Frequently Asked Questions

PAYMENT 

Our prix fixe menu is priced at $32 per guest which does not include tax or gratuity. We accept full payments in cash or credit cards with a two credit card maximum per table. We do not accept split payments between cash and credit cards. 

​​

RESERVATION GUEST COUNT 

Reservations are plated and charged for the total number of guests submitted on the reservation. If an infant or toddler is joining and will not be participating in the full menu, please indicate in the reservation notes. 

​​

TABLE PLACEMENT

Our tea cottage is an intimate dining space and to ensure we provide the most comfortable experience, please indicate if the following are required:

  • Additional room for a stroller or carrier as we do not provide high chairs

  • Ease of access for guests using a walker, cane, or wheelchair

​

Table placement is specifically designed to accommodate all pre approved reservation notes including allergies, spacing, and celebrations. We are unable to move table placement or seating arrangements once tea service has begun. We feel each table is special. However, if you notice a more desirable table, please ask your server for the table number and you are welcome to request in advance for your next visit.

​

LARGE GROUP RESERVATIONS

We are happy to accommodate large parties and due to limited capacity, we cannot guarantee seating at one table for parties of five or more.

​

Multiple tables of two may be used to create a larger dining table, or the party may be seated at tables in close proximity to each other. We are mindful of keeping the party as close together as possible while maintaining the most efficient service flow.
