Church Keys Wine Bar & Restaurant — Restaurant in Boston

I visited here for the first time with a large party of people for afternoon tea. The building is full of character, very old but so well decorated. The room we were in was upstairs and completely on the slosh which was fun! The afternoon tea was lovely and there was plenty for all, even offering a vegetarian option. The only minor I would mention and this is more of a suggestion, would be to have lighter desserts. There were sandwiches, cheese and fruit scones and then lots of cake items including muffins, Victoria sponge, chocolate cake, Bakewell cake, pastry swirls, turron, biscuits and a peanut brittle.
