There is nothing I like more than indulging my inner Rose DeWitt Bukater and since it's the 100th anniversary of the Titanic, my girlfriends and I decided to put on our fanciest and most proper attire and have a tea party!
We all had the Champagne Tea and it's like we were magically transported to a different era; our posture straightened, our usual inappropriate behaviour and language disappeared, and we suddenly felt quite ladylike! The Arbor Tea Room is charming and the staff were polite, pleasant and quite proper. The food was delicious and we all agreed that this was definitely a place we needed to frequent. The Raspberry Butter was exquisite and a nice touch to the scones we enjoyed as we sipped our tea.
If you have never been to the Rutherford House, please put it on your "to-do" list. So charming and so quaint. A real treat for any woman.
