Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in U Village / U District

It's two hours of relaxation. Forget your phones and enjoy the company.

I can't say enough good things about Fog and Rose tea room. It was a delight to go to, and the ambience and decor were perfect. We were taken care of really well. The food was delicious and the tea we especially loved because you could have it by the cup instead of by the teapot, which was a nice change. 10/10 !

The Thanksgiving dinner was amazing! The three courses along with wine pairing were nicely paced and beautifully presented. The turkey was moist and tender and the sides of root vegetables, stuffing, roasted brussel sprouts, cranberry sauce and sauteed mushrooms were thoughtfully prepared and complimented the main. Dessert was pumpkin pie along with an assortment of small cakes. Overall, the food and service were outstanding and the portions generous. This might just become a new family tradition!

We dined at the George on Thanksgiving day. Gary's service was unmatched. The milk bread and pumpkin soup were delicious. Adult beverages were tasty and plentiful. Even the brussels sprouts were good (and I don't like brussels sprouts). A bit pricey, but worth it for the occasion.

We had a wonderful afternoon tea at the Queen Mary with a group of friends celebrating a birthday. It was delicious, as always, and the service was especially good. Kudos to the Queen Mary! I grew up overseas and attended a British boarding school with tea every day, so I have high standards. The QM never disappoints. In fact, I’ve had tea at the Four Seasons in DC and in Seattle, tea at Bouchart Gardens in Victoria, and tea in Hong Kong at the Penninsula (back in the day) and none of them were as good as Seattle’s Queen Mary. It is one of my favorite places.
