Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in San Anselmo, San Francisco Bay Area

This is a beautiful room, in a beautiful hotel, but the food is just so sub par in flavor and options, and really overly expensive. The service is good; lots of waitstaff buzzing around. We went to brunch here to celebrate my sister’s birthday, and paid $45/ea for a brunch that is just barely a step above from the free continental breakfast you’d get at a lower end Marriott or Hilton property. Actually, I think it’s the same pastries available here as it is in the free Courtyard breakfast buffet. Such a shame that the less than mediocre food, kinda but a damper on an otherwise fun birthday weekend at the hotel. Had we known the food wasn’t going to be great, we’d have dined elsewhere in SF. That’s my recommendation: eat elsewhere at the myriad of better and probably similarly priced nearby restaurants.

Afternoon tea here was lovely. This is my favorite room in the city, just gorgeous with all the old-world details, so I was happy to take my mom here as a thank you. The sandwiches are among the best tea sandwiches I have had, and the sweets were pretty good. This would be a perfect review if the price weren’t so high. Over $300 for the two of us? Wow.

Great dining experience on this restaurant, the food is amazing and we loved to go back more often.

The kitchen and quality of service equal the highest standards and best, longstanding memories of the tradition of dining there.

It was amazing. I arrived during happy hour and took advantage of the drinks and bites on the menu. The sliders were top notch and I asked if the bartender could do a twist on the Negroni making it a “white Negroni”. He did and it was literally one of the best drinks I’ve ever had.
