It was one of those nights where we wanted to go out and do something, but we didn't know just what to do. We didn't want to go to a night club, nor did we want to sit through a movie. It was past midnight already, and we were tired from a car show earlier in the day. Anyhow, we heard one of our old friends opened up this lounge in the Winter Park area. So we took the drive, and here's what we thought about the place.

Tatame is a tea and sake house. It is located on Fairbanks just before Park Avenue if you're coming from Interstate 4. Just be on the look out for the big picture of Maggie Lee in the front windows. On the menu were various teas and fresh squeezes. They even have boba! Their sake menu had a good variety. We ended up trying several of their teas and boba. We also kicked back with pearl sake and a bottle of rain sake. Although they don't have a written food menu at the time, we did try their pork sandwich and Cantonese chicken.

It was a good time, we spent $120 between us all. Maggie didn't get on the guitar and sing while we were there, but we heard she's pretty good. There's bar stools, a comfy couch, or if you prefer a bed like area to relax on. The bathrooms are interesting, with their flip of a switch privacy glass. We'll be headed back there again, especially when we need a fix for boba in the late night. Only problem I could find, may be the parking. Here's a few pictures of us at Tatame on our first night there.
