Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Victory Heights

This is a one of a kind, Seattle experience, that should not be missed. But be warned, if you go once, you will want to go back, all the time, . . . As does all of Seattle. So it can be hard to get a reservation. Plan ahead. For this particular time, we made a reservation a week to a week and a half, and did not get the timeframe we wanted. But if we had got the timeframe we wanted, we would’ve had to wait over a month. Doesn’t matter, so worth it fantastic food, fantastic ambience, totally world class experience. So proud to have some thing like this, at this level of excellence, here in Seattle. I’m almost always order the afternoon tea / high tea experience. Yes you will be shocked at the price. But it is not the most expensive in town by a longshot, BUT it is the best! The owner of this place knows what they’re doing, it feels so very authentic. Service is so kind and friendly, you just don’t want the moment to end. But you will have to leave, and you can go to the store down the street to buy a Momento, . . . A very, very cool Momento, and reminder of the wonderful moment that you had there. My whole family can’t wait to go, and want to go there for every celebration, . . . And when I say, whole family, I mean me, (the wife), my husband (will not let us go without him), my teenager (who feels very grown-up), my grade schooler (This is his favorite birthday celebration place, and he asks for it every year.), and my mom, who introduced me to the place. You have not fully experienced the best ofSeattle if you have not been here.

Afternoon tea was amazing! The staff were all super friendly and helpful. You get plenty of food and will (likely) leave without eating all of it.

As soon as we arrived, we were greeted and seated at a lovely table that was beautifully set with charming china. The menu was extensive and the tea selections were amazing! The server was knowledgeable about the offerings and we were served promptly. Everything was delicious! There were sandwiches, scones, fruit, cupcakes, and macarons, all of which looked like a painting! The cream cheese frosting was light and fluffy, making my mouth water! We will definitely go back!

We had a quiet Wednesday lunch here. What was good ... An intriguingly curated cocktail menu - we wanted to try them all! The best fries we have ever had - seriously! Worth the visit just to try them. My wife had an outstandingly good Wagyu beef burger. Service was excellent - Jorge is a star! Ambience - it's an airy open restaurant in the lodge and of course in a beautiful setting. What was moderate ... I had a a cauliflower steak with mushrooms and a cauliflower / mushroom puree. It was good, but just a little bland. I'd have liked a dash of something sharp / spicy to add some lift, but then I do like a kick in my lunch. Nevertheless it was good and nicely prepared and presented. And nothing bad at all. An excellent lunch and good value too. Definitely going again, but I may watch the menu for changes in the vegetarian option.

Fabulous! We love celebrating with a beautiful tea experience and this is by far our favorite place! Outstanding!
