Greens to grays. Day into night. This brushstroke masterpiece. Describing my most recent Green Door on 8th adventure in fond food-centric prose. Lucky enough to dine with a dear friend. Perfection was to follow. In choice of seating, by the window. In service, by way of Tristan. In cuisine, by way of the culinary magic transcribed from menu bits to savory tasty gourmet bites. Ah, that kitchen magic. I've come to love this little tuckaway gem on the 'other' side of the tourist trail. A hole in the wall with a slice of history and a slice of... Fried Green Tomatoes. or Smoked Gouda or Key Lime Pie, if you will. THE most recent thing I've discovered that I love about Green Door, is sharing Green Door. With family. And friends. I've managed to convince more than a few it's worth the drive. From Lutz. South Tampa. And beyond. My tag line is 'You want to try something different, I have the place'. My goal is to sample all that Green Door has to offer. And delicious describes everything that I've had! Steaks, chicken, burgers, salads, Cajun, classics and more. And to share with all who accept my invite. No feast is complete without that loving grace. And Green Door on 8th is the place.

While visiting a friend in Inverness, we decided to explore The Tilted Teacup. High tea is a small…read morepassion of ours, and over the years we have experienced many tea rooms across the country and abroad, so we arrived curious and ready to be charmed. The tea room itself is a beautiful, eclectic house. Spacious yet cozy, decorated in a delightful hodgepodge of styles that somehow comes together harmoniously. It feels whimsical without tipping into chaos. The kind of place where teacups don't match, and that is precisely the point. Making reservations was pleasantly easy. I emailed on a Sunday for a Wednesday seating and received confirmation by Monday. I was mildly surprised they did not require a credit card deposit, something many tea rooms now request given the labor-intensive preparation and delicate perishables involved. Their trust in the process is refreshing. Upon arrival we were warmly greeted and promptly seated. Amiee, the owner and our server, was friendly and engaging, walking us through the tea selections, the promise of unlimited pots, and explaining the offerings that would arrive throughout the experience. We ended up trying five different teas, each pot a small surprise thanks to Amiee's suggestions. I cannot remember all the names, but I can happily say we liked every one of them. One in particular tasted remarkably like banana bread in a cup. Warm, aromatic, perfectly balanced, and thankfully not overly sweet. We were also delighted by the Peach Apricot, bright and cheerful, and really enjoyed the Pomegranate Vanilla Lemur, which had a lovely layered flavor. We began with a creamy mushroom soup, rich and comforting. The scone, served before the tiered tray, was warm, buttery, and quite good, though notably without the traditional Devonshire or clotted cream. Still, it stood proudly on its own. The finger sandwiches were fresh and thoughtfully varied. The bread did not appear homemade, but the selections complemented each filling nicely and everything tasted fresh. The cheese muffin was flavorful, though we both mused that two smaller ones with a slightly moister crumb might have been even better. The sweet tier was satisfying overall. I was initially skeptical about the bread pudding, but the mini chocolate tart and a delicate lemon tart on filo more than made up for it. One of the highlights of the afternoon was chatting with Amiee about the journey of the tea room through the years, including the challenges of navigating the Covid era. I am always impressed by those who pursue a vision in the food industry. It is a difficult road, and places like this exist because of persistence, courage, and a genuine love of hospitality. Another pleasant surprise was the pricing, which is remarkably reasonable compared with the often lofty cost of afternoon tea elsewhere. All in all, The Tilted Teacup offers a warm, charming, and thoughtful tea experience. My friend and I left very pleased, well fed, and with the comforting sense that we had spent the afternoon exactly as it should be spent: with good tea, good conversation, and a table full of small delights. I happily recommend it.

Anyway, we walked in, and it is your typical diner atmosphere with a few seats and just felt cozy like a mom and pop kind of place. A young girl told us it was open seating, so we chose the nearest booth. Once we sat down, and made ourselves comfortable, the server brought us menus and asked what we wanted to drink. I got coffee and water, and my daughter asked for orange juice. The coffee was very, very good. I drank 2 cups before my food even arrived. We didn't wait very long before the food came, and it was a LOT of food. We both had to box it up and take it home. We both got the same thing, which was the scrambled bowl (I hope that's the correct name of the dish). It was very good. We both had the loaded egg with American cheese on it and it came with a busicut, toast, or bagel and since I can't eat bread, my daughter had my biscuit. She devoured that. She said she loved how the bread had just the right amount of toasting on the top, as though they butter it and put it face down on the grill. I will definitely be back again! PS the picture of the food does not justice on the taste of it.

The service was with a smile, but a tad bit slow, but it did not change my mind about my satisfaction of the place. The only other thing I will say is that my entrée came out much later than my other three table mates, which was actually several minutes later.
