My Ocean Springs: 2007 in Pictures

Martha Reichard opened her Tea Room to enthusiastic reviews on Washington Avenue in 1991, and after sixteen popular years in that location, 2007 witnessed the restaurant’s move to a beautiful Victorian home on Government Street, featuring a wrap-around porch and outside dining. After all these years, Martha continues to make all her homemade breads, something she calls a “dying art,” along with scrumptious homemade desserts. Martha’s is a popular lunch spot, and despite its English tea room atmosphere, Martha taught me that it isn’t just for the ladies! At the restaurant entrance, a sign announces, “Real men eat quiche!”
