“It was the most peaceful, magical evening with my whole family. My parents were in tears by the end. Thank you for creating such a special memory.”
We’re opening our doors for exclusive evening celebrations.
From November 14th to January 11, gather your favorite people for a cozy, elegant dinner at The Tea House on Los Rios.
Available weeknights from 6PM to 9PM, only for private parties.
But the idea of cooking for 20?
Cleaning your house for days?
Washing every dish by hand when it’s all over?
No thanks.
This year, let us handle the hosting—so you can actually enjoy the night with your family.
Restaurants feel too impersonal.
Home is a lot of work.
But you still want something that feels special.
Something that looks and feels like Christmas.
That’s where we come in.
The door opens to the warm glow of twinkle lights and candlelight.
The table is fully set with vintage china, velvet ribbons, and elegant menus.
Hot tea is poured. Laughter fills the room.
There are no strangers around.
Just your family—grandparents, kids, cousins, in-laws, and friends—together for a private evening in the most magical setting in town.
