"Five star experience all the way. From the moment we arrived with efficient valet service to being seated at a gorgeous table, to the time we left a good couple of hours later, it was an unforgettable celebration! We went for the afternoon Traditional Tea. First offering was a glass of Champagne and fresh strawberries and cream, followed by a selection of fine teas. I loved the Black Rose while others ordered the Darjeeling tea and Caramel Pear. A delectable presentation of warm scones, pastries, finger sandwiches and assortment of condiments made for a truly delightful afternoon tea. The blush pink rose and fine porcelain tea set created a feeling of elegance. The pink theme was a nod to support breast cancer. Last but not least, I have to compliment Eric and Carlos for their courteous and caring service. Their brilliant smiles and professionalism was the icing on the cake. And speaking of cake, I was pleasantly surprise by a work of art of white and gold chocolate “hat” cover over a delicious birthday cake. Thrilled to have been thoroughly spoiled at The Living Room and grateful to my kids for the fine experience!"

"After having tea here the last fifteen years, The Peninsula was the gold standard which we compared everything else to. After this last visit, I wouldn’t go back.The atmosphere was gorgeous in celebration of the holiday season, but little things like a tiny saucer of strawberries and cream vs the abundant serving one used to get were sad. At a price point like this- just under $600 for three people, it wasn’t worth it. The sandwiches were all so salty and not good. The sweets were all too sweet and none of us ate them. We were only permitted one pot of tea per person, they were out of the teas we desired. Compared to the other greats like The Goring, Mandarin or Connaught in London, this no longer compares and we won’t be returning."

"Beyond amazing. Everything about it is so wonderful. I went there for my birthday and I was so impressed. I wish I could give them 10 stars because 5 is not enough. They treat me like a queen and I felt like I was invited to a special occasion. The drink was so special, the cookies were so delicious and the tea was so good. Also they surprised me and also other people that came for their birthday with a cake and the music. I was speechless. It was the best birthday ever. Everything was more than my expectations. The best customer service. I had a lovely day with my family and thanks for their great service."

"I came with my grandmother for her birthday and it was such a wonderful experience. The decor and presentation were perfection. We felt like two little girls having a tea party. We came at 1:30pm so we were lucky to enjoy the live harp music. We ordered the royal tea menu which came with rosé and ordered caviar. Delicious! We surprisingly got full from just the pastries , mini sandwiches and caviar. If you don’t order the caviar extra I’m not sure if it will be quite as filling (depends how big your appetite is) however I’m aware the purpose of this place to is to enjoy some sweet treats and drinks (not get stuffed). I’m not sure why people complain about the food not being filling. If you want something to fill you up then go to a normal restaurant. The pastries were super unique and tasty. The sandwiches were ok. Caviar was yummy. Our server Ricardo and Lisa ( I think that’s her name) were amazing ! Most places in LA (especially bh and west la area) have terrible service. They spoke Spanish and were very attentive. They would check up regularly without intruding and were either refilling our cup or taking empty plates away. Very sweet and great conversationalists. 10/10 service. I would come back again. This is a great place to catch up with girlfriends or your mom/daughter/grandma/ etc. It is worth the price."

"I had the most delightful afternoon tea at The Living Room at The Peninsula Beverly Hills. The atmosphere was elegant yet cozy, with live music that made the experience even more special. The service was exceptional—attentive and warm without being intrusive. The selection of teas was impressive, and the presentation of the tiered tray was absolutely beautiful. From the delicate finger sandwiches to the freshly baked scones and exquisite pastries, everything was prepared to perfection. Pairing it with a glass of champagne made the afternoon feel truly luxurious. A perfect spot for a relaxing and memorable afternoon. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy a touch of elegance in Beverly Hills."
