| - Eighty Acres is a much-needed restaurant in Plum; nothing like it exists in this area. To dine like you do at Eighty Acres, you'd have to venture into the city. Glad to see Plum expanding its palate!
The service: Excellent. Called to make a reservation, and had no problem securing a table for six same day. Waiter was attentive and gave friendly advice when we could not decided between two entrees. Every employee had a smile on their face and were incredibly amiable.
The food: SO. GOOD. Portion sizes are on point. No leftovers at this table!
We order three appetizers-- shrimp corn dogs (fun idea, but tasted like carnival food), coyote queso (I did not partake in this, as it has chorizo in it, but the meat-eaters at the table cleaned plate), and mussels (drenched in buttery goodness, surrounded by beans and tomatoes). We ate every bite. It was the perfect amount of food.
I ordered the Scottish salmon for my main course and was incredibly pleased. It was cooked perfectly and sat on a bed of quinoa, spinach, and some sort of tomato salsa that added a great flavor to the dish. Despite being full with three bites left, I forced it down-- too good to waste. Everyone at the table ordered some kind of seafood and was happy with their choice. We all agreed that we had made the right decision to come here for dinner.
The ambiance: The decor was beautiful-- wood panelling on the walls, soft lighting, nice bathrooms (important stuff, you know), fresh holly on each of the table...we couldn't stop commenting on how well the place was decorated.
Will definitely be back over the holiday season!
