WE ARE OPEN!

NEW BUSINESS HOURS

We are opened for indoor and sidewalk dining! New business hours are Thursday to Sunday. Reservations strongly recommended as seatings are limited following social distance protocols.


We continue to offer Afternoon Tea in a Box for takeout during business hours. Preordering is required. Thank you everyone for your patience. We can't wait to see you again!



NEW PRICES

For us to sustain the business as we recover slowly, Afternoon Tea in a Box is now $28. The minimum for (dine-in) Afternoon Tea service is $28 per person, $20 per child (10 years and under).



SIDEWALK DINING

Please request for sidewalk/outdoor dining in your online reservation. We do not have outdoor heaters so please dress warmly or feel free to bring your favorite blanket. Sidewalk reservations are weather permitting, and subject to cancellation if weather is unsuitable (you will be notified in advance).

DISPOSABLE MENU & CONTACTLESS PAYMENT

Everyone will get a disposable menu. Please use hand-sanitizer before using the pens provided. No cash payment at this time.

RING FOR SERVICE

For extra safety, staff will limit checking in on your party while you enjoy your tea service. Please use the bell to ring for service (for more hot water, napkins, etc).

PLEASE BE KIND

We are doing the best we can in this uncertainty. Please be patient with us as we navigate this game of musical chair in a very limited space. 

Indoor & sidewalk dining available in 3 seatings: 11:00 AM, 1:15PM & 3:30PM
