This is a luxurious place to spend a relaxing couple of hours. Afternoon tea is served in the elegance of the Peninsula Lobby. This expansive room with 21-foot windows is warmed with green, yellow and cream. The spacious Lobby is intimate with tables set wide enough apart to feel you are not encroaching on anyone else’s conversation. A small balcony holds a cello and violin duo and fills the room with classic sounds. Tea service includes a delightful mix of scones, savories and sweets with a pot of tea. They offer a selection of thirty-two Mighty Leaf Teas plus proprietary blends. The Wedgwood China teapots and serving pieces our treats arrived on compliment the atmosphere perfectly. The lobster sandwich is divine. Lobster and shrimp blended with peas and fennel; this is a highlight for me. Our attentive server heard me say how much I liked it and brought us two more sandwiches. Another surprise was an orange soufflé brought to us, au gratis. A superb experience I look forward to having again.

My friends & I experienced a marvelous Afternoon Tea. It may not be the cozy little tearoom with lace curtains but you feel like a queen. Starting out with 2 types of scones, shortbread & Raspberry linzer, followed by a marvelous cream pot, fresh assortment of savories on different breads consisting of smoked salmon with pistachio cream, sage roasted mushrooms,
and truffled goat cheese quiche.
Pastries were delectable eclairs,cream puffes and more.
Large selection of teas, black, scented black, classic green & tisanes.
Cost was $36.
Would I go back? In a heartbeat.

I went here around May 2007. The food was excellent and tea was excellent. They also replenish the sandwiches/tea cakes at no additional charge, if you wish to have more. Ambience is more formal than other tea rooms.
