Driven by the spirit of the Irish Playwright, our bar pays homage to his genuinely prolific story. Oscar Wilde turns the Victorian Era on its head. Without relinquishing any of its glamour. Just like Wilde himself, we believe life should be lived to its fullest, with a touch of sophisticated debauchery. Why miss out on the fun?

    I went there with my wife for the Valentine's Day event that included six decadent little meals (salad, soup, finger sandwiches, scones, cake) paired with a delightful assortment of teas. It was wonderful, and so was the experience, which included a live violinist. Top notch!

    We really enjoyed our experience at the restaurant. We chose to do a pre-valentine's day (we tend to celebrate the day before to avoid the crazy crowds). The place was excellent in terms of service, food and ambiance. The deco is super, there was a jazz band playing and the overall experience was great. Definitely a must go and a place where we will go back.

    Warm hospitality and thoughtful prep for my gluten-free needs. It’s the priciest afternoon tea around but the food and service was excellent. The muffin was really crumbly and fell apart on contact but flavorful. The lemon curd is the bomb! Wonderful!

    Had a late afternoon grand Vanderbilt high tea service. Wonderful ambience and decorations made this such a nice little retreat. Tea was brewed perfectly and the sandwiches and scone were delicious (try the scone with the clotted cream, raspberry jam, and the lemon curd together - perfect combination!) Staff was amazing.
