    This place was amazing … the staff were SO nice from the hostess to the servers… we tried it for lunch as we were in town for Sight & Sound and had to go back for dinner. The atmosphere is elegant and relaxing with food choices to please any palate! Keep up the great work!

    This was my first time going to Plough and it did not disappoint. The entire experience was excellent, from the ambiance, the service, and especially the food. Everyone in my group loved every bit of food we ordered, and our server was fantastic. He was very attentive and friendly, and gave great recommendations. We loved how quiet the restaurant was which made for a comfortable experience with my group. The charcuterie board was fun for the whole table, my scallops were a healthy portion and so well cooked and tasty, and the chocolate cake for dessert was a must have! I will definitely be recommending Plough to others and coming back in the future!
