|  | | A sanctuary of sanity...much needed break | Jan 6, 2011 | | I have visited a couple of tea rooms, none in Colorado, but decided to take my best friend and mother of small kids away for an afternoon when I visited Denver. We arrived before our reservation time, had to wait a bit, but got seated at a nice table. The hostess apologized that our scones were still in the oven, but on arrival they were steaming hot, yum! We followed the scones with a soup course--curried carrot for me and potato leek for my friend. Both were out of this world delicious and served at perfect temperature. The server was very attentive, without hovering. Finally, the savory/sweets tray arrived and we both ate too much of everything. Make the time to go--this was more fun than a spa day! |
| | I absolutely Love and Adore this place! | 1/31/2011 | | I absolutely Love and Adore this place. I took my daughter to the Tea Service hours during lunch and she loved it. She's not much of a tea drinker, but she did drink it this day and loved the decor and our server with his British soft spoken accent. We sat near the fire place and loved the table arrangement. We started of with tea then scones, we chose to have the soup and then Yummy we had our sweet and savory tray.
I loved the petite sandwiches and yummy the desserts, especially the "spotted dick" was tasty. Don't be put off by the name..lol only in the U.S. minus Hawaii do people think of something else when hearing certain words.
I've been really wanting to go back for the lunch and dinner menu, as I hear it is very authentic and delicious, but everytime I go something comes up or it's was closed during the holidays. :( Can't wait to go back. |
