    Our server couldn't have been kinder, but the host (ownwer?) really stood out. Both seemed to really care that we were enjoying ourselves. My mother-in-law is almost 90 and VERY slow. First, they made sure the path to the table allowed her to walk. Then, when we were the last people there, we didn't feel rushed. The food was very good and varied. The three of us in our party liked every single item.

    My daughter was in town for a visit and we went to the Oak and Rose tea room for the Kentucky Derby tea. We have been to tea places all over the country and this is one of the best ones. It was so nicely decorated with derby things on the tables and throughout the restaurant. My daughter really enjoyed the pimento cheese sandwich and the pecan praline scones were delicious. Can't wait for another excuse to go to this wonderful tea room.

    My husband and I took our 5 and 7 year old grandsons for tea and it was wonderful. Fun food for the boys to eat and the hot chocolate with marshmallows was a hit. The owner is so wonderful and came over to chat with us and made us feel so welcome and special. We will definitely go back.
