Once we were seated, I had a chance to catch the song they were playing. It was "Rum and Coca-Cola" by The Andrews Sisters. Gran Fran and Joe must have put that request in.
The tea service was different than what we are used to, as, in general, we've gone to English tea. The teas were all listed out on a seperate menu (2 pages long).
We chose sweets instead of sandwiches. Here is what we got:
* creme brulee that Isabella proclaimed as her favorite ever
* a little pound cake (like the size of your thumb) which was green for some reason but didn't have much flavor)
* the tiniest madeline i've ever seen
* a tart berry coulis
* a canale (not sure I spelled that right, but it looks like a muffin but fluted)
The tea choice for me was, of course, Lapsang Souchang and for Isabella, also of course, Earl Grey. I took mine hot even though it was 92 degrees here, hers was cold.
We would like to go back and try other food, since none of it was that memorable except for the creme brulee, but the tea is what is bringing us back.
