restaurant tables in a vegetable garden

a short story by Connie Willis

titled - Even The Queen

an excerpt or two:

"It was one of those restaurants with a morning-glory vine twining around the maitred's desk and garden plots between the tables.

--

This is a great restaurant," she said. "you don't have to wear shoes." "and if you get hungry while you're waiting, you can just pick something." She twisted around in her chair, picked two of the green beans.
