...delicious hot teas, which are available by the pot ($6) and are served in porcelain teapots with silver strainers. Some of the suggested flavors include Bouddah Bleu, Bourbon and Karmel. For a main dish, try the grilled chicken breast with asparagus and wild mushroom salad ($21) or the grilled focaccia with grilled portobello mushroom, roasted pepper and goat cheese ($19)—both are light and flavorful.
