Lavender'n Lace
Lavender N Lace is a fine establishment. They offer a variety of loose leaf black teas, including peach, blackberry, raspberry, apricot, plum, tropical breeze, strawberry, darjeeling, Earl Grey and several others. The hot teas are served in adorable china tea pots - each person gets her own pot of tea. Each day they also offer one of the flavored teas in an ice tea form. Today they had blackberry iced tea - it was delicious! This cute tea room also offers a wonderful menu of unique food items - including crunchy chicken, which is a delicious casserole made with chicken, rice, cheese and a potato chip topping - a wonderful dish! Some of the other items on the menu include, chicken salad, crepes florentine, salmon, cottage pie (like shepherd's pie), and 2 types of quiches - spinach and crab. Each day there are specials offered - one of them, the shrimp stir fry is delicious! The stir fry is made with jumbo shrimp (there were 6 of them), penne pasta and veggies. Each entree' includes a delicious salad marinated with a poppy seed dressing that is such a unique flavor - I've never tasted anything like it! Be sure to save some room for dessert - there are a variety of homemade sweets that include french silk pie, key lime pie, peanut butter pie, angel pie (coconut cream!), and hummingbird cake. My favorite is a daily special - it's called 'triple berry cheesecake' and is made with blueberries, strawberries and raspberries mixed in with cream cheese. This pie has a wonderful graham cracker crust - it's light, fluffy and delicious! The tea room's atmosphere is SO sweet! The tables all have floral tablecloths which are covered with a lace overlay - it's very feminine and charming. There are floral arrangements on each table, wreaths. paintings, and plates decorate the walls, and one of the rooms has an amazing collection of china - all sorts of antique china patterns on display. Each waitress wore a lovely floral apron - which just added to the charm of this lovely place! The gardens outside are well manicured and include gorgeous roses, and many other flowers - there are tables set up outside and we noticed many people just lingering and enjoying themselves. There is a little gift shop which had tea pots, tea cups, and many unique gift items for sale. All in all, our experience at Lavender N Lace was simply delightful - the food was delicious, the tea was wonderful, and the restaurant was beautiful! We had excellent service and the prices were reasonable. Just a perfect day - I highly recommend Lavender N Lace!
