| - I had the pleasure of having lunch here with my yelp buddy, Lisa G. and her well-mannered little guy last week. I took vacation during restaurant week so I could purposely try different places. Though Plum wasn't participating in Restaurant week, it has been on my list of places I MUST try. This area of Shadyside is booming with restaurant activity and shopping places so it was quite a treat to find a parking lot above the restaurant for free!
We arrived there shortly before 1pm, and there were only a handful of people dining at this time. It was very quiet inside. The place had an echo to it, however the décor and the setup was lovely. I did feel the urge to keep my voice down as it seemed to travel all threw the place.
To start we ordered drinks. The waitress was very sweet to my friends son, and made his little drink to his exact specifications. Gotta love a man who knows what he wants:) I ordered an Asian Sangria. I am not sure what makes it Asian but it was yummo. Very refreshing, but a little on the pricey side.
For lunch I ordered octopus sushi a la carte, and Shrimp Pad Thai which I requested be prepared spicy at a level 8. I can say I actually found a sushi I wasn't thrilled over. Don't get me wrong it was fresh, I just didn't dig the octopus the way I thought I would. But it sure made a pretty picture. My Pad Thai was pretty good, but not really spicy. The waitress recommended another dish since I requested spicy but I stuck to the Pad Thai. I love when the staff recommends things, I probably should have listened. I look forward to returning hopefully for dinner next time, oh and next time here I am going all sushi baby!
