NOTE1: For a real treat, go to The Hotel and Tea Room in Davenport, FL
on a Friday evening. It is run by a true Little Old Lady, and she refuses to charge
big bucks! They have a steak dinner that tops Ruth's Chris' or Shulas. It is an OLD
hotel with a small dining room. The chef is an award winning Chef with Best-In-Show
awards for pies, pastries, and cakes !!! Our bill for two (salad, 1½"-thick-after-
cooking rib eye, dessert, and taxes) was only $66.00. They have a nice Afternoon
Tea. The breakfast is literally all you can eat for $6.00, tax included. Yep, six
bucks! The place is about 40-min from WDW, but really worth the wait. (Check them
out on Facebook or Internet-site.) Ressies required for Friday night steak fry and
most Afternoon Teas.
.
NOTE2: The only time we visit other TS eateries is to renew our ratings for the
eatery(ies). And, when we do these, we have "sampler" dishes (whether free
or paid) so we can try several appys/entrées without pigging-out.
