There's something about an old fashioned meal, served up in a classy, old-school restaurant that tugs right at the heartstrings. It makes us think about the way things used to be. The way the world was to our parents, our grandparents. A homey piece of history that's been forgotten to time. If you're looking to fall in love with the world that once was, you need to make your way to the fairy tale-esque beauty of the Wild Plum Tea Room.
