Best Lemon Curd and Best Assorted Tea Service and Tableware
.JPG)
Entrance: In the entrance to The First Ladies Tea Room is an adorable tea shop. You can buy the beautiful tea pots, tea cups and saucers that are used in the tea room as well as an array of other tea accessories. One of our favorites is the beautiful gold plated tea warmer.
Greeting: We were greeted in the tea shop and graciously seated for tea.
Service: Our tea was served by the owner who is truly the perfect tea hostess. She explained the four tea service options:
Dolley Madison: tea, scones and a selection of sweets
Martha Washington: tea, soup, your choice of quiche, sandwich, or salad and dessert
Ida McKinley: tea, soup, finger sandwiches, scones, tea breads, fruit and dainties
First Ladies: tea, soup, quiche or salad, scones, fruit, finger sandwiches, dainty sweet treats and a non-alcoholic sparkling beverage
The standard afternoon tea service is the Martha Washington tea which we selected. Lindsey has also partaken in the First Ladies tea.
Presentation: An assortment of loose leaf teas was brought to our table for us to smell and select from.
Table decor: The table decor was delightful. We both had different tea pots and cups - giving the table a homey, eclectic feel. We loved that our tea pots were placed on tea warmers which kept our tea warm for our entire visit, and we adored the lemon curd, Devonshire cream and scone plate.
Aesthetics: The tea room is perfectly decorated with damask wall paper, a cozy fireplace and pictures of first ladies hanging on the walls. We love a little history with our tea! First Lady Ida McKinley is a native of Canton, Ohio - hence the name of the tea room and the delightful theme.
Tea Quality: The tea was delicious. We tried the Creme Brulee and Winter Spice teas.
Tea Variety: There was a nice assortment of teas. We loved that the loose leaf teas were brought to our table on a tray for us to smell and explained by our hostess before we made our selection.
Food Quality: The lemon curd is the best delicatessen we have ever tasted!! It is the owner's own recipe and although the tea shop sells lemon curd, it is not her recipe :( trust us, we've inquired several times.
Food Quantity: The soup was delicious and there is always a quiche, sandwich and salad to select from. The desserts all sound so good it is hard to decide on just one!
Food Variety: Cup of soup, choice of quiche, sandwich or salad, dessert and scones (assortment depends on tea service selected).
Music: Soft music plays in the background and is only noticeable if you want to hear it, not overpowering to prohibit conversation.
Lighting: The wall sconces provided a dim and relaxing setting for tea.
Bathroom: The bathroom is a single room and it carries through the adorable theme of the tea room with Victorian wallpaper, white wood stalls, and lovely smelling soap and lotion.
Take Aways: As many tea accoutrements from the tea shop as your wallet will let you go home with!
Extras: The tea shop is a huge extra, plus First Ladies Tea Room provides a true tea room experience as their business solely focues on the art of afternoon tea.
Price: Low to Average (depending on tea service selected)
