The museum’s L.S. Ayres Tea Room recreates elements of the former department-store dining room, including columns, wallpaper and chandeliers. Its public holiday dining brings back dishes such as chicken velvet soup, tea-time sandwiches and miniature desserts. This is a scheduled seasonal lunch experience, not an everyday walk-in tearoom: the current public season runs November 27, 2026 to January 3, 2027, and reservations are strongly encouraged. Read the current menu to understand whether you are booking the buffet or another published tea-room experience. Private rentals are separate from the seasonal public dining service.
