| - Plank is easily my favourite local restaurant. It is the go-to for girls night out, date night or family dinners.
It is a tapas style restaurant, so order a few things and share with everyone at the table. Usually when the girls and I go we order three Bits & Bites and a pizza.
The cauliflower fritters and sliders are AMAZING. They are ordered every single time. Tip, specify how you want the sliders cooked or they will come well done. The sauce that comes with the cauliflower is delicious. It makes the entire meal. I have yet to find any other restaurant that does cauliflower fritters as well as Plank. The burgers have bourbon braised onions and bacon aioli on them. Need I say more?
Another yummy Bits and Bites item is the duck poutine. Outstanding. The fries are cooked to perfection, gravy is delicious as are the cheese curds. Very flavorful. The calamari is delicious. Beef tacos are amazing as are the wings. My boyfriend liked the popcorn shrimp, but said he would order other things on the menu before he would order the shrimp again.
D'Italiano, Big Bird and The Interview are my favourite pizzas. The are thin crust and full of flavour. Easily big enough to share with another person. D'Italiano has prosciutto, shaved fresh parm and arugula. Every bite has a combination of all three flavours. They definitely do not skimp on their toppings. Big Bird has chicken, caramelized onions, bacon, goat cheese and pesto on it. Yum!!! So many amazing flavours going on there. The Interview is for those who like their food a little on the spicy side. It's topped with beef, kimchee, caramelized onions, spicy cheese, roasted red peppers and sesame seeds. It's the newest addition to the pizza menu and definitely does not disappoint.
Typically we wait anywhere from half hour to an hour on a Friday or Saturday evening year around. We've never had a problem finding a little bit of room at the bar and ordering drinks while we wait. Every time the wait has been over half hour we've been brought pizza balls with marinara sauce. It's a nice touch! It is loud in there. Not much can be done about that, it's a busy place that is typically always packed. The decor is awesome. Literally full of wooden planks. Very relaxed, trendy atmosphere.
I can honestly say we have never had a problem with any of the staff that have served us. All of the girls have been really sweet and smiling. They explain the new menu items and when we order sliders, they make sure there's enough on the plate for everyone to have one. We've had more than one server tend to our table. One might stop by and see if we need drink refills, another may bring the food. The food rarely comes out at the same time. It's brought as it's made so that it is hot. Since we order everything as a shareable, we never mind.
They have a great drink menu that changes seasonally.
I'm surprised to see so many poor reviews based on my experience over the last few years. If you're on the fence whether or not to try Plank, do it!
