    Our server, Yasmine, was absolutely phenomenal. My friend and I look forward to tea at the Huntington Library every time, but it was made significantly better having Yasmine. She was so attentive and personable; it felt like she was celebrating with us. The food was delicious! Some standouts were the Lamb sandwich, the cucumber, and the truffle mushroom (an accommodation for my friend’s shellfish allergy). We’ve tried many teas across LA, but the Huntington’s is #1.

    I made reservations here for my sister’s birthday. We arrived early and were seated quickly. We were really impressed by the attentiveness and responsiveness of the staff member who assisted us. His name is Efrain and he went above and beyond, providing us with a ton of helpful information and making our experience truly enjoyable. His professionalism was remarkable! Does that sound good, or would you like any changes to that?

    It was a lovely tea. It was a bit noisy but still an enjoyable experience. I highly recommend it. I had the Butterscotch tea and my Mom had the Green Pomegranate Tea. They were both delicious.
