Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Riverside

Always a great experience for Holiday Tea at The Drake! We've been coming here for 20+ years. Last couple of times Amir was our server and he's exceptional.. always kind, smiling, and excellent service. Bojan the manager was very kind and accommodating and is a great addition to the Drake team. See you next year!!

My mom and I came here for afternoon tea for their chocolate holiday theme, our first time, and we loved it. Really nice inside, food was delicious, tea assortment was nice, and dessert was yummy.

Would recommend loose leaf tea rather than tea bags. Need more savory items. Food was average. Beautiful and great service. Expensive for what you get- recommend adding scones.

The best, nothing more to say. Never dissapoints.

This has become our new Christmas Eve tradition! From the moment we walked in, the festive atmosphere was absolutely enchanting, with stunning Christmas decorations that added such a warm, cozy touch. The food was nothing short of spectacular—each dish was beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. The service was impeccable as well; our server was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. It's rare to find a place that excels in every area, but the Colonial Room at the Drake in Oakbrook truly does. Whether you're here for a holiday gathering or just a special meal, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommend!
