LOCATION AND SETTING
Lex 18's historic late1920's dining room was formerly part of the 1904 - 1922 Eureka Saloon owned and operated by John O'Donnell.  Restored in 2014 its design reflects the splendor and elegance of the post-Edwardian era complete with all the finery from this popular historic period.   Centered under its gold ceiling, each table is dressed in lace. English Royal Dalton, French Limoges, Japanese Noritake china are set with arranged flowers, fine silver cutlery and vintage cut crystal water glasses.   Elegantly dressed in morning coat and tie, Alan Van de Kamp, our tea connoisseur and butler, is at your service to prepare the perfect tea for your table.
