Trifecta

Trifecta serves dinner, cocktails and weekend afternoon tea inside the Four Seasons at One Dalton. The tea service gives you a reason to settle in: sandwiches, scones, sweets and blends from Massachusetts tea company J’enwey, with liqueur pairings also part of the offering. Reservations are required for tea, so make that booking before planning the rest of your afternoon in Back Bay.

Later, the lounge turns to dinner inspired by the New England coast and cocktails named for Boston people and places. Mike’s or Modern brings espresso and cannoli cream into the same glass. You can come for a drink without committing to the full tea service, but watch the kitchen hours if dinner is the plan: food service ends before the bar closes.
