What a lovely, satisfying experience! My friend, who I had not seen in 37 years, suggested this venue, making a reservation for us at 11:45, Tuesday, 6/23/20. Caylee met us in the drawing room area, wearing her mask, and greeted us warmly. She sat us...at a table for two, by the window. A menu of all the teas was already on the table. It was so difficult to choose. Val had the English Breakfast tea and one other. I enjoyed the Caramel Cream and Brooksville Blueberry. We had enough for ourselves and to share a cup with each other from our personal pots. Delightful.
Val had chips and the chicken curry sandwich. I chose the tea tray that included four desserts (blueberry scone, cranberry white chocolate chip cookie, chocolate peanut butter cupcake, and chocolate mint parfait), four sandwiches (roasted red pepper, traditional cucumber, Florida orange, and chicken curry bread basket) and a sundried tomato quiche. Everything was so good and nothing disappointed. Nothing!
During our time together, we never felt rushed. We were there for a little over two and a half hours, and talked when we weren’t eating - and we savored every bite. While we were there, Caylee helped patrons at two other tables that were occupied twice. They were a safe distance apart from us and from each other.
Caylee was wonderful! She brought cream when we needed it, and made sure we had hot tea quickly - the first and second time. She brought us our food in a timely manner. We hope Caylee felt well tipped as we were there long enough for two others to be served at our table, and we would have left after an hour if we hadn’t had so many years to catch up on. We will be back, hope that Caylee is there too, and we won’t hog the table for so long next time!More
