Awesome. The staff helped deal with my 2 y.o. niece, who likes to twirl in the middle of the dining room. All of the room was awesome, the room with the roast beef/bacon/eggs Benedict was regularly re-stocked, and help was available. The Oyster bar was slightly slow, but did not really attract from the experience, since it was delicious. A++++

We love Neverland Tea Salon because they give you a fantastic high tea experience. Beautifully furnished and decorated surroundings in a comfortable space. Impeccably presented and delicious tea sandwiches, sweets, and scones, and an extensive selection of teas from which to choose. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options are available. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful. A delightful afternoon. Also, I currently use a wheelchair and the building is level entry and fully accessible. A big plus!

Chicken Parm and Mango BBQ Pork pizzas are both must-haves! The Chicken Parm had a surprisingly (in a good way) spicy kick and the Mango BBQ countered with a rich, meaty sweetness. Our group of 5 adults started with the Antipasto Board then ordered three pizzas (both the above @ 16”, and the Cinque @ 11”). We all had plenty to eat and still had about 7 slices left for take home. With a round of drinks, coffees and tip the total was about $44/person. Pretty decent value overall and great service!
