Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Aliso Viejo / Laguna Niguel

The restaurants atmosphere is warm and inviting. Every detail from the eclectic stemware, gold cutlery and fresh garnishes made the experience so thoughtful. Our server was very attentive but also gave us space as we leisurely made our way through the meal. Starting the meal with the fresh biscuits is a must! Every dish we ordered was full of color and flavor making the experience very uplifting.

Waitress was a little confused and initially brought the wrong tea. She was apologetic and may have been new. My only complaint is there was a small dog at the table near us that was barking off and on. Felt they should have been asked to take the dog out of it couldn’t behave or stop barking. Luckily it was towards the end of our time there but feel bad for others who just got there. Other than that had a great time and enjoyed the food.

Raya never disappoints.....The window view, the service, Joel the waiter and all the table waitstaff are outstanding at their profession. The enchiladas stuffed with seafood, the Caesar salad and the cappuccino accompanied by warm churros and pumpkin ice cream leave a palate that urges me to make my Valentine reservations. Yum!

We enjoyed the Christmas Brunch and also celebrated a birthday.The selection of food was delicious and high quality, with excellent service. The staff went out of their way to acknowledge and wish happy birthday and provided delicious present of macaroons to go, as a gift. Wondering experience.

It was a lovely afternoon. I think it’s a bit expensive for what it is but it’s nice none the less.
