Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a reservation for Pasadena high tea, or can I walk in?
Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends when the tea service and brunch tend to book up. Walk-ins are welcome when space allows, but booking ahead guarantees your table.
Can I host a private event here, or is this only a restaurant?
Both. Madeline Garden runs as a French-Italian bistro for regular dining and books the bistro or garden courtyard separately for weddings, bridal showers, birthdays, and corporate events. Reach out directly to check dates and space availability.
Is the garden courtyard covered, or is seating fully outdoors?
The courtyard is outdoor seating, so it's weather-dependent. Indoor bistro seating is available as a backup if it's too hot, cold, or rainy.
What's included with the high tea service?
Tea service is tiered, with savory bites and sweets served over a slower afternoon. Exact tiers and pricing vary — contact the venue for current menu details.
Where is Madeline Garden located, and is parking available nearby?
The venue sits in Pasadena, near Old Town and the Playhouse District. It's easy to combine a visit with the shopping and galleries in that area before or after your reservation.
