Quick Actions

Tips & Advice

  • Book your tickets well in advance, especially if you desire a private dining experience in one of the studies, as these are limited and highly sought after.
  • Consider arriving slightly before the 12:30 PM start time to take advantage of the complimentary valet parking and allow ample time to settle in.
  • While the menu offers a variety of options, note that dietary restrictions cannot be accommodated, so plan accordingly if you have specific needs.
  • Dress comfortably yet elegantly, as you'll be enjoying a refined tea experience in a historic mansion setting.
  • If attending with a group smaller than 10, ensure all members are on a single reservation to guarantee seating together at the same table.
