This Beverly Hills landmark truly understands the simple elegance and sheer fun of taking tea in the afternoon. Start with a glass of champagne, port, or sparkling cider before perusing the extensive list of Ridgeway tea, none other than what the queen herself drinks! Your server describes each variety's nuances with the insight of a good sommelier. While your pot is graciously refilled, a variety of finger sandwiches are served, followed by warm scones with cream and a triple tier of delicious sweets (double-dipped strawberries, lemon curd eclairs, pistachio shortbread, etc.). Tea in the Sunset Lounge is a most civilized break in the day, not to mention some of the best people-watching in town goes on from your balcony perch.
