The St. James Tearoom
I have lived in England and have sampled formal teas in a wide variety of settings both abroad and in America and I have never found a place to rival this one! Each experience treats the guest as an honored visitor for whom much care and preparation has been taken. The mood and setting are restful, Victorian, and gracious. The servers are trained to be more than polite - they are taught to love to serve, and it shows. The food is five star caliber, and the teas are sumptuous, looseleaf blends, carefully selected to complement the month's menu. It is a creative, lovely, welcoming place that lavishly reflects the open heart of the gracious owner, Mary Alice Higbee, and her son, Daniel, who is the manager. Whether you are celebrating a momentous event or a warm, enduring friendship, the St James is an experince not to be missed!
