The Irvington Iris Tea Room: Celebrate the Fathers in Your Life

Upcoming Events!

New this year to the Iris! - Teas Around the World

The Iris is pleased to offer for your dining experiential pleasure a themed afternoon tea for each month of 2012.

Join us Saturday, February 11, 2012 at 2:30 pm, for a very special afternoon full tea celebrating Valentine's Day and Italy. There are several stories about the origin of Valentine's Day. One of the most popular is of an Italian priest by the name of Valentine who befriended a female while in prison for his religious beliefs. Before he was executed, he left a note and signed it simply "your Valentine". To honor all lovers and special people in our lives this February the Iris will honor St. Valentine and his native country, Italy. We will be serving amazing fare and teas themed to Italy - the lover's capital. Limited seating available. $20 per person Click to the menu for the tea!

First Friday Art and Tea Tasting! Friday, February 3 from 6:00-9:00 pm. Stop by for complimentary tea tasting. This month we will be highlighting Hidden Garden - a delicate white tea graced with a gentle touch of peony and a subtle fruitiness. We'll also have some goodies to sample.

Saturday Brunch - Call for a reservation for this very special Brunch served full afternoon tea style. Limited time offering - $18 per person
