- Confirming Your Reservation: We will email you to confirm your reservation and verify your guest count on the Thursday prior to afternoon tea. We reserve the right to cancel your reservation if you do not respond to our confirmation request(s).
- Canceling: Please give us as much notice as possible in the event you need to cancel, but at least 48 hours. Proper notice gives us the opportunity to call the next person on our wait list.
- Decreasing: We purchase and prepare food based on the number of people in your reservation. If your party size reduces, we require at least 48 hours notice. If reductions in your party size happen at the last minute, we will include on your bill the cost of those tea sandwiches (or any special dietary meal, if applicable) that have already been prepared, and you may opt to enjoy them while here, or take them home to enjoy later.
- Increasing: Adding additional guest(s) to an existing reservation requires at least 48 hours notice and is subject to seating availability. If you need to make changes, please call us to let us know: (417) 926-1827

We use 1 stand per 2-3 people. Plates of food are not delivered individually, as they are in a typical restaurant. This means if someone in your party is delayed, this will delay food service to the entire group. For these reasons, it is important that all members of your party arrive on time. Your seat will be held for fifteen (15) minutes past your reservation time. Please be courteous; If you are running late, please call to let us know: (417) 926-1827.
