Dessert and finger sandwiches

Perhaps it's the desserts and finger sandwiches. The assortment tempts you for more than one trip to the buffet table.

Or, it could be the warmth of the fireplace. Add to that a melodic Chopin etude performed in the background on a grand piano.

Then comes the hot tea brewed to your table offering so tempting a flavor on an otherwise cold wintry afternoon in northwest Ohio.
