FAQS: BEFORE YOU BOOK

Before you book a reservation, please make sure you’re in the know!

IS AFTERNOON TEA A ONE-PERSON ORDER?
  • We offer a per-person prix fixe high tea menu uniquely inspired by four regional cuisines.
  • While enjoying High Tea with others is a shared experience (that we highly recommend!), an actual order of a “high tea” is for one person to enjoy.
  • There is no pressure to have the same high tea as your companion… each guest orders the high tea they want.
  • Food is presented on our three-tier trays and includes savory tea sandwiches, baked goods, and desserts.
  • Food must be consumed on the premises.
  • We do not provide to-go boxes for leftovers. This policy safeguards our guests’ health and safety.
