Afternoon Tea
How It Works
Coming in for afternoon tea can be an absolute delight. We do our best to provide a relaxing tea experience for our guests. As we want to introduce the art of tea to all, we are here to teach tea room etiquette to any who wish to learn. As such, we are a little more informal than many tea rooms and do not have a dress code or age requirement. We do ask for reservations so we can make sure we can provide the best service possible and accommodate any food allergies for the party.
We do love our younger guests, but we do ask that there is one adult for every three children as there is a lot of hot tea and china and we want to keep our little ones safe.
We have a policy of adding a 20% gratuity to all tables of 6 or more guests
