Used to love this place, but the service has gone down of late. Recommend checking it out though as location hasn't ever been better. more

SPECIAL EVENTS extradorinaire! 11/29/2008

I just hosted an intimate baby shower at Arium. The selections of teas are undeniably more extensive than the Ritz or any other hotel tea location. The scones, mini sandwiches, quiche, and brownies were tasty with the guest of honor wanting more!! I think the only thing we wanted was more food!! You feel like you're being served in a quiet art gallery with linens and fine china. No detail was overlooked by the staff, even fresh roses and beautiful music details like Josh Groban. I highly recommend this setting for an intimate 15-20 person dinner or tea. Angel is the master at service and you won't be disappointed. It was $38 for grand tea without taxes and gratuity. You won't be disappointed if you're hosting a nice event. Pros: Ambience, parking outside, service, selection of teas Cons: Need more sandwiches because they are so good more

A pathetic disaster 6/9/2008

This place has no clue what it is doing. They need to let people sit in the restaurant without employees constantly harassing tables. more

Great tea, scones and soup! 8/17/2006

This is a wonderful place that serves great teas, delicious scones and phenomenal soups. The service is impeccable and they have traditional proper tea service with mini sandwiches, scones and sweets that is served on a triple tier plate. Pros: Great scones, tea, soups and sandwiches; lovely ambience more

Have to Have Blueberry Blintzes 8/6/2006

You must visit this wonderful new spot in the Meatpacking District and try the delicious Blintzes. They're out of this world. They also serve the best scones around! Great food and wonderful attentive service in a peaceful atmosphere. more

Great tea, great service 7/12/2006

I agree with the other reviews. Great tea, great service, great atmosphere. I plan on returning to Arium many times. I was, however, sad to learn that scones are not available on the lunch menu--they're available later in the day after lunch. more

PERFECT! 5/30/2006

I have been here for tea almost 5 times now and every time I am awed by the atmosphere and the high quality of the tea and food. It seems like there are a hundred different kinds of tea on the menu (each with its own description!). There are 3 different types of tea courses - a scone one (served with lemon curd, clotted cream, jam & marmalade), a mini sandwich course, and a dessert course. You can get any combination of them. I recommend ALL of them! They are so good. The space is also beautiful -- airy and serene. I also saw a flyer last time I was there that announced some piano concerts that are coming up. Perfect! Pros: huge tea list, fantastic food, great ambience Cons: none! more

A GREAT EXPERIENCE 4/14/2006

This is a lovely spot, recently opened in the Meat-Packing District. Open for lunch, serving a very interesting selection of soups, salads and sandwiches. The main reason to go however, is the stunning afternoon tea service. Probably the finest afternoon tea in NYC, with mouthwatering scones, amazing tea sandwiches of all types and unbelievable sweets, and a to-die-for tea list with almost every type of tea available. The service is simply outstanding. Pros: amazing tea list, amazing food, great service more

spot on!! 3/30/2006

if you are looking for the perfect NYC tea time, this is it. forget all the other places (and we are lucky to have some very good places), drop everything and RUN to arium. the space is breathtaking. the ambience is tranquil. the service is fabulous and most importantly the food is FABULOUS and generously portioned. the full tea tray for $35 is a satisfying and well balanced (large) meal. there are over 100 teas to select from and these are not your average ho hum teas. they are top quality blends. love love LOVE it. an exceptional experience. an event!! Pros: divine food, fabulous ambience, tremendous experience more
