a lunch date at wisteria twig
After my first experience at Wisteria Twig I just knew I had to introduce this place to my hubby and girls. We went to try the lunch menu two days after the breakfast tea with my friends. Andie couldn’t join us this time, but I look forward to treating her and her BFF Trisha to a tea at Wisteria very soon.
I love the selection on this menu. So many tempting choices. I had heard good things about the “Hot Twig” sandwich from my friend Jane, so I decided to try that. Rita told me these sandwiches are inspired by the traditional, hearty dish in England called a Hot Brown, and I learned a little bit more about this sandwich HERE. Apparently the hot brown is a rendition of the fare served across the pond. These sandwiches are served open faced with meat and other toppings generously piled on the bread and gooey cheese melted over the top. It was wonderful. Had I known that it would be so filling, I wouldn’t have ordered the soup du jour (chili con carne) as a first course. Live and learn. It really was fantastic chili, so I’m not complaining.

Jeff ordered the California Club and said it was very good.
and Gracie had her favorite…BLT.
for dessert…
Jeff and I each had a caramel bar.
and Gracie had a lemon poppy seed scone with Devonshire cream and lemon curd.
I love this place and I can’t wait to go back with my friend Sandy this upcoming Friday.
Where is your favorite place to take tea?
Happy Teatime Tuesday!

I think on Friday we will have brunch at the tearoom don’t you think?
Sounds good to me! 🙂
Love the look of her new menu and these don’t look like the Telaflora teapots I had in the article with her…Beautiful teapot. Does she sell any cups/saucers, teapots or gifts anymore???
Minimal gift selection…the main focus is definitely the tea and the food.
Wow, that looks fantastic!
Next time you’re in RW, you may have to make a reservation for tea 😉
Beautiful teapots and china!!! LOVE the tealight pot (assuming that’s what it is?) If I ever make it to RW (I’m a little slow getting there as planned LOL) I want to try this place!
just let me know when you’d like to visit! I’d love to take you to tea 🙂
I had the great pleasure of introducing my granddaughters to the art of high tea at Wisteria twig. Our hostess was very accommadating and made sure the girls had a memorable time. They even got to pick out vintage hats to wear. The tearoom itself is wonderful and very nicely decorated. It’s nice to see an old building put to such good use. The food is the real star of the show, very tasty and beautifully served.I now have a standing tea date with my two wonderful granddaughters.
Hello Donald,
I am so pleased that you had a good experience at Wisteria Twig. Thanks so much for commenting. I will pass the praise on to Rita, the proprietor.
Best,
Melissa
