| - Let me tell you something, I don't think there exists another restaurant like this one. It's extremely unique. It has the atmosphere of home and gift shop, all in one. It's nestled in a woodsy area with a cottage-like restaurant. I went a week before Mother's Day. I didn't have a reservation, so they had me wait and look around until they could seat me. They introduced me to the concept of the restaurant, the protected habitat that surrounded it, and what I was to expect. They were so sweet and the wait wasn't long at all. I looked around at all the books, charms, and souvenirs until they offered me a table. They allowed me to choose and I selected the seat facing a view of the trees. The menu was shorter this day, since the chef/owner was out. They had a lot of vegetarian and gluten-free choices. Their tea menu however, is very extensive. I've never seen so many choices of teas in my life! I went with an Angel tea and a vegan option of South Euclid Sanctuary salad with a side of strawberry vinaigrette. So here's where I'm blown away. This salad was the freshest, tastiest raw salad I've ever eaten and that's hard to do without having any sauces on it. When I added the vinaigrette, I was blown away even further. Look, nobody writes a review just because of a salad. But I kid you not, it was that awesome! It was extremely filling too. I could barely eat the dinner I had later. The tea they brought in with a spoon, sugar options and a little hourglass timer. When the sand has finished pouring, I was to pull out the tea bag. It tasted divine! Their service was impeccable and the décor was adorable. I went to their bathroom which had the same knick-knack décor as well. I will upload pictures soon. I then went into a back room where a pretty girl waited at the register. I paid with credit card and then thanked them for their lovely service and accommodation. I hope to return someday with friends in tow..
