    Our group of 12 visited Silver Dove and had a wonderful experience. Booking for our larger group was extremely easy via OpenTable. Because our group was on the larger size, without prompting, they reached out and offered us an additional 30 minutes on top of their 90 minute seating time. Service was impeccable, everyone was friendly and helpful and they were very organized and efficient, bringing out all of our food for each part of the service at the same time. The space was bright, comfortable, and clean. If you are coming from out of town (we were not) Silver Dove is conveniently located downtown, near plenty of Boston history and tourist attractions. It is directly across from the Saloniki, but hard to easily spot - look at the windows for their logo! Everyone enjoyed their tea selections - hot and iced - and the food was delicious. Several people in our group are gluten free and it was so nice not to have to worry about cross-contamination - if you didn't know you wouldn't be able to tell everything was gluten free. I personally was blown away by the taste and texture of everything and will absolutely be bringing my friends and family for afternoon tea! Thank you Silver Dove for a wonderful experience - we hope to come again!
