I wish I had taken pictures of the food! The owner and staff of this place are obviously super passionate about their food and service. Each person that took care of us was very knowledgeable about the menu and were quick with helpful and informed advice on wine pairings and other details. This is common enough in many high-performance restaurants, but what isn't, is that they returned afterwards to ask our opinion and make sure their recommendations hit the mark.We started with the charcuterie board, which was very thoughtfully put together and accented by excellent house-made pickles and preserves and mustard. We followed that with the Cataplana Mussels, which my wife absolutely ADORED, and Le Cochon ("the pig") which was probably some of the best pork I have ever eaten (and anyone who knows me will tell you that this is high praise from me!)It was a very busy Saturday night, and the kitchen was short-staffed. The manager and each of our servers made sure to mention this and apologize for it.Overall, it was a very pleasant dining experience and I am looking forward to going again and taking friends!

The food was absolutely AMAZING from start to finish. For the appetizers we tried the Brie & Garlic as well as the Stuffed Peppers with Pork and UGHHH love love love. The Cheese Grits?? OUT OF THIS WORLD as well. I had the Tumbleweed Flatbread as my main because we had so many different dishes to try between 5 of us and it did not disappoint either! I do give it 4 stars instead of five ONLY because the inside is a bit outdated and the environment is weirdly quiet for such a social establishment.

Had a friend's birthday dinner there and the food and wine was fabulous. The young man, that waited on us, unfortunately I did not catch his name, was excellent and extremely helpful. The entire experience was wonderful. I had an off menu special that was flank steak and it was probably the best I've ever had. Will definitely go again

Scott greated us at the door and made our experience so memorable from that point on! We each had a glass of wine (Pinot noir from willamette valley and Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand) and the Provoleta melted cheese dip to start. HEAVENLY. For our main course I had the wine poached halibut which packed loads of flavor without feeling heavy, so delicious. My husband had the baked rotolo pasta dish which comes out as pasta spirals filled with melty cheese and tender lamb. 10/10 on service and dishes, can’t wait to make this our neighborhood spot. Didn’t take any pictures because we were enjoying ourselves too much.

Went here a week ago last Saturday for a glass of wine and light entrees. We sat on the patio and had a lovely glass of wine before our food. Unlike other places, the music was at a nice level and we could actually have a conversation. Our food was divine; my husband had the oysters, I had the crab cake and we split the cheese grits. All around an enjoyable evening which we will do again soon.

I've only ever had the Calabrese pizza which is very good. I found out that when you order Togo, they automatically add gratuity. I think that isn't the right way to do it. You may not agree. I should reward you based on your merit, not automatically take it.

I brought everyone here for a birthday dinner and every single person said they wanted to come back to try more wine and more food. The staff is very friendly and were very accommodating for our group. They have a wide range of wine with varying prices so you can easily stay in budget but still try different wine that you might not see in the stores. The food might be the best thing about this place, every bite is unbelievably flavorful. This will be a staple in my eating out rotation!

The Plonk - a gem to cherish. Scott, Brian and Chef Kala are superb to work with. Collectively they orchestrated a beautiful dinner with awesome service and delicious food for our 14 guests . We highly recommend for a drop in or seated dinner. Thank you, Cathy and Dennis

After talking it up, my friend wanted to try so we came. We were seated right away but it took several minutes for anyone to come by and take our order..we even discussed just leaving altogether. In the end - the food was great. The atmosphere (outside on the patio) was great, but the service seemed lazy, disinterested, and forgetful the whole time (despite politeness). We will still be back because it's a date night staple for me and my husband.
