boston tea party is one of my favourite places in birmingham. in the heart of the city, btp is a great place to relax alone or have a nice time with friends. thestaffis always extremely friendly, the food is great and the ambience is amazing.
i recommend trying the raspberry and mango smoothie.
during the weekends it tends to get quite packed and i don't think they take reservations. during one of my visits the service was a bit slow, as it was a saturday and it was packed, so one of my friends ended up only getting their food after the rest of us had already finished.
even though the prices are a bit high for my wallet, i do think it's worth it for the overall experience you get.
