Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Sunset District

The ambiance was perfect and stunning! Definitely my favorite spot with beautiful Saturday live piano music! The food was absolutely great, beautifully presented , and the oysters we ordered were fresh. It was a delightful afternoon tea experience with a variety of teas and pastries. The service was impeccable, highlighting the friendly and professional staff, especially thanks to Tessa. She is very passionate, providing us with every single detail about this place and the food . Definitely a great spot for a weekend getaway or special celebration with friends or family.

The Laurel Court completely exceeded our expectations. It’s hard to know what you’re going to get at a hotel restaurant. Even at a Fairmont! All 8 of us were extremely happy with our lunches. Club sandwiches, Caesar salad, a bruschetta appetizer, side salads, hot and fresh french fries. Everything was delicious. It isn’t inexpensive, but we had a lovely time and will absolutely come back the next time we have an occasion to!

Beautiful atmosphere..they gave us the vast corner view of Union square..very elegant feeling. Service and waiter was efficient. Ordered petrale sole with Israeli couscous which friends say was good ( looked good!), chopped salad which was plentiful and the huge burger was as advertised. Also don’t forget the the complimentary broth and the popover and the strawberry butter! Would go again even tho prices a tad high.

Food were nothing special. Very comfortable seating. Service was ok.

What a charmingingly beautiful place to have tea or brunch with someone special. Every part of the meal is thoughtfully prepared and the overall ambience is high effort.
