Tea Room Review
      If eclectic is as eclectic does, then that would explain the enduring success of The Posh Peasant that seems to just get better with age. This place was doing shabby chic before the name existed and doing it with flair. Just peek at their lunch menu to get a feel for the interesting flavors and whimsy this intriguing spot has to offer. I haven't been down to the Posh Peasant for quite awhile and the pictures on this site remind me of what I've been missing. It is unique and fun.
