Sorry to say that the tea room is empty now and we will miss the times spent with our customers here. When we opened, Jennifer handled the front and often had her son Henry in a high chair behind the counter. Melanie took over from her and then Vladimir. I know many of you still remember both of them. Then came Shannon and finally Marcus whose artwork also graced our walls. Our first two servers were Stacey and Virginia who helped to set the tone for how much we cared about our customers which carried through over the years to Nita and then Christie, who was there until the end. Although we never haven't been involved in the cooking, we've been lucky over the years to have had some help. Some have stood out over the years with the treats they have left behind, such as Genyse's Raspberry Almond Cookies and Walnut Bread Pudding. Zachariah's contributions are too numerous to mention but include his Irish Stout Cheesecake and a Smoked Trout Soup to die for. (Just a heads up, Zach is at the Coffee House on Cherry Street now if you need a sweet treat.). At the end we were pleased to share La Donna's Navajo Tacos with you. Through all the years, beginning with Stacey's mother Karen and ending with Jason, our dishwashers helped to keep everything running, doing what I find the hardest job in the restaurant. We cannot thank them enough for all their hard work. And we cannot say enough about what a privilege it was to serve our customers over the years. Thank you all. The combination of everyone has made the Dragonmoon an unforgettable experience for both Sara and myself. I will continue to post as we determine what path we'll take in the future. Sweet treats to you all.
