Well-established for around eight years, this delightfully friendly little neighborhood table-service restaurant serves delicious menu items at affordable prices. The same can be said of the wines, which have been personally selected by owner/”Wine Sheriff” Scott Miller, whose background includes many years at Pappas Steakhouse, where he once served a $10,000 bottle. At Plonk the wines are affordable and good, and the list is surprisingly broad. A spacious patio provides a relaxed setting in which you can dine – and imbibe- at leisure. Plonk!
