    We do not host private events in the tea room.

The Getty does have strict rules and regulations for group celebrations, we ask that all guests celebrating special occasions be mindful of others who are joining us for Tea and for security purposes, all wrapped packages are not permitted on museum grounds, also no special decorations are allowed on the tables.

    It wasn't easy getting a reservation because there is only 1 seating 2 days of the week. The service was amazing and the food/tea was really nice, great value. My only wish was for a nicer ambiance. The room feels a bit like a conference room. However, the view is lovely.

    I was expecting this to be a magical venue for afternoon tea. The carpeted room we were in was not inviting especially with half the room empty. The service was lacking and had to constantly ask for more tea. I was so excited to go to this reservation with all the build up but would not go back.

    Tea felt very private, in a quiet banquet room overlooking the Vila with instrumental music in the background. Music was a bit depressing at first, then was changed to Bridgeton type music. All you can drink teas, highly recommend the house lavender tea. Sandwich and sweets were nice.

    The food, and the service were exceptional. However, the tea room itself needed some upgrade.
