| - Several months ago, we (a group of explorative suburban yelpers) traveled to the land of Oakville and experienced all that we could in a single sunny Sunday!
By the end of the day four of us remained and we wandered into our last stop of the day: Plank Restobar. From the moment I walked in I knew that this was a 4+ star space and after eating and drinking everything that I did, it was/is definitely worth every bit of the 4.5 star I'm giving it.
This place has a rustic cottage/old house feel inside, with exposed wood fixtures and "plank" wood adorned on the walls (Ahhhhh I get the name already! but wait there is more...)
What won me over right away was the fact that this place describes itself as a bourbon bar (sigh... LOVE), and not just any old bourbon bar, one with an endless selection of bourbon options and a diverse cocktail menu to boot!
I started with my signature Old Fashioned (which was OK), however a short time later I ordered one of their specialty Old Fashioneds and WOW - this was the way to go. It put the ZING in AmaZING!!!
After a casual drink or two we decided on an assortment from their delicious tapas menu and shared in 4 tapas platters and a pizza:
The tapas we had were as follows:
THE GOOD/GREAT:
- Fried chicken - Moist and tender on the inside and crispy with a great batter on the outside. A VERY good Fried Chicken! YUM!
- Smoked chicken tacos - this was easily my favorite tapas item we tried. The smoked chicken had an amazing taste and accoutrements inside the tacos were equally tasty!
- Sliders - ultra tender juicy beef burgers on the small. Loved them and after we shared these 4 ways we were all hungry for more!
THE BAD:
- Cauliflower fritters - Not a good start, we all found these to smell bad and taste as bad they smelt, I don't recommend these one bit (shakes head.. NO.. NO)
THE PIZZA:
- We shared in the prosciutto and arugula. Crust good, toppings were ok but I felt it got a tad soggy if we didn't eat it right away. Overall Pretty good!
Other than a few minor hiccups with the mean (more my personal preference than anything) the only thing that was off was the low number of bathrooms. Certainly not enough to support a happening place like this.
All the above said the bourbon, staff, venue, and tapas won me over and I'll be back 1000% next time I'm in Oakville - come with me won't you?
Eatcrest Out!
