Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Van Ness

Beautiful tea service, scones were very good, however, some of the pastries were too sweet. Should try to cut down on the amount of sugar.

We chose this restaurant as an option to the Kennedy Centrr hoarders before a recent show. It was a smart move. There were five of and we chose the $75 prize fixe which was a great idea, we all hade the cioppino which , although different than the SanFrancisco soupier version, was a very generous amount of very fresh seafood of ample variety. The desserts were beautiful and elegant and not too sweet, the Blueberry cheesecake was a standout. We had a great bottle of wine from Mura Mura a fabulous boutique producer from Piemonte. It was a wonderful night even before we got to the concert. Service was efficient and friendly.

Best tea ever with awesome harpist & service & extensive tea options

Younes was our server and provided us regular attention taking care of all of our needs. Food selection and quality was outstanding. The suckling pig was great. Brisket was a bit of a miss for me but really enjoyed the Red Snapper dish. The lamb was a bit well done but the Duck Confit and leg of Iberico ham were both incredible. Seafood selection was snow crab claws, mussels, clams, oysters, lobster tails, along with sushi and sashimi. They had seafood paellas, pasta station, every fruit, bread, spread, cheese, parfait, tart, salads, omelette station, and more. The dessert was equally creative as it was decorative. There was something for everyone and I guess that's what it's all about. Highly recommend.

Excellent afternoon tea and the service was excellent!!!
