In response to Ms. Ober's review,I have called ahead to the Wild Plum Tea Room for reservations. The Smokey Mtn. region is always bustling with tourists and the Wild Plum is a popular spot. They have a wonderful reputation for good food across the region. Sounds like you and your husband hit them on an 'off day.' It happens to the best of tea rooms.

I was sorely disappointed with my experience at the Wild Plum Tearoom this fall (2007). I had been wanting to visit since their small write-up in the Gatlinburg Vacation Guide (plus what I had found on-line). Almost everything was a disappointment. The restaurant was very busy, we waited 15 minutes, and were then seated at a VERY tiny table (2 feet in diameter,if that) in the very corner of the crowded restaurant. The chairs were also small, ricktey, and made of wicker, which made my husband and I, who are larger people, feel very uncomfortable. The menu was limited, but the service was polite and competent. The food was terrible. The plum iced tea was okay (nothing to rave about). My fresh fruit was okay (how can you mess up fresh fruit?!), the orzo salad was good, but the chicken s... (more)alad was awful (a couple of large chunks of celery, two large cubes of chicken, a few other ingredients, and all bound together with Miracle Whip). The muffins were tiny (about 2 inches in diameter, with a tablespoon of jelly for all four of them). My husband said his tuna croissant sandwich was the worst he had ever eaten, and his soup was watery, lukewarm, and tasteless. The setting itself was pretty enough, but the worst part of the experience was the ambiance; we were mostly surrounded by people at other tables who were obviously (hard to miss the conversation when one is that close!) nothing but haughty, pretentious prigs! So sad that our hopes for a cute, tasty, and DIFFERENT restaurant in the Smokies were so cruely dashed...
