The Wilmington Tea Room
While strolling the Boardwalk in downtown Wilmington last weekend, my huband and I happened upon this charming little spot. Tucked away in a cozy little corner of a part of downtown where the streets are still cobbled, this is a restaurant we wish we'd discovered earlier in our vacation. The view of the river and bridge from our table was spectacular, and was enhanced by the soothing music tinkling in the background. We ordered seafood bisque (superb!), followed by full tea service. Imagine our delight when we presented with such an elegant, plentiful spread! The scones are like none other I've tasted, moist and light - and decadent with fresh cream and strawberry preserves. The sandwiches were delicious! We especially enjoyed the ham salad on cinammon bread - so unexpected, yet so flavorful. Our presentation was topped off by some of the most amazing pastries I've had. We wanted to take the chef home with us, even more so when we found out she made everything scratch. After paying our (very reasonable) bill, we mdae our way back out into downtown with out tummies satisfied and our spirits lifted. Not before we noticed the outstanding sanitation score of 101.5. I didn't know that was possible! I'd like to praise the owner and staff of the Wilmington tea room for a job well done. This place is a much-needed addition to the hustle and bustle of a growing town. I hope you will continue to do what you're doing for a long time to come - I know I'll keep coming back!
