Highlights from Sept's SWS


For a restaurant that is supposed to have a dark cloud over it, everyone had a great time, enjoying the wonderful food of the Plum Tree Inn. We hope this restaurant breaks the supposed curse and sticks around for along time.

Plus, not only did we all get our fortune cookie at the end of the meal (a Los Angeles invention no matter what they say in San Francisco), we were also treated to a ghost story from our waiter...

Although he made it clear that he, himself, did not believe in ghosts, he told us that someone supposedly died upstairs, on the second floor of the restaurant. He said many members of the kitchen staff have heard (late at night) the sounds of footsteps, or a commotion, coming from up there, however when they go to check it out,... there is no one there. He said that the second floor is vacant, and is always locked, and yet they keep hearing this "person" walking around the empty rooms.

Could this be the "worker" said to have been killed during a renovation? Is he still wandering around looking for something to fix?

The manager of the restaurant confirmed this story, and added that he has actually heard the footsteps himself, so he knows this tale is true. He said he is a firm believer in ghosts, but he is not scared of the restaurant's ghost, or ghosts in general, because as he put it, he is an honest man.
