"Special" Afternoon Tea at Garden View Tea Room?

[Raya]

I just booked a tea room reservation for a family celebration and my reservation was listed as "Special". Does that mean the tea room is doing some sort of special event/menu that day? How would I find out what it is? We're going in late August, so no obvious holidays or events.

Quite a few restaurants show up as 'special' just generally. (Stitch seems to have eaten everything at the moment, so I can't screenshot anything to show you.) It'll say 'unique dining' or 'special dining' or something like that. I think it's just a way to tell you that there's something unique about the restaurant, not that something unusual is happening.
That's what I'm guessing you're seeing.

As the pp indicates, special just notes it is not a "normal" dining reservation. These are noted on dessert parties as well.
