Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Downtown

When we arrived at peak dinner hour (6:30) the dining are was nearly full and there were two goups (3 and 8) next to eachother and competing to talk above the other. The room is acoustically live and this was quite annoying. When the larger group left everything settled down to a very comfortable level. The food was excellent, especially the cassoulet special and the beef short rib! Service was good, especially the presentation of the cassoulet by chef Greg and his follow up visit with our table. Nice!

The food and service were perfection. Beautiful interior. Every detail was immaculate.

Enjoyed a lovely afternoon tea, perfect for catching up with a dear friend. The restaurant is light, bright, and cheery. The tea sandwiches and cakes were delicious and just right for nibbling and conversing. Our waitress was very nice and attentive, but not intrusive, and we did not feel rushed. The noise level was low enough to hear each other easily. Parking is along the street or with the valet.

I was so happy that I stumbled upon an article that listed them as one of the top places to have tea in Houston. Whenever I go out of town I try to find a place where I can have tea service and this did not disappoint. It is probably in my top two favorite places I’ve ever gone for tea. I will definitely come back for tea during a future visit and also plan to come there for dinner as well as the food smelled wonderful. It is beautifully decorated. The staff were very accommodating and offered to put our luggage in their office as we were flying out directly after tea Service. I can’t say enough about the service, the ambience and the food and drinks.

We have enjoyed the ambience. We had an outstanding pasta off the menu, which reminded me of the time spent in italy in portofino. Chef introduced himself and made a special dish for us . Loved the food. We will be back
