After months of wanting to hit up Plank, the opportunity finally availed itself. Cutting right to the chase, I am giving this place 5 stars based on ambiance, and if course food and drink.
I love the size of this restaurant, and the lighting. Somewhat dimly lit, with lots of wood and stone throughout, one might mistake themselves for being somewhere more downtown. The bartenders were very friendly and were quick to talk shop with an amateur like myself.
Into the belly went the following (in no particular order): the pulled pork nachos (excellent), dumb son (siu mei - mediocre), salt and pepper calamari (very nice), and of course Mac and cheese sticks. All of these were share plates. I sat at the bar and kitchen counter and will definitely go for the "meat" special next time as the osso bucco and sliders looked amazing!
For drinks, the bartender made a fantastic manhattan which was followed by a proper whiskey sour for dessert. I will definitely be coming back with a group to check this place out again. Well done guys!
