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?

    Elvish really went ABOVE and beyond. I honestly think this experience was undercharged and I never say that. They had coat check, made arrangements for my nut allergy without me even asking, I had 3 points of contact congratulate us for our anniversary. We genuinely didn’t expect anything and they surprised us with a dessert. Then I believe was the manager is started with a Y- I’m so mad I forgot her name was so personable and took the time to get to know us and really make our experience memorable. My boyfriend and I walked out and said “Wow that was the best service we’ve experienced from any place”. Do not hesitate and reserve your spot asap, especially during the holiday season. Thank you guys for making our evening so amazing.

    What an extraordinary gem right here, nestled in Park Slope! We felt as though we were characters in a Jane Austen novel, having tea with friends. The staff is SO nice, friendly, well-informed, generous, and happy to be there! We cannot wait to go back! Thank you Shelby and the other lovely young person whose name I didn’t catch!

    This is my second time coming to this teatime. It was awesome as the first however, what I think is as important as the quality of the food and chocolates was the experience of the ambience. Jonny (the trouble maker)  has made both this experience and the last one equally as enjoyable. Next time I will call in advance and make sure he’s there before booking.
