"The glamorous Garden Court inside the Palace Hotel is more than just an eye-catching space — it’s a San Francisco landmark. The move is to head here for afternoon tea service when you’ll have ample time to take in the marble pillars and Austrian chandeliers while snacking on pastries, tiny sandwiches, and, of course, tea. There’s also a three-course prix-fixe lunch starring light fare such as salad, soup, and lobster ravioli. Reservations are available via OpenTable." - Lauren Saria
