Just... wow! Bear with me through this long review, but it deserves every single praise it's given!…read more Once you step through the door of this magical hideaway, you'll find yourself transported to a realm where time slows, and every sip of tea feels like a gentle whisper from an old, beloved storybook. The moment you enter, you are embraced by a cascade of twinkling fairy lights that shimmer like stardust against a twilight sky. Fresh flowers bloom in every corner, their sweet fragrance mingling with the comforting aroma of steeping tea and freshly baked cakes. The menu is a delightful symphony of flavors, with each dish crafted as if by fairy hands. The tea sandwiches are dainty yet satisfying, their ingredients so fresh they seem to have been gathered from a mystical garden just moments before. The salads are vibrant and bursting with life, each leaf and garnish adding to the overall tapestry of flavors. And, of course, the cakes! The cakes are tiny works of art, each bite a burst of sweetness that leaves you floating on clouds of pure bliss. Even the soups, served in charming little teacups, are more than just a meal--they are comfort and warmth, a gentle embrace on a slow afternoon. Each spoonful is like a chapter in a story you never want to end. In this enchanting restaurant, you don't just dine--you dream. Every moment here feels like a stolen piece of a fairy tale, and you'll find yourself lingering, not wanting to break the spell. Whether you come alone to sip tea and read by the soft glow of the fairy lights or with friends to share laughter over a tray of delicate sandwiches, you'll leave with your heart a little lighter and your spirit a little brighter. To say that the owner of this enchanting establishment is just as magical as the place she's created would be an understatement. Kathryn is the heart and soul of this fairy-tale haven, a living embodiment of the kindness and beauty that fills every corner of her restaurant. Her presence is like a gentle breeze, warm and soothing, making everyone who walks through the door feel instantly at home. Her generosity is evident not just in the thoughtful touches that make each visit special--like the fresh flowers that greet you at every table or the extra care taken to ensure each dish is perfect--but in the way she treats each guest like an old friend. There's a sweetness in her smile that makes you feel as though you've known her for years, and a gentle warmth in her words that wraps around you like a comforting blanket. She moves with a quiet grace, always attentive, yet never intrusive. Whether she's offering a kind word, making sure your tea is just right, or sharing a delightful story, she does so with a lightness that leaves you feeling cherished and cared for. It's clear that this restaurant is more than just a business to her--it's a labor of love, a place where she pours her heart into every detail. In a world that often feels rushed and impersonal, the owner's presence is a reminder of the beauty of kindness and the power of a generous spirit. She has created not just a restaurant, but a sanctuary--a place where time slows down, and you can savor not just the food, but the warmth of human connection. To dine here is to be touched by her sweetness, and to leave with your heart a little fuller, your day a little brighter. Thank you, Kathryn, for creating such a beautiful safe haven for all who enter. As long as this establishment is standing, I will be there in attendance.

Yesterday we met my daughter and her family there. The kids really enjoyed the omelet station, where the server showed them waffles with sprinkles and whipped cream! They also enjoyed the scrambled eggs and bacon. I and my twin David ( lol) had the same delicious omelet loaded with veggies and ham and cooked to oorder. My daughter loved the eggs Benedict. There is a salad bar with fresh shrimp and all the accompaniments. The hot bar includes roast beef, ham, salmon, blintzes, grits eggs, biscuits bacon, sausages and much more. There are desserts too and my grandson had Boston Cream Cake, his favorite. The atmosphere is classy but relaxed and there are lovely views of the golf course and the pool. The prices are reasonable too, $28.95 for an adult and $13.95 for children. We recommend it highly!

However, it should be well noted that the end result was largely based on the efforts of our family and friends. While the lights provided by the venue contributed enormously to the ambiance of the evening, a lot of effort was put in by us to make the event memorable. We needed to clean the bathrooms, the tables provided were in bad shape and we needed to roll them out and set them up. Many of the table cloths they provided were stained and unusable. We had an issue with some of the lights not working and Rick (the owner) did come out and was able to fix them; however it would have been appreciated if someone had come out to check in and see how things were going. Bottom line, you can have a beautiful event here, but know you will have to put in the effort so consider it a DIY event. And for all that, 25$ taken out of our deposit!
