I have sooo enjoyed eating at Alice's, the decor is entertaining; the music is always "on" in the background. It is fun watching the special food come out on the tall trays. Ser...

The decor with the Alice in Wonderland theme was cute and appealing to my granddaughter. However, I had a major issue with the wait time. We arrived from CT at approximately 12:30...

Alice's Tea Flop 12/11/2005

Lies, lies, all lies! As a group of 10 we made a reservation weeks in advance and there was no mention of pre fix meal costing $33. This is an establishment where on the average other menu items are not even $10. Worse the manager could have cared less telling us that the credit card used to hold the reservation would be charged regardless of whether we stayed or not. All this after we waited 45 minutes after our reservation time. Needless to say we chose to leave. Pros: The shopping near by Cons: Manager, hidden fees, overall service more

ENRAGING experience! 12/11/2005

I was so excited to see that Alice's Tea Cup had opened in my neighborhood. Unfortunately, not only did my party have to wait 40 minutes to get seated; I was NOT told when I made the reservation that parties of 14 or more had to automatically order the Mad Hatter tea service ($27 per person) but I was told that I had to hold the reservation with a credit card. After our group was seated we were told that 14 Mad Hatters were on the way. I spoke with the manager, who was completely RUDE and unaccomodating. The manager refused to acknowledge the miscommunication so we were forced to leave and I was told that my credit card would be charged for 14 Mad Hatters! The entire experience was a HUGE disappointment and I have never been treated so poorly at a restaurant in all of NYC. Cons: Rude service, Understaffed, Unaccomodating more

HORRIBLE & RUDE service and exorbitant prices 12/11/2005

Alice's tea cup is a pleasant surprise when you first walk in from 64th street. However, your initial pleasant surprise quickly dimishes when you deal with the outrageously rude, slow and flamboyantly inappropriate hosts and servers. The place caters to the typical Park Avenue Moms and their 7 year old princesses as well as the Hello Kitty loving teenage girl crowd. The menu is big but ridiculously priced with $20 sharing fees and price minimums per person. All in all, you are paying for the decor, the location and the pixie dust that I think all of the servers are snorting in the back room. My friends and I will NEVER go back here because the service is a disgrace and there are just SO many better places. If you want a fun tea house with tasty and reasonably priced snacks, try Teany downtown (and you might even see Moby!) Cons: Overpriced, Rude service, Stuffy crowd more

Extraordinary find in the city! 11/18/2005

This place is just fantastic from the cute little teacups to the range of teas. And surprisingly the food was heaven. The pot of tea with two scones is a real deal especially for something that tastes GREAT!! more
