5 star experience... Delicious tea sandwiches. Yummy sweet treats. (those Guinness chocolate cupcakes (o.m.g!) Love the cheddar/chive scones. Everything exceeded our expectations. We had the most delightful experience. The Inn is lovely old New England. First time there and for tea...I will be back for other fun themes.

We absolutely loved the afternoon tea! I'm a bit of a connoisseur and love going to tea, and this one was one of the best I've been to. The theme was adorable and they paid attention to every detail. The ambiance and decor of the room was so charming and fun, we went for my mom's birthday and she felt very special and the staff were so kind and gave her a little dessert with a birthday candle. The food was incredibly good and the cocktails were so worth adding to the tea experience! I can't describe how good the sandwiches and dessert were but we loved every bite. The staff were so sweet offering to take a photo of us together too. A beautiful place for a special occasion!

Very pleased with the quality and preparation of the food. Service was good. We were in the small room where the bar is, which was quite homey and vintage New England looking, and not too loud. We went to the Side Door jazz club attached for a show after dinner, and it was excellent as usual. Great little music venue.

My new favorite place for brunch And the music was superb as well!

Fun place to eat before seeing a jazz show at The Side Door. Great service and ambience.

Imagine being seated in a dinning room with only 8 tables, mid 19th century country inn, three piece acoustic jazz playing in the background. It’s a Sunday late morning Jazzy Brunch. Excellent, professional service. Eclectic brunch menu, creative Prosecco based fluted cocktail. Whether you were an Inn guest or just stopping by for Jazzy Brunch (as we did) the ambience sets the tone for the entire day. A Sunday Jazzy Brunch at Old Lyme Inn is magical.
