Named for the wild plum trees surrounding this charming log building, The Wild Plum seats 32 guests in the dining room and a few more on the screened front porch next to the stream. Their menu includes sandwiches and house salads with choices changing daily. In the autumn, desserts include Pumpkin Pie and Amaretto Bread Pudding. We had their delicious specialty chicken salad, wild plum tea, wild plum muffins and their Hummingbird Cake. A charming little gift shop overlooks the dining area.
Prices are moderate.
Delicate finches flying within the windowed aviary blend with the restaurant's natural forest surroundings and add greatly to the understated grace of its dining rooms. All servings were plentiful and, in true country tradition, breakfast included fresh stewed apples, southern grits, homemade buttermilk biscuits with sausage gravy and our choice of bacon, sausage, pork chops, chicken breasts or rainbow trout. Pancakes, waffles, omelets and country ham with redeye gravy are also available as well as a low cholesterol egg substitute. Assorted specialty sandwiches, huge salads and pasta are offered during Brunchbreak. Candlelight dinners can include one of their special house combinations - an 8 oz.
