Palm Court

Beautiful setting, old charm, and live harp playing in the background made for a delightful multigenerational afternoon tea. The tea was amazing, the service was top-notch, but the tea sandwiches could be better and offer more variety. Certainly worth a visit as part of a Chicago institution, but likely not a repeat visit.

A fun experience at afternoon tea! The space is beautiful and elegant, our server was very friendly, the tea and cocktails were great. We weren't able to try all of the food as we filled up on the delicious scones, but what we did have was good! Overall a bit overpriced for what you get, but would go back for a special occasion.

I’ve been here multiple times and every time it has been a wonderful experience. The staff are very accommodating. The place is just gorgeous. The tea is phenomenal, I always get the chai. The last time I went, I brought my five month old baby, and it was her first tea experience and she loved tasting all the different pastries. It’s so nice to get dressed up with our little fascinators and pearls.

My husband I went to celebrate at an afternoon tea at the Palm Court inside the Drake Hotel. It was amazing! We had some delicious tea with so many options, and amazing little tea bites and cakes and crumpets. My husband is gluten free and he had some amazing options! They were sure to offer him a ton of things to eat and he said they were delicious. And he has not gotten sick from it, which I know is important for so many celiacs. You could have as much treats and tea as you liked during the 90minutes. We definitely ate out fill! It was a birthday celebration for us so they brought us out 2 little chocolate cakes with whipped cream and candles for us too! And husband’s was also gluten free! It was too sweet of them! I will say that a couple of the treats were a little dry or cold. Many of these things need to be made ahead of time for the number of customers and events, so we were very understanding. They can’t make everything right away all the time all day long. lol most of the tests were perfectly delicious. We also had a harpist! It was such a beautiful atmosphere! It was $86/pp. I really really enjoyed this experience. It was such a luxurious experience. Parking: the website

My 2 girl friends invited me for my birthday celebration. This afternoon tea party was amazing. We disconnected from the real world for 2 hours. The service was perfect thanks to Javier, the location is gorgeous (please go to the powder room which needs to be seen). The food was good but as a French person I think a few items could be more elaborate (what about some foie gras toast instead of the mini beef burger?). Some sweets were too much but no worries you can bring a box home. The variety of teas is incredible! A very nice moment 💕
