Tea

I enjoyed my first trip here and thought I’d introduce it to you, if you haven’t already been. If you're an early riser and need a wfh break, or you wake later and want to start the day off right, join me for a cup and some light convo. Friendly staff, dedicated parking, but limited seating, so grab a spot now. (No discussions on politics, religion or potentially controversial topics. We're here to relax and have fun. Just be respectful and we'll be alright. Pay your own way, and enjoy!)

Let us speak Italian and grab a drink or two. All levels welcome! Ci vediamo!

We’ll keep the group intimate so we can share dishes and try a little bit of everything. Please RSVP accurately so I can lock in the reservation. New cuisine. Great company. Zero regrets. Who’s in? 😄 \*\* Please bring cash. The restaurant can only do 4 checks for the table.

Join us for a tour of Brothers Drake Meadery in Grandview, hosted by the owner Oron Benary. He will explain the mead-making process and offer us generous samples of their fine meads. Mead is basically wine that is made from honey instead of grapes. There are many different flavors that range from dry, semi-dry, semi-sweet, to sweet. They are best known for their Apple Pie Mead. Oron has offered us a special price of 5.00 each person for the tour and tasting, which is normally 25.00 per person. I've taken the tour several times, and it's always enlightening and fun. Rebecca will bring a tea that will pair well with the mead for a tea tasting afterwards. Park anywhere around the building. Please avoid parking in front of the houses in the neighborhood behind the Meadery. Please keep your RSVP current. Knowing how many will attend will help Brothers Drake plan accordingly to accommodate us.
