| - It is said that you eat with your eyes first before you eat with your mouth. This is so true when we entered the English Rose Tea Room. You enter a small lobby where all of your senses are tickled. I felt as though I had stepped in to an English tea museum where it was okay to touch the art and I had the chance to bring the treasures home. That's even before I got to the good stuff. Although a small place, they have not missed an opportunity to display everything that you want in a true English Tea House. You are welcomed by a very personalized, dedicated staff and by the owner Jo. They've even gone so far as to provide hats for those of us that want the full experience. When we were sat at our table we were provided quite an extensive menu, although it was respectful to the English tea delicacies. I was provided a delightful waitress with burgundy hair named Paige. She covered the specials of the day and when I wasn't sure what type of tea I should have there was an expansive description next to each name in the menu. Paige took a moment to point out some of her favorites and why she enjoyed them. Both I and my lunch guest went with her recommendations and were more than pleased with the recomms. Plentiful were the options for dressing up our tea from white sugar cubes to brown sugar cubes, to milk to lemons. Our pots were refilled anytime they were low. Both I and my lunch guest went with the quiche special and were amazed at what a delicious combination it was. It had sautéed plump mushrooms, golden soft onions, vibrant green, fresh spinach and a bubbling layer of cheddar cheese. All this deliciousness was nestled in one of the flakiest, tender quiche crusts. The serving size was plentiful. This came with a spring green salad with in-house made blue cheese dressing. We couldn't leave without a dessert so we each chose a scone with Devon cream and strawberry preserves. This place makes scones the right way, firm with a near crispy outside and soft on the inside. The Devon cream is not a simple whip cream but instead is a marriage between butter and whip cream so rich and delicious it offsets the shell of the scone, a perfect marriage. We finished lunch will full bellies, lips warm and smiling from the cascades of sweet and floral fresh teas. We were treated as the most important guests, with the same respect to the other patrons. Our lunch turned out to be a lovely experience that created great memories, one that I look forward to to repeating very soon!
