tea and sandwich plates were a big hit with our group. The servers were great and handled our large birthday group with ease. I ordered the steak frites for dinner and the only other person in our group who ordered food tried the crab cake sandwich. Although decent, the food wasn't as good as we had hoped and is what prevents a five star rating. It's not bad by any means, but just wasn't anything special. Overall this place is enjoyable for the look and the tea/sandwiches. If you are in Annapolis, it's worth a visit.

Excellent atmosphere and choice of teas served in a teapot. Delicious sweet treats if you order. Sandwiches are available also. Good service too!

Had a catch up dinner with an old friend. Service was outstanding! I had the wedge salad, French onion soup and a cranberry mule. Both were great. The salad had spiced pecans with a touch of heat that paired well with the cold lettuce and creamy blue cheese dressing. Finished off the meal with a piece of Smith Island Cake to go. Would definitely go back.

Hi, class food in a very historic environment. Many luminaries have Dine here and many historic events have occurred within this taverns walls. The staff couldn't do enough for us and the food was absolutely delicious.!

My wife and I love coming to Annapolis to walk around the town and try out different restaurants. Today we landed on Reynolds Tavern and had an early dinner in the beer garden. It was a perfect day to sit outside in the shade of the trees and umbrellas with nice music playing in the background. Our server was great, the food came out quickly, and it was tasty. My wife got the Sheppard pie, we got a brie for an app, and I got the salmon gyro. The salmon gyro was stuffed with a piece of salmon that weighed probably 6-8 Oz, the sauce was perfect, as were the cinnamon and sugar sweet potato fries. I wish restaurants here would serve marshmallow dipping sauce (fluff) with sweet potato fries as it's a game changer. :)

This was a nice high tea but the hot food was great the cold food was just okay. There wasn't a lot of choices for what to change in price fix menu- I'd be fine if more of it was very good (I'm not sure if I'd go back because I know I'd be stuck with a lot of okay) Tea was good one I liked more than the other and the server didn't tell us the tea would curdle with cream... but okay. I enjoyed the ambiance and the soup and quiche. You come here to enjoy someone's company and I did that. Also I found prices fair. I wanted to host a party here I've heard good things about that, but I'm unsure if I would. Dress was super casual I put on a fascinator and dress, most people were in sweats or jeans.... I thought that was odd actually but, A note really that dress code isn't enforced/expected. I've been to a couple other tea experiences this was in the middle of those in rankings. It is kid friendly.

Great atmosphere! Truly appreciate the wide assortment of items. The server was super understanding of our need for vegetarian substitutions. I would recommend for the experience.

I love the historical nature of this building. They have a room that takes you back to colonial times with a fireplace. We stopped in for lunch and they have some good sandwiches. Try the grilled meatloaf sandwich. Pretty good.

Delicious food, and a beautiful spot to eat. This place is all the cute and even more of location and atmosphere. This past Monday my hubby and I ventured into Annapolis for dinner it was a beautiful day! So happy we landed down there to enjoy this beautiful evening. We were a little confused about the entrance but the lady who came up to greet us was super helpful. She walked out to the back patio area where late lunch. W as being served. We now know, walk around the back and from there that is where you get you seated. Service was great! We were given some suggestions and I landed on the shepherds pie and my hubby did the salmon gyro....I will be doing that next time for sure!! I also had a small glass of wine. It was prefect. Great and food and my hubby :) we will most definitely be back to this spot as we live visiting and walking and exploring Annapolis!

We went for afternoon tea for my mother in laws birthday. It was enjoyable to choose different teas. Four of us ordered afternoon tea (tea+2 scones) and one ordered sweet tea (tea+desserts). The tea was hot and delicious. The scones were served with clotted cream and jam. They were tender and delicious with the cream and jam. The two salads and shepherds pie were delicious! The two crab cakes were average - not lump and bland. Overall a good time and the tea was the highlight!

Perfect ambience and atmosphere while you're visiting Annapolis. We didn't stay here, but visited the bar during lunch hours and stayed longer than we planned because we enjoyed the bartender so much!

This historic building houses a tavern which serves great food. On this visit, my wife and I ordered the Colonial High Tea selection which includes one of these options, salad, quiche or cream of crab soup. Other choices are at an additional cost. Service provided by Noah was impeccable, friendly, courteous and attentive. The next time when we come back, we'll definitely select the regular lunch menu. In sum, we highly recommend this place for its ambiance, food and service.

I hate to post a bad review because the tea service is quite good, but truly not a friendly place especially if you have children. They had open tables and refused to seat our family of 5. We have a 6 year old and then adult children, but our party of 5 was too large. We offered to split up, but they refused.

I love the warm old time ambiance. The sly fox pub downstairs is great too! It has a warm fire in winter and an outdoor garden in summer and fall.

I ordered the Champagne Tea and picked the Buckingham Palace Garden Tea Party for my pot of tea. We loved this spot! It's nestled into a building from the 1700s and felt like a very authentic (and affordable) afternoon tea experience. The plain scone with clotted cream and the mushroom tart were the standouts from the afternoon tea portion!

