TLDR: $75 plus tax and tip for gas station sandwiches and 7-Eleven sweets in a soulless room = the worst "afternoon trap"in Boston. The Courtyard Tea Room at the Boston Public Library is proof that you can slap a high price tag on mediocr

I celebrated my 30th birthday with my mom at the Courtyard Tea Room inside the Boston Public Library, and it was such a lovely experience. The setting itself is truly what makes it special--elegant, serene, and a calm oasis tucked right in the heart

The Courtyard Tea Room is a beautiful space tucked away within the Boston Public Library. Definitely make a reservation in advance because they book out fast. Came for some Sunday Tea and we had a wonderful experience! They take you around the worl
Fabulous High Tea Experience
Beautiful presentation, wonderful tea options and excellent service all add up to a fabulous high tea experience. If you’re really lucky, you’ll experience the rhubarb scones and have Anne as your server!
I had tea there yesterday with my husband.
It was a nice experience however for the price ($72 per person and after tip $180) it was not worth it. The room looks like a hotel lobby, photos online look better that it does in person. The tea was good, but the server who poured it for us dripped
Good yet underwhelming
Without a doubt, make a reservation! It's a little hard to find but right before the stairs to the right and check in at hostess stand. The hostess wasn't very nice, pretty short with us, and seemed annoyed to be working. This was a tre

Despite the high price tag, Food is average and not much of it compared to high teas in Europe, if you're looking for a leisurely afternoon this is not it: you're rushed in and out in an hour and a half . The staff hovers to move you along.

The afternoon tea was an incredible girls day outing! Make sure you come hungry cause the amount of food you get is a full meal. The food was unique and delicious! It was nice being able to sample some many different things. Our waiter was attentive
Good but get rid of the duck salad sandwich!
Service was great as was ambiance but one of the tea sandwiches was a big duck salad sandwich that no one liked! Should give z choice of that or something like like egg salad or tuna? The duck sandwich was inedible
Good afternoon tea experience
We had a 1 pm afternoon tea reservation. There was a coat check which was nice. You walk through the Map Room restaurant on your way to the Tea Room. The room is nice and airy and some seats have a view of the library courtyard. We started with a gla

If it had been a slightly better value I'd rate it 5 stars but at the cost it was it needed to be a bit more amazing to earn 5 stars. That said our primary server was super nice and she plus the overall team provided excellent service. The scones wer
10/10 experience and way more filling than I thought.
Honestly don't be afraid to arrive on an empty stomach because we didn't even finish everything. If you are lucky you can get a table by the windows with a view of the courtyard. My favorite afternoon tea experience thus far
For $72, we expected better food.
The room is beautiful and the service was friendly and attentive but the food was mediocre. I've had better at half the price. Such a lost opportunity to do something interesting!
Three ladies had high tea on Thursday April 25 at 1:30.
It was an incredible experience. They gave us a corner window table, felt very regal. The women server could not have been kinder. The food was yummy and plentiful. My favorites include the scones, lobster sandwiches and panna cotta! The setting feel
We spent our last day in Boston enjoying this lovely tea.
We made reservations just a few days prior after we strolled through the library, so happy my daughter suggested we try this out. Everything was delicious and I especially enjoyed the salmon spread, scone (best ever), butters and the nice assortmen
Opportunity for formal tea service in an amazing location
This is the first time I've had afternoon tea in Boston, and you almost couldn't top the McKim building for a location, make sure to wander around upstairs and into the courtyard while there. Complimentary coat check is offered. The staff was very k

Came here yesterday for the first time and it was beautiful.
The tea room itself was very cozy and spacious. Service was amazing as well. The price was $64 per person and it came with a tea option, appetizer, and the 3 tier. I was pretty stuffed towards the middle tier, so I brought my desserts home. The earl
I came here last Sunday for afternoon tea.
I made a reservation in advance since this place is quite popular. We were seated in the large beautiful tea room, I think the smaller map room is for people who are not doing the tea service. This was my first time at tea service ever and I wasn't s

I treated myself to an early birthday afternoon tea at The Courtyard Tea Room. It’s located in Boston Public Library in Copley Square inside the historic McKim building. The menu is presented in a book, which in itself was super cute. What I had
Amazing high tea!
Amazing high tea in the Boston Public Library Courtyard Cafe. Delicious food and great atmosphere. Highly recommend!
Don't go if you have food allergies
This was an almost perfect experience. Exceptional service, stunning decor, and the best damned Manhattan I have had hands down. 1. A sign saying, please stand over here, would be nice. Or a bigger sign if one is there. 2. Standing in line like I

If you're in Boston, you have to experience this at least once. Admittedly I'm more of a coffee than tea person, but I did it for the aesthetic. The tea and food were great though! The champagne was also a nice touch. I was also surprisingly full aft
Second time here for high tea, $68/person set menu.
Missed the asparagus soup and lemon poppy seed scones from last spring menu. They were better than this holiday's apple ginger soup and cinnamon scones.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to The Courtyard Tea Room Boston at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the The Courtyard Tea Room Boston page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at The Courtyard Tea Room Boston to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at The Courtyard Tea Room Boston!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
