Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Ellington

This was my first time at Max Downtown and I’ll definitely be back!! The food was amazing and the service was even better. They were SO accommodating with a gluten sensitivity and even have GF rolls which was a nice surprise :) Our waitress and the manager went above and beyond to make a birthday special. Thank you Max team!

Beautifully designed spaces with comfortable seating. Attentive and friendly staff. Food was delicious, especially the smoked trout dip with homemade chips. International wine list is appropriately concise and offers a variety of price points. Offerings by the glass are plentiful. I can’t wait to return!

What a treat to be here, I’ve always had a great experience. Having drinks outside by the fire pit on a cool fall night, then going to a great dinner, then strolling to the Awesome side door jazz club - which always has the most extraordinary talent is really beyond compare for our quiet little town. Then consider it began in the 1850’s, this sense of hospitality and adventure combine. I just love this place.

Take Tea is always a wonderful experience! I look forward to seeing what delicious treats will be on the menu every time I go. The service, atmosphere, and food are always wonderful!
