Very nice place. I highly recommend the broccoli cheddar soup and turtle cheesecake. They are kid-friendly. Love how they gave my daughter a teacup for her Diet Coke and a pitcher. The staff were great too. I recommend reservations. Will be returning.

Had a little wait for our table...waitress was great. Chicken salad was very yummy...chicken noodle soup was OK. Lemon pie was so light and yummy too. A little pricey...but a nice place as a treat.

Not a big soup person but the creamy bacon soup is worth the drive.

The sandwiches and desserts are good here. They are known for their 3-tier food offerings with a sandwich, soup or side salad, and dessert on the tier, running about $20. The sandwiches and desserts are especially good. I've been there many times--3 times in the last couple of months--and I am not impressed with their soups or salads. Their soups are not homemade--I was told by a server when I asked--and the side salads are very basic. Some dressings are better than others. I believe most desserts are made in house and are the "crowning jewel" on the 3-tier stand. Good service and drinks.

The Tea room is always my go to for a fun girls day or any special occasion! Really impressed by their gluten free offerings! Food is always top notch and the tiered presentation never gets old…so fun!

This is a wonderful, quaint little restaurant! The menu is set up so you can either order à la cart or a three course meal. I had the chicken salad croissant with a side salad and a chocolate mini Bundt cake for dessert. Peach pie was the pie of the day and the friends I was with said it’s delicious! The atmosphere is delightful. Service was excellent. There is a gift shop attached which has all kinds of cool items. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Amazing food wonderful atmosphere. Very good gluten free options with great attentiveness to safety. Before I could even ask about precautions the waitress shared that they change gloves and have a separate panini press for gluten free. And the gluten free coconut cream cup was incredible!

We had a wonderful lunch at The Depot celebrating a birthday. The food and service were phenomenal! It had been a few years since we had been there. It is a relaxing drive from Bloomington-Normal. Be sure to make reservations.

Great place for a special occasion! I see people wear sundresses and fascinator hats for afternoon tea. Food comes out in three tiers. Soup/salad, sandwich, and dessert. The food is absolutely delicious. Lots of tea options. They make homemade butter. Ours was strawberry. The restaurant is connected to a store that you have to walk through to get to the tea room. The waitress we had was so nice! Had a great time and can't wait to go back!

If you haven't been here you are sure missing out. Culinary art, tea and attention to detail are off the charts!! So kind and friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is so great. You will not be disappointed if you go. The food is outstanding and beautiful and so very delicious with large portions. The gift shop is a great addition. Go once and you will want to go again and again. This small town business is one you will surely enjoy!! A gem of a place ?from one small business owner to another, thanks for a wonderful time
