Mary Ann's Tearoom

Our traveling teapot visited Mary Ann's Tearoom today.  This is a new tearoom in St. Louis city.  It hasn't even been open a year and it was my first visit there as well.  Sexy was very excited to go to Mary Ann's after looking over their website.

When we arrived the entrance was begging us to enter striking.

The tearoom was in the rear of a very posh boutique.  When you step into the room, it is like stepping into another era.

Our table was set with Royal Albert china and fresh flowers.

Sexy once again captured attention as she took pride of place on the table.

Service was prompt and we had a waiter and busboy fans of tea and Dr. Who.  Here is our waiter, Gavin posing with us and Sexy.

The fool had a lovely presentation.  The scone course had three varieties cinnanmon, raspberry, and blueberry.  They were served with three types of fruit conserve as well as clotted cream.

The savory course was composed of tiny chicken salad tarts, salmon mousse served in a hollowed cucumber, potatoes with creme fraiche and caviar, and egg salad sandwiches.

Our Sweets course was chocolate dipped strawberries, iced oatmeal cookies, tiny cheese cakes, chocolate petite four, and a tart with a chocolate chip cookie crust and Nutella filling.

Although quite beautiful the food was unfortunately only average.  However, having our first taste of caviar did make up for that.

When we were finished with tea, our waiter presented us with beautiful yellow roses.  It was the perfect finish to a lovely day.