My friend and I visited Reynolds Tavern after watching a TikTok that recommended this place for the "charm". Upon walking in, the place gives very creepy vibes. You can tell that the place was built in 1742 (it has all of the same run down interior). It was not what I expected or what the pictures online show. I was unnerved sitting inside (the dining room had cracks in the ceiling and it did not look clean, it gave off a haunted vibe). We asked to be seated outside to escape the weird atmosphere and was made to wait 5 minutes because there was a waiting list (but there were plenty of tables outside). After inquiring about the history of the building to the waitress (asking if the place was haunted) and reading the website and menu, it only mentions that it was a historic spot in Annapolis and listed all of the good things that happened. Upon leaving there is a letter on the wall that states that the taverns front porch was used for slave auctions and that slaves built the tavern. There are also many artifacts displayed that were found from the slaves under the house. Very bad history and the food was mediocre. The drinks were good.

Great old school piece of Americana in the heart of Annapolis. Shepherds pie is perfect. The basement downstairs is the kind of place you feel like drinking pints of beer while performing feats of strength...great spot!

ABSOLUTELY my favorite place for afternoon tea time now! They offer a few options for the afternoon tea. I usually choose the high tea and enjoy every bit of it! Their scones are so delicate and so tasty. I love the selection of their sweets as well. You have a wide range of tea to choose from and the tea pot is so large. I can never finish it. I definitely recommend this place for afternoon tea!

We had a nice afternoon tea experience at Reynold's. It was $23 per person which included tea of course and a three tiers of goodies to share. Overall, our waitress was friendly and helpful. My main complaint is that it seemed to take a while for us to get anything, from our tea down to the food and to the check. There happened to be an exodus of diners when we arrived since we came late in the afternoon so there didn't seem to be an overwhelming number of diners. I think it took over 35 mins to get the food, by which point I was starving. Then it took another long time when we were waiting for the bill as well. The scones were good but the pastries were overall a bit too sweet for my palette. The tea sandwiches were good but pretty simple - cucumber, ham, and egg salad. Nothing to quite write home about. Will we be back? The ambiance was nice but I might skip on the afternoon tea and try something else next time or try the outdoor patio seating.

This review is for the the stay. I was traveling and working remotely for a few weeks. I stayed at another BNB prior for 2 days with my son before he attended an event at the US Naval Academy then started my 8 day/7 night stay smart Reynolds Tavern. I stayed in the Mary Reynolds Room. Every morning the breakfasts were amazing. The menu was fixed. It came quickly. They started you off with coffee or tea and juice and/or water. The room was reset everyday with waters for the day. The internet worked great and even though they are busy for tea and the evenings there is no noise in the room. The Tavern is centrally located and walkable to everywhere. It's a great home base if you don't want to have to rent a car. I was able to get to the city dock in less than 10 minutes and the Naval Academy in less that 15 minutes. Wes and Marilyn are gracious hosts. They make it feel like a second home. The beer garden in the back was a nice surprise and the music in the evenings was an added bonus. I will be staying here for any future trips to Annapolis.

Visiting friends for the boat show and stopped for a late lunch. Drinks were not well-balanced. Food was excellent in flavor and preparation. Got the tiki Marsala and it was delicious. With the way the world is, service was spotty but considering our services was well done. I would go back but not for cocktais

My first time doing a High Tea. One word... AMAZING! It was an awesome first experience. I ordered the Champagne Tea. It came with a glass of Champagne and Chocolate Truffle, followed by the afternoon tea. The afternoon tea consists of pastries, sandwiches, scones, and a pot of loose tea of your choosing (I ordered the Cupid's Arrow). You can also order lunch in the tea room (I didn't) I was full from the tea and other items. I will be patronizing this establishment again!

Very disappointing experience with afternoon tea. Husband took our young daughter there for her birthday. Staff ignored them, serving other parties before them despite them arriving later. Brought food out on tiny plates instead of the beautiful towers all others got. Only table that didn't have a beautiful tea pot. Maybe these things don't matter to everyone, but they make a world of difference to a little girl. Shame on Reynolds.

I don't think it place is appropriate for active and energetic kids but for the more meek and mild I can see it. It's a very low energy vibe come to sip tea and eat egg salad and ham sandwiches and small pastries all day. Not my style but it was cute as my daughter said it's literally a Victorian home turnt tea shop. I would have liked various tea flavors perhaps and the option of coffee for adults

Please do not listen to this review we were there at the same time and this woman was horrible the mother of the child was being very polite and explaining that she could do it herself without a changing table. However the woman who wrote this review was being rude and very demanding that this restaurant have " accommodations" for children even tho it's a 200 year old building. This restaurant is an amazing experience even when people aren't very polite.

A charming spot for High Tea in a historical building. Great service and a lovely experience!

Cute spot for some girl bonding over Victorian tea. It was quite pricey for the amount we got but unique experience. Food: cute finger foods. The soups were delicious, best crab soup around! The portions are very small and it only comes with 3 sandwich halves. The spinach tart was the best out of the savory platter. I got their seasonal candy cane tea. Not the best but not the worst. Service: small setting, slow service. They do not split checks here!!

So we went we thought for a drink downstairs which was a really neat little basement then wandered upstairs for hi tea. Wow what a great idea the service was quick and so cordial. The tea was hot and delicious and the pastries sandwiches and scones were Devine. In fact we bought more scones for breakfast the next day. The price was reasonable for what we got for example we live near Victoria BC and had same tea service at Empress hotel it was good but 2 as much money and the building didn't have half the history as Reynolds Tavern. I would say give it try. Life's too short
