La Petite Dauphine, David Smith's Euro-style tea salon in a Rittenhouse brownstone, starts afternoon weekend tea on Saturday, Nov. 3.

The $26 prix-fixe experience is served on Saturday and Sunday in one-seating sessions beginning at 3:30 p.m. Smith will go to seven-day service from Thursday, Dec. 13 through Monday, Dec. 24.

You get canapés, scones, Devonshire cream, fresh berries, savory tea sandwiches, and yummies from the dessert cart, and it's all by reservation only.
