Don't miss the duck fat potato chips ! And anything with the house made ginger syrup is quite good.

There’s a recession going on? Not in here. At the Elysian Hotel’s clubby bar , it might as well be Reagan’s ’80s—every texture is plush, every server is formal , and every drink is, um, about $15. Read more

Very pretty and intimate setting. Love the egg salad sandwich and banana bread. This might sound weird, but eat it with lemon curd and clotted cream. Nice place for afternoon tea in overall. - Alicia Kosasih
