About The Tap Room

The Tap Room offers a unique dining experience. The food is a mix of good and not-so-good, with the prosciutto sandwich being a bit off and the scones and pineapple cheesecake being delicious. The tea service is hit-or-miss, with some pots being weak and others being strong. The service is friendly, but can be inconsistent. The parking situation is also unclear, with no notification given about validation. Despite these issues, the restaurant has a beautiful location and a welcoming atmosphere.

The lovely entrance welcomes guests to a special day, making it the perfect setting for Afternoon Tea. Excellent scones—moist and never crumbled—are served with lemon curd and clotted cream. The sandwiches are perfect, with soft bread and plentiful fillings, especially the Chicken Salad. Tea Leaves (out of Canada) Tea is a highlight, with favorites like Vanilla Earl Grey and Thunderbolt Darjeeling.

The entire Langham Hotel is stunning, but The Tap Room stands out with its classy, cozy vibe and a splash of Hollywood cool. Inside, it’s dark and moody; outside, serene with a front-row seat to nature. The patio offers a quiet ambiance, perfect for sipping drinks like the smooth Underground Tunnel or a classic mojito.

Guests love the romantic strolls around the property and the attentive service, with nice touches like roses for Mother’s Day. The Tap Room keeps delivering, making any evening feel elevated.
