It's rare that I will eat at the same restaurant twice when visiting a city for a week or less. I made an exception this week - eating here once with my wife and again several days later entertaining clients. Great atmosphere, wine, food, and service.
With roughly 400 labels, the wine list deserves its own review. I didn't count but I'd guess there are at least 75 labels accessibly priced at well under $100 a bottle. That's typically where I do my wine drinking. If you're lucky enough to be seated in Kate's section you can simply explain the types of wines you are fond of and let her take you on a journey through obscure and very lovely bottles. This alone is a good reason to dine as a party of six - more bottles, more journey, more fun.
Not to be outdone by the wine cellar, the kitchen swings well above its weight-class. The daily fish crudo is a must. Everyone loved the Tamarind Glazed Cauliflower. Charcuterie boards are beautifully prepared and include a nice variety of meats, cheeses, and spreads.
As far as entrees go... meat lovers will fall in love with the braised pork shoulder - perfectly cooked meat that practically melts in the mouth. The daily "Market Fish" is served in a bowl with crispy rice, beets, peanuts & chili lime jam -...
Read morePluck has an extensive wine list with a focus on Old Word offerings. My party of 4 was promptly seated last night and recommended an excellent bottle of Gigondas AOC from Domaine Raspail-Ay. We enjoyed it so much we had two which was an excellent decision given the modest markup Puck had for this great bottle.
Entrees are small plates meant for sharing of which we had many. The croquettes were heavenly. We loved the chef selection meat and cheese plate. The brussel sprouts were cooked perfectly. The steak was great quality considering the price. We had both the bread pudding and moose for desert which was an excellent decision!
My only recommendation to management would be add more Châteauneuf-du-Pape. You only have one bottle for $1200. There's many you could offer at a much lower price. I would certainly come back and get some.
The atmosphere's relaxed but refined. I would recommend Pluck to anyone who's looking to share wine, charcuterie, and create some memories in...
Read moreReally nice upscale casual wine bar that’s open later than other restaurants, so great place to stop for late night food with chill vibes. So happy this place is close!
Came in around 11 and their kitchen was still open, service was awesome from the moment we walked in. We were sat and had drinks within minutes. Ordered the crab toast and fish collar special. Great late night menu and the food was delicious. Also whatever special sauce they had on the side, I’m pretty sure I asked for two more. Really great selection of wine and the server was knowledgeable and helped guide me to something I really enjoyed. This place seems like a top choice for date night or dark vibey encounters. I’m fairly certain I’ll end up here a couple of...
