Antique Outlet & Mitra'sTearoom
I am writing this review 2 hours after our wonderful meal. So I am still full and the experience was GRAND! I took my oldest 14 yr old GRAND daughter to the Artisan Theater and then on to Mitra's Tearoom....for a late lunch.... It was almost 3pm and raining, but we found the little room inviting and quaint in the back of the store. The service was warm, this tea menu was like I have ever seen. We were sitted, ordered and waited patiently for it to arrive and we were NOT disappointed...The tea included a tiny pitcher of warm cream and hard brown sugar cubes. We both chose the sampler plate that included ALL their BEST. At first, I thought the price was a bit high but the price included any beverage and dessert. But as the TONS of yummy food arrived in courses and each course was served on beautiful pieces of old china and each piece was graced by a lovely paper doily. We were not sorry we had come. I chose the Tomato Basil soup and my GRAND chose their signature potatoe soup. Both were tasty, and perfectly presented. The platter included the cup of soup, an amazing little roll that we both thought was a cream puff and a tiny sweet muffin both served with strawberry butter. YUMMY! Then the real platter arrived with a full serving of chicken mushroom quiche, 3 beautiful sandwiches of egg salad,a fruited, nut chicken salad and cucumber cream cheese along with a salad...we both chose the house salad but they also had ceasar. The sandwiches were all cut in shapes...and were generous portions. I made myself eat most of the very good slice of watermelon that topped off the plate. NExt problem was to decide on a dessert from all the choices. Dessert after all the tea, soup,rolls and the plate of food was not needed and we both were not really able to enjoy it but we chose one piece of the Coconut Cake and Chocolate cream pie...and asked for it to go....When it arrived our beautiful waitress excused her need for bringing mismatched forks for us to sample. When was the last time that ever happened? NEVER! I can't even RAVE enough about the FOOD or the Delish...DESSERTS or the TEA......or Mitra's Tearoom or Mitra herself. My GRAND knows I love to cook and bake and I bake a great quiche,a pretty wonderful chocolate pie and cakes...to boot....but she told me....I had someone.....to work against now.... Everything is made fresh and from Scratch and you need it....by each bite.... Was a WONDERFUL day we had..... That should say it....all!!! But then I even ASKED Mitra for a job!!!!! Maybe next you stop by I will be helping Mitra in the back tocook and bake....and will welcome you to this WONDERFUL TEAROOM.....if not I hope that we meet one day at lunch to savor.....some more morsels.... Thank you.....Mitra......Gayle Copeland
