When you walk by you don't really know what's inside! At first glance it looks like an antique & craft store. Once inside and as you proceed to walk either around to the left or the right of all the neat items for sale, you are surprised by this tranquil area where there are 12 tables so elegantly set up. The beautifully light chandeliers deliver a fancy ambiance paired with the eloquent lace table cloths, mix matched chairs, all the way down to the mix matched tea cups & saucers & silverware it all just takes you away - back to childhood. It's absolutely perfect for a tea party and Diane has the Victorian hats and sashes for playing dress-up while having your spot of tea. Or relax, you'll spend plenty of time looking around their shop for as you look around you'll see something new eve... (more)ry time you scan the walls.
Their hours of operation are Tuesday thru Saturday opening at 11:30am. Tuesday and Wednesday they close at 4pm. Thursday and Friday they have a Dinner Special which changes weekly and served from 4pm to 8pm. Saturday they are open until 4pm.
On to Diane's Menu! First and For Most - all items are home made and all veggies & fruits ARE WASHED before cooked!!! Something you don't see on menu's of major restaurants or really know for sure they do.
The MUST ORDER or Specialty of Diane's are her Quiche's and Scones with De Cream!! Perfectly portioned, priced, and a parade on your taste buds!
Her Quiche's are anything but the norm. Diane serves a deep dish quiche which has more of the content than it does egg. Just to name a couple she cooks up, Portabella Mushroom, Asparagus, Spinach & Bacon and my favorite is the Chicken, Ham, and Brie Quiche, or should I say pie. Each bite is full of chicken, ham, and brie, the egg holds it together along with the cheese and the pie crust adds just the perfect texture! Plus she has some secrets in her cooking. Not only but also she makes sure you get your fruits by serving each dish with at least one piece if not several kinds of fruit, including watermelon, grapes, chocolate covered strawberry, and cantaloupe. Did I mention you also have your choice of salad? Pick from her homemade Green Bean & Tomato, Cucumber & Onion, Broccoli Salad, or Potato salad.
Diane's menu also includes homemade soup (changes weekly) and sandwiches. My favorite soups - Italian Wedding & Homemade Chicken Noodle, oh and Minestrone, and Potato...... It's a hard choice when trying to decide between her homemade egg salad, chicken salad, or tuna salad sandwich. Deli & pressed sandwiches are available too! **I'm starting to get hungry now***
When you come to a tea room you have to have the traditional tea and scone. At Diane's you have plenty of options when choosing a hot tea. Matter of fact there are approximately 40 different ones available. She serves I think 5 different scones, each comes with it's own serving of devinshire cream and like her Quiche, Diane's scones have a secret to them and you can taste the difference when comparing them to anyone else. She has a Blueberry, Chocolate Orange Zest Walnut, and my favorite Cranberry Orange Zest... my mouth is watering now!!!!
Thursday's & Friday's - the best days of the work week (Friday eve & pay day).... And the two evenings of the week when Diane dishes some of her traditional family dinners such as Cabbage Rolls, Homemade Lasagna, Stuffed Pork Chops, Stuffed Shells, Goulash, Pork Roast, and many more!!! You have to be on the email list to get the heads up on the weeks special, otherwise be surprised :)
They do offer a handful selection of beer & wine - she has Mimosa's too!
After writing this up, I know where I am going for lunch today & maybe dinner too!
Here I come Diane's Creations & Tea Room!
