Beautiful room. Excellent desserts. Gumbo was excellent (be prepared for spice!) Salad had way too much dressing. Good portions of both. Bread on the sandwiches was kind of hard. Maybe just too late in the day? This was our third visit and we never had that happen before. We had the Petite Afternoon Tea. Desserts would have made up for pretty much anything! All in all a fun afternoon and will definitely be back.

We had a fabulous afternoon tea. Our server Joy was wonderful. We were celebrating a joyous time of friends reconnecting and having her as our server was confirmation of the energy we felt. We will definitely be back. Every woman and girl should have a Lily and Elise experience. I wish you continued success and blessings. 🫖

This place is beautiful and the food is delicious! I felt like I was in an episode of Bridgerton. They even offered to accommodate my sister who is a vegan with plenty of vegan options. 10000% would recommend to anyone looking for a special experience!

My friend and I had such a great time. Our experience started with getting nearby parking and being greeted immediately upon entry into Lily's & Elise. The tearoom was cutely decorated from the flowering tree in the restaurant to the table settings. The service was wonderful! We enjoyed the tea sandwiches, desserts, and of course, the tea. There were many options to choose from and I hope to return to enjoy more selections. Highly recommend!

It was my second time coming. My guests came for the first time due to my birthday celebration. The waiters were very nice & patient. Everything was beautiful and I loved choosing a special tea cup for my birthday to drink from! Thank you!

This was such a fun experience! The atmosphere was charming, and the quality of the food was really good, too! The caprese sandwich was delicious. Highly recommend the experience. We did the Petite High Tea and it was perfect for my two teen daughters and myself.
