I love tea and therefore I jump at the chance to go to a teahouse.  We ventured down to The Grand Tea Room because my daughter Teria has been there a few times and she thought that I would like it, so off we went on a Friday afternoon accompanied by my granddaughters Skye and Cherokee.

Our server Julisa had a positive attitude and was muti-tasking other tables at the same time.  We were served tomato basil soup, creamy and delicious.  We also had salad, fruit cup as well as garlic and parmesan on thin sliced bread.   The bread was so good we placed another order.  Afterwards we had shepherd pie, cream scones, apple scones, cherry scones; cucumber, chicken and egg salad sandwiches; pumpkin cakes, millionaire shortbread and apple truffle with crumbled cinnamon, all quite tasty.

Our reservations were for The Grand Tea Time which is $40 per person and you have a two hour teatime, but you will be able to eat, relax and enjoy it all during the time that you are allotted.

Four cheese ravioli 

Chicken piccata

Pizza






“To me, food is as much about the moment, the occasion, the location and the company as it is about the taste”. – Heston Blumenthal.

This is what I feel about Maggiano’s.  From the time you walk in until the time you leave, you will have had an enjoyable experience. We went on a Thursday evening around 8:21 pm. Our waiter Austin was just the best.  Such a welcoming we received, effectively taking our orders and communicating them to the kitchen, knew the menu and offered recommendations, very polite, attentive and he has such a positive attitude.

My daughter Teria ordered meatballs and spaghetti; my granddaughter Cherokee, Four-cheese ravioli; Jet, my great granddaughter, Kids pizza and me, chicken piccata.  I must say, I dare say, the chicken piccata was tender, tasty and I ate it all.  I noticed that the meatballs and spaghetti was disappearing because Jet decided she wanted the pasta and pizza.  Girl after my own heart.


The food, great customer service and the ambience is some of the things that I look for in a restaurant and Maggiano’s has it.

My granddaughter Skye and I went to this very interesting cozy little cafĂ© one sunny and beautiful day.  We both ordered the Cosmic Root Beer Elixir, which I have never heard of.  But I was willing to try.  It’s made with sparkling water, herbal soda, chaga and rehmannia mushrooms.  It’s gluten free, organic and vegan.  After tasting it, for me, you must develop a taste for it, but it wasn’t bad. 

I notice a lot of moms in the pace with their children which is why (smart) they have food for babies.  It is an inviting atmosphere and the people who work there are very friendly.  I will be back to try something else.

Now we’re talking.  Went to India Gate Restaurant with my granddaughter Skye for lunch and it was buffet time, $15.99 all you can eat.  There was a nice variety of food for the price and the food was quite tasty and well seasoned.  I had samosa, chicken tikka masala, aloo govi, tamarind rice, naan and a lit bit of almost everything else.  My taste buds were delighted.   This is a place to visit more than once.  Bring your appetite.
