Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Parkside

We loved having tea here! It was a wonderful place to celebrate a birthday too. Fermin made sure we had everything we needed and went above and beyond to make our experience special. Thank you Fermin!

Went for Valentine’s Day! Did the Alice and Wonderland tea and it was so good and so stinking cute!!!!!! The staff was so sweet and I never had to ask for refills of tea and they were so accommodating! Even moved my friend and I to a bigger table because we were opening gifts! I would come back for another themed tea and also drinks and breakfast. Take all your best girls and just go!!!!!!

It is always a special experience to dine at the Rotunda because it is so much a part of San Francisco history and a beautiful venue! My friend Manuel had never been there so he had a blast seeing the space and enjoying the food. Ralph, our server, was polite and attentive and the food was good as always. I do enjoy a place where I am already recognized by the hosts especially since one feels like one is being greeted by family. :)

The staff took my food allergy very seriously. They knew on the menu what was not Gluten Free, rather than having to go ask the chief. Other than pasta, almost everything was already cooked GF, which was wonderful. Great atmosphere and service as well.

A somewhat different breakfast entree - smoked polenta with pork, cilantro and seasonings. Delicious and unique. Almost better still - the best hot tea I've ever had in a restaurant. The tea itself was superior English breakfast blend but it was served truly HOT in a double-walled metal teapot with loose tea leaves infused in a basket, and the second large ceramic cup of tea was as hot and perfectly brewed as the first. As an inveterate tea-drinker, believe me when I say this was a completely singular presentation in my (usually somewhat disappointing) experience. THANK YOU.
