   Spa mother-daughter getaway concluding with a very nice dinner at Plank’s. Plank’s is DEFINITELY the place to be in St Joes in January, it was hopping! Noise level high. A fellow local spa guest mentioned it was the best restaurant in town. Apparently it was the first day of a new menu so service was a bit slower than usual, but the food was tasty. We enjoyed oysters, caesar salad, sliders w skinny fries, Gouda Mac n cheese, asparagus and a caramel brownie sundae. Our faves were the sliders, fries and Gouda Mac. Delish! Asparagus was a bit too greasy and slightly overcooked. However, overall we were very satisfied, full (!) and would certainly return if back in the area.

   This dinner was for my bachelorette party! My ladies and I throughly enjoyed the food and the atmosphere! I was sincerely congratulated by the staff and when my sister accidentally left her phone at the restaurant, they were willing to hold it until we could make it back, even though the restaurant had already closed. We had a wonderful time celebrating my second to last day of being a single woman! Thank you for making this celebration extra special!!

    I've been to Plank's several times and had great experiences. This experience was not even close to the same experiences as in the past. The cocktails weren't as described/ordered. While the mussel app had fabulous taste, they weren't cleaned thoroughly enough and were extremely gritty. The Autumn Salad tasted like fish and the "candied squash" didn't taste candied at all, and was uncooked and/or extremely hard. The added chicken didn't accompany the salad, was brought separately and eaten separately. The manager was kind and did replace the salad, but it tasted exactly the same, so either the same salad was sent back or there is a serious flaw with the dish. When we addressed it with the waitress (who was also very kind) after the second salad was provided, she indicated that several people from a large party in the adjoining dining room had also ordered the salad. When asked if they ate the salad, she did not respond. And while the Ceasar Salad was definitely edible, it just did not taste like the traditional salad/dressing, and the menu did not indicate otherwise. While I've recommended Plank's to many people in the past, I'm not sure that I can in the future.

    Plank's TavernResponded on December 14, 2022Lisa B- I am glad you have been a frequent guest of ours and it sounds like you have had many great experiences. It's very unfortunate that one time can skew your perception on a business. We are a small business and the only restaurant in town that is open for Breakfast, lunch and dinner all year. Of course we could of had an off day and we apologize you were not happy. I would advise rethinking your decision to not recommend us after one negative interaction/experience. Happy Holidays!

    Good variety on the menu. Food was tasty. Staff was friendly. Overall, we did not wait long periods between our courses but did not feel rush either.

    First time at Plank's and it was a winner! We wanted to go early for our anniversary dinner so I reserved a table at 1730. They also honored my request to be near the fireplace. Plank's had an early 3 course dinner and a wine special. We both loved the sesame seared tuna - outstanding value. The service was also excellent and Isabella is a keeper! Will go again

    Sushi night was well presented but had a grocery store taste. No real flavor bombs. I was hoping for some fresh tuna or salmon cuts brought in since it is a Wednesday special.

    We have only been to this restaurant twice since we are from out of town (Goshen Indiana) but the food and the service have been excellent! They were very busy on Saturday morning with some big groups of people but our food was served within 10 minutes of ordering. We will come back again!

    Mission accomplished. We needed a semi-quiet place for our dinner meeting. We were placed in a corner table which was ideal. The food and wine were good. Bri (our server) was fabulous. She always is.

    Plank's never disappoints. We went there for brunch after the season ended. From the food to the service to the atmosphere, everything was lovely. Everything was perfectly cooked and the server never let our water glasses go unfilled. She was friendly and attentive. We tend to avoid Plank's during the season but love it October to April!

    First time visiting this restaurant. We had brunch. Food, service & ambiance were wonderful. We sat on the patio and had a nice view of the water. Only complaint was that the hash browns were a bit greasy. Otherwise everything else was great. Would return if ever in St Joseph's again.

    We reserved this place for our anniversary because we saw the amazing reviews. We arrived 5 minutes before our reservation and were seated immediately. The inside of the restaurant had about half of the tables filled which wasn’t busy at all. The menus were a QR code on the table that you scan with your phone. This takes you to the website which has multiple menus and you just have to guess which one is right. We chose what we wanted from the menu but still had not been seen by a server it took 10+ minutes for another server to ask if anyone had been with us. We waited another 5 minutes without being seen. At this point we had enough and decided to leave. I wish we had gotten the chance to try the food.
