Tips & Advice

  • Choose your day by the menu, since every luncheon is different, from Wednesday's braised beef tips to Friday's chicken Capresé with lemon layered cake.
  • Go on Thursday if you need a gluten-free dessert, because that day's luncheon ends with a gluten-free chocolate layered cake.
  • Book a table of eight or a VIP table if you're bringing a group, so your party sits together at one of the decorated tables.
  • Leave time before or after lunch to browse the free Holiday Market, where East Texas artisans and merchants sell unique, personal gifts.
  • Buy your ticket for the exact day you plan to attend, since Tea Room tickets are sold separately for Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Table-of-eight and VIP table packages, sold alongside individual luncheon tickets.
