Their menu changes completely every few months, but we've been going regularly for over 2 years, and have never had a bad meal. We've always had good service as well. Although not inexpensive, their meals offer a reasonable value compared to other restaurants within easy walking distance of the Chandler Pavilion/Music Center.

Our server/hostess was Lluvia and she was PHENOMENAL!! Lluvia was very attentive and knowledgeable, and despite some hiccups with security and juggling more tables than expected, she was very professional and our party never felt ignored! We went to the Biltmore yesterday, and I can honestly say I prefer Afternoon Tea at the Dahlia. Thank you again to Lluvia, you’re a gem ❤️❤️❤️
