| - Review #155 is a special one for me & needs to go down in my book as one word: Blissful
I love this place,I went here for the High Tea experience with a good girlfriend & it was worth every penny. I had a great time & it felt like I was in a cozy,warm & inviting environment. Limited seating & clean,you can see the entire kitchen from the restaurant & I have a tremendous amount of respect for restaurants that are willing to be scrutinized by the general public. Coffee & water are self serve so don't be shy. Someone "ahem" almost got a marriage proposal that day & it wasn't me.
The table setting was perfectly British & the variety of teas was wonderful,I was tossed up between plum tart (the one I picked for the day) & ginger marmalade (for next time). They were kind enough to allow us to book a High Tea only 2 hours ahead of schedule since it was the middle of the week. Normally,a 24 hour heads up is requested so please be considerate on the weekends.
Everything is made from scratch in house except the butter,extra gold star. The scones were light,hot & perfectly crumbly. They were served with butter,lemon curd,sweet cream,dark caramel,raspberry jam & peach whiskey marmalade. The lemon curd & sweet cream used as a combo is what you eat to make the world a peaceful place to live in.
Since we called in at the last minute,we were able to have a few minutes in between services to enjoy the atmosphere,our teas & most importantly our company! When the three tiered serving stand arrived,the joy continued.
We were treated to a salmon spread with dill & lemon pepper served on a crumpet (4),yum. The sandwiches were cucumber with lemon pepper & egg salad (heart shaped!) on a mix of white & whole wheat,delicious. Concluded by the desserts,an upside down pineapple cake,chocolate cheesecake,pecan butter tart,lemon tart (squeal) & a shortbread cookie per person. My favourite was without a doubt the lemon tart,it was heavenly.
I spotted a customer's order of the strawberry shortcake in a jar (envy reared it's ugly head) & I'll order it next time. I've heard amazing things about the brunch on the weekends & I'll be going within the next few weeks,review to follow.
Curious about possibly throwing an event here,we were told that they should be offering a catering service soon. Let Donna & her team make an afternoon delight possible without too much work!
