    Great brunch with friends! Only disappointment was when we booked a standard reservation that meant what ever was available.. thought it was inside. My error but note to any others booking on OpenTable

    Very loud atmosphere outside. I had a reservation but came early and they were able to seat me ahead of my reservation. The service was okay, I felt like my waitress was giving other tables next to me better service. That food was alright but the large cinnamon roll was good. When all the entrees came I asked the food runner for some salsa and he gave it to me but I was never told from the food runner or waitress it was an extra charge. They make you pay on a machine right it front of the waitress so you feel rushed to tip higher. I mentioned to the waitress about the salsa incident and she had nothing to say. Not sure I will ever be back.

    Such a great menu selection and they were eager to make modifications as requested. The mimosas were perfect and we ordered their famous cinnamon roll as an appetizer. The cinnamon roll lives up to its reputation- YUM! The food was very delicious with just the right seasoning. The service is personable without encroaching on conversations. We are definitely going back again and again!

    It’s just lovely, as always. Staff is so friendly, and the food is to die for. I have not ever had a bad meal there. My go-to place for brunch.

    It was very annoying that Plums would not issue separate checks - there were only two of us. Left that to the customer to figure out. Really enough confusion to make me not want to return to Plums despite the fact that everything else was satisfactory. Will go someplace else next time.
    Plums CafeResponded on June 21, 2025
    We are sorry but our corporate policy is to offer splitting the check evenly upon paying. We serve too many people daily to have the customers pick and choose which items they had which is why most restaurants will not allow split checks.
