(March 19, 2010 - Mobile, Alabama)  The Tea Room offers a dining experience that takes guests to a land far away and to a time long ago. Now, with the addition of Kevin Brooks as Executive Chef, The Tea Room promises to expand guests’ culinary horizons with an enhanced menu and weekend dinner hours.

Classically trained, Chef Brooks owned Blu Bistro for five years, incorporating regional influences in each of his dishes. He’s renowned for his soups and stews, and looks forward to introducing playful twists on British favorites such as steak and mushroom pie.

“The Tea Room is well-known for its tea, quiches, soups and breads. We’ll continue to serve these crowd pleasers, but we also want to broaden our appeal. We’ll be offering heartier, richer lunch choices in addition to the mainstays,” Brooks explains. “Expect entrees such as shrimp and grits, even lamb or steak, at lunch,” he continues.

Brooks is also designing the new Spring Menu which will include traditional British cuisine with Southern influences. “Of course we'll have my gingham salad,” Brooks says, “along with some other favorites from Blu Bistro.”
