Had dinner with 6 friends and had a blast! Although on the loud side and fairly crowded, the ambiance was great for a Thursday night out. Very reasonable drink/food prices. The food could use a little kick in the spice section, but pretty decent and nice variety. This was a pleasant change from expensive dinners in the Center. Will definitely go back! One suggestion - car pool as their parking lot is tiny.
Pros: Great drinks
Cons: Limited Parking

The waiter was cute, courteous, and charming. The atmosphere was soft, relaxing, and comfortable. The food was to die for - I had the ahi tuna w/wasabi mashed potatoes and my friend had the chicken & polenta. It was DELICIOUS. Not enough room left for dessert after our blueberry/pommegranite smoothies. Very reasonable prices I thought considering the quality and quantity of food. Neither of us could finish our meals and we so wanted too because the food was so delicious. The wine menu was also very accomodating. I don't have any negative comments (excpet I wish the parking lot was larger). Go and enjoy!!!
Pros: Great Atmosphere, Food, Value, People, Drinks, All Good!!
Cons: Parking lot a bit small

I would like to love Tisane. I'm a local and have a sweet spot for indepedent coffee- or tea-houses. However, it just doesn't measure up, in most ways. The good: the food is very good, their tea menu is extensive, and their alcoholic drinks are creative and tasty. The bad: the service is very spotty (we had an *extremely* rude waitress, not once but twice - and they were different people), the food is way over-priced (even for being very good), and they have few dessert selections. Overall: mediocre, at best. I've heard their Tuesday gay nights are lots of fun.
Pros: Drink menus, quality of food
Cons: Spotty service, food is too expensive

I love this place. I go with my boyfriend all of the time. They have the best martini's and the staff are very friendly and attentive. If you want want great drinks and a very interesting atmosphere this place is a must. Oh, and their steak frites are very-very good!

I have lived down the road from this place for years and it is by far THE best place for tea around. They have something like 96 different teas that they steep in a pot at your table. The presentation is amazing. They carry exotic teas, seasonal teas, blends... I go for the coffee and the food, which is also good (getting better). The coffee is amazing as well. Great place all around.
Pros: Ambiance, Great Day/Night out, Great Breakfast
Cons: Service w/ "Attitude", Food is "sometimes-y", TOO Crowded at night
