TE'
TE' is located in the former Tea Parlor of the historic Inn at Leola Village, and has been awarded Forbes' coveted Four Star award for fine dining. The restaurant is surrounded by flower gardens and walking paths, as well as the chef's herb and vegetable gardens. Guests may enjoy an aperitivo in the courtyard garden or entrance lounge prior to dining in the romantic twenty seat dining room. The dining room is adorned daily with fresh flower arrangements by the Inn's resident florist. Typical dining time for the five course prix-fixe is two to three hours or three to four hours for the nine course degustation menu. Both menus are also available as vegetarian. The intimacy of the dining room is not conducive for children under the age of twelve, however, a private dining room as well as a five course children's menu is available upon special arrangement.

"We went here for our engagement dinner. What a great memory. If you are in the area or looking for a particularly impactful romantic evening with outstanding food and service, this is the place for you. Would recommend to anyone in Baltimore or Philadelphia who would be willing to make the trip and stay the night at the inn or another local B&B. Fantastic!"

"By some miracle my husband was able to get thru on the phone and get us table on a Friday evening. Off to Te' to celebrate our anniversary!! Throughout dinner, my husband kept telling me that our Te' experience was "once in a lifetime". My husband was right; it was like no other. This was one of the best meals I've had so far in my entire life. The food was absolutely genius and amazing. I also found the service refreshing, unlike other Forbes rated restaurants I've been to, I felt like I was dining at a friend's house, as our server was very knowledgeable about world-wide dining experiences. The server's true love of food came through in our conservations. Overall I enjoyed our Te' experience and look forward to returning again someday"

"Very personable service that include being greated at the door by name and name on the menu. Small intimate place with only a few tables so great service. Made for a very enjoyable dining experience."

"From the time we arrived, the service was personalized and constant. The door man was professional, we were greeted by the maitre d', and offered a sampling from the somalier as we sat down. We were specially greeted by well dressed management that made you feel special immediatley.
The nine course offering with wine parings was a goumet adventure for the pallet. It was exciting anticipation in between courses, with some of the best wines we had ever tasted.
This restaurant is an "experience" for all the senses. If you are looking for a very special occasion or a romantic interlude, reserve an evening at Te', and let them pamper your palet and your mind."

"WOW!!! This is one of the best restaurants that my wife and I have ever visited. It ranks up there with any 5 star restaurant from Philadelphia or NYC. We settled for the 5 course prix fixe menu with wine pairing and were pleased that all but the desert course offered multiple food selections from which to choose. The entire staff was very friendly, informative, but not obtrusive. The sommelier and waiter were both very helpful in explaining all we wanted to learn about our selections. We read the reviews from other diners on Open Table and had very high expectations and the restaurant surpassed them. With wine pairing, the final bill was a little pricey, but IMO well worth it. One of the best dining experiences you will have!!!"

"This is little Gem in Lancaster County. What a wonderful Valentine's dinner. Far exceeded our expectations. This restaurant is deserving of a 5 star big city reputation. Lnacaster County is lucky to have this good of a restaurant. Only open Friday and Sat and has a wonderful seasonal 5 or 9 fix course menu "High end Itailian" Wonderful flavor and beautifully presented with attentive service.
Enjoy,"

"Beautiful and intimate, attention without intrusion, and a menu that is creative, flavorful, and a delight to the eye. You feel the care and effort that the chef brings to his work through the explanations and ministrations of the staff. No detail was overlooked. What a lovely and memorable dining experience!"

"Tucked away in a small corner of Lancaster county may be the next Michelin star for the state of PA. This intimate (6 table) destination has service at the forefront of every moment from the doorman's personal greeting to the highly attentive but not obtrusive staff. Little touches like the rose petal and mint finger dipping bowl to the stool provided to keep my wife's handbag from her chair or floor, addressed guest's "wants" before you even know you want it is there in every maneuver. The offerings are a 5 course Prixe Fix or a 9 course Degustation menu with or without wine pairings. We opted for the former with wine to allow a little flexibility of choice. 4 additional bonus interludes later and we completed a sublime meal. Gratzi!!!"

"Having been to many of the Northeast's higher end restaurants, I surprised by the experience here. Given the restaurant’s location (about an hour outside Philadelphia), I didn't have my expectations set too high - and I was pleasantly surprised! The food was flavorful and fresh, and the service was impeccable without being stuff and too formal. I can think of a few French restaurants that could match the caliber of this dining experience, but I can only think of one other Italian restaurant that is in the same league!"
