Afternoon High Tea

AN INCOMPARABLE SETTING FOR TEA WITH FRIENDS.

Enjoy a relaxing and refreshing afternoon with friends in a palatial setting! 

As you enter through the massive, heavily carved front door, you’ll be greeted by the Owner in the splendid foyer, resplendent with richly burnished cherry wood paneling, carved colonnades, a floor-to-ceiling grand mantle crowned with the bust of Shakespeare, stained glass windows on every side, and a richly-patterned mosaic tile floor.

Afternoon tea is served in the Zuber Parlor and Dining Room of the mansion, with intimate seating in groups of two to six people per table. The Zuber Parlor is a spectacular room with rare and historic scenic wallpaper, a beautiful bay window with stained glass, and a grand fireplace mantle. The richly paneled dining room features golden English oak woodwork and paneling, a Belle Epoque crystal chandelier, and exquisitely detailed parquet floor. Period-appropriate antiques decorate both rooms.

Tables are set with fine bone china, silver flatware, and a tiered server laden with delicacies. Our house specialty tea blend of premium orange pekoe leaves is served to accompany a delectable selection of traditional savories, finger sandwiches, and sweets. Warm homemade scones with lemon curd and Devonshire cream complete the repast. You may also enjoy a glass of sparkling champagne or a champagne cocktail while dining.

After the tea, your knowledgeable hostess is available for a tour of the main floor of the mansion, and to answer questions you may have.

Afternoon tea is arranged by reservation only for groups of 10 or more. Full high tea is priced starting at $30 per person, depending on your menu choices; a lighter offering of tea and scones is also available priced at $18 per person. Champagne and champagne cocktails are priced separately at $10 per glass. Call today to make your reservation!
