Review of The Ivy Leaf Tea Parlor,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Most of the time the tea and food were make-believe,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but sometimes I would use some of the iced sweet tea that was always in the refrigerator and a few cookies.
Tea parties disappeared with elementary school. That is until recently,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], when I had a tea party with all the frills at The Ivy Leaf Tea Parlor in Crestview.
Our room featured a dining table and two small tables,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and could have accommodated a party of 10. They are filled with beautiful things,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and create a calm,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], elegant atmosphere.
And just like tea time as a child,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], guests get to dress up. There are plenty of options for ladies,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and for Ivy Leaf's gentlemen guests as well. The closets in the parlor rooms are open and furnished with dressing tables hats and stoles.
Service is perfect. A bell is placed on the table to ring for service,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but our hostess was attentive enough that we never needed to use the bell. We were warmly welcomed,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and never rushed through anything.
The bill is not even brought to the parlor room, but is instead settled in the gift shop when you are ready to end your tea party.
The Light Afternoon Tea is a good option at lunchtime. It includes scones,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], fruit,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a chicken croissant sandwich and desserts. But we opted for the works with the Royal Tea.
It started with soup and salad. In our case,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it was a small cup of delicate tomato soup with pieces of tomato and a touch of cream,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and a fresh summer salad with strawberries,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], pistachios,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], dried cranberries,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and champagne vinaigrette.
Next,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], we enjoyed fruit compote and scones. The compote included apples,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], blueberries,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], grapes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], strawberries and blueberries in a light syrup with a subtle taste of mint. Our scones were blueberry. These tender,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], faintly sweet biscuits were served warm topped with almond cream.
Our three-tiered tray contained a variety of tea sandwiches cut into fanciful shapes. Fruit and carrot sandwiches had a sweet marmalade quality. Classic cucumber sandwiches were fresh and light,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with a bright lemony taste.
Sundried tomato sandwiches served on rye bread were excellent,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. They had the tangy flavor of a Hungarian Liptauer cheese spread,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
For dessert,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], we had excellent lemon squares and cookies. Portions were just right to allow you to enjoy everything that is served without feeling uncomfortably full.
Ivy Leaf offers an extensive menu of classic black teas, specialty teas (flavored with fruit,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], chocolate,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], cream,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], etc.),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], green tea,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and herbal tea. All had different qualities that were described on the menu. We enjoyed blueberry tea iced and Morning Miracle hot.
Ivy Leaf is a great place to spend time catching up with friends,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or celebrating a special occasion such as a graduation,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], upcoming wedding or anniversary.
Tea time at Ivy Leaf is a wonderful,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], calm escape, and I enjoyed my tea party there. And this time instead of dressing up in Mom's finery,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], she joined me.
