Tea Room

Parking was a bit of a problem. If you don't catch someone leaving a close in spot you'll likely have to park in their overflow lot, a grass area about a quarter mile from the restaurant. A refreshing little walk to whet your appetite, as long as it isn't raining. The food was excellent and they offer a variety of beverages, despite the name. They were quite busy when we were there but the staff was generally attentive and never lost their smiles while rushing back and forth. At least one more server would be helpful. With the large crowd navigating to the exit required a bit of patience and politeness, as we had one member of our group in a wheelchair. Everybody was helpful and understanding, really nice folks. All in all this is worth the drive south for a visit, more of an experience than just a nice place to eat.

Cauley Square itself is worth worth the visit. The Tea Room is no exception. Hands down the best onion soup in town. Their tea options are wonderful too. Definitely recommend tea service at least once. And the weekly lunch options are well priced and proportioned. The only "issue" is the hostess. She's not the friendliest but the rest of the team make up for it. I thought at first she was just having a bad day but after several visits we have realized she is just that type of person. So "don't take it personal" suits her I suppose. Still giving 5 stars on account of the wait staff and management, they make up for her out of place and poor demeanor. Also, the tea service has to be booked in advance.
