The Living Room

Set inside The Peninsula Beverly Hills, service unfolds across lounge seating and dining tables with menus spanning afternoon tea, Continental fare, and American dishes. The tea service pairs courses with a glass of champagne or sparkling cider, strawberries and cream, and lemon curd, alongside dedicated nut-free pastries for allergies. While staff dote on special celebrations, diners occasionally disagree on the sweets, with high marks for presentation but mixed reviews from those comparing the spread to classic European high teas.
