Frequently Asked Questions

GENERAL HOURS

We are Open Wednesday through Friday 10am-4pm
Saturdays: We Serve Full Afternoon Tea Experiences only with Reservation Only Seatings at 11am and 2pm

We are closed on Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays unless otherwise posted on social media.
• Please note that the last Full Afternoon Tea Experience seating on weekdays is at 2:30pm, and the kitchen stops taking new walk-in or to go orders daily at 2:30pm unless otherwise arranged (this will NOT affect any scheduled tea reservation times or event times).

FULL AFTERNOON TEA PRICING & MENU INFORMATION

Our Full Afternoon Tea menu changes monthly and can be viewed on our website under the Menus tab, or on our Facebook or Instagram pages.

Event/Celebration Tea Experience pricing varies depending on the event. The pricing usually ranges between $30-$50/person plus 6% sales tax and 20% gratuity. The tax and gratuity will be automatically added to your bill. Please see Event page for upcoming events and pricing.

*On dates that we hold our Event Teas, there will be no General Menu served so our staff can fully accommodate the event experience.*

Upcoming Event/Celebration Tea Experiences (reservations can be made starting 30 days prior to the event and require a non-refundable $20 per person deposit to guarantee the booking)

Please arrive on time for your tea experience. We plan a maximum of 90 minutes for your reservation from the time it is set, not the time you arrive. If you arrive more than 15 minutes late, the first and second courses will be combined to give you time to enjoy your tier within the remaining allotted timeframe.

All children must be accompanied by an adult at all times and must remain seated and not allowed to roam the restaurant. There are no tables of “kids only” allowed for the sake of our guests’ experience and safety of staff and valuable décor and china. Please accompany all minors to the restroom and guide your child on proper dining etiquette.

We are able to accommodate some but not all dietary restrictions. We are usually able to accommodate Gluten Free (+$5), Vegan (+$4), Nut Free, and Vegetarian for a Full Afternoon Tea Experience if notified at least 48 hours in advance. We are not able to accommodate Dairy Free, Sesame Free, Sugar Free, Low/No Salt, Low/No Fat, No Onion/Garlic, Gluten Free plus Egg Free, Gluten Free plus Nut Free, or Grain-Free for our Tea Experiences.

Same day notifications will incur an additional $4 charge for special dietary requests, if the kitchen staff is able to accommodate the request, as will all accommodations to be Gluten Free at +$5 and Vegan at +$4.

We are a full-service restaurant. No outside food or beverages will be allowed.

SPECIAL NEEDS QUESTIONS

We are ADA friendly with handicap accessible ramp at the front, as well as handicap accessible bathrooms and seating. Our space is very limited and we will need to know if someone in your group needs a space that is ADA accessible.
