    As soon as I stepped inside I was drawn to the beautiful decor. The huge tree in the middle of the space is a great addition. I made reservations for my sister’s bday and the waitress verified whose bday it was to bring her a special tea cup. My party of 3 selected the petite high tea. Reservations require prepayment which included 20% gratuity. The staff was very friendly, and explained the menu well. We selected our 2 pots of tea and 2 sandwiches. The guava strawberry tea was delicious. The blue oolong was just ok, it tasted like black tea with food coloring. I don’t like that the entire party has to get the same sandwiches. Based on the time it takes for the items to be served it seems that they are made fresh for each table. This should allow for each person to make separate selections. After we completed our tea service no one came to close out our experience. Yes, we paid upfront for everything but I had to go find someone to ensure we were all set. Having a server come by and provide some type of final reminder that no payment is needed unless we want to make additional purchases would have been a great way to wrap up the experience. Overall, the experience is cute and provides great photo opportunities.

    This is such a cute and lovely gem in the neighborhood! We had the high tea service - the pear salad and potato leek soup and three different teas were excellent. The sandwiches and sweets were served after the meal on tiered trays and such beautiful presentation. The staff came by often to check in along with the owner, and everyone was very attentive.

    We had High Tea at Lily’s & Elise. The entire experience was simply delightful. The service was excellent and it was much more tea/food than we thought! I would definitely recommend this to anyone.
