Our waitress was attentive and really helpful. I had the dried turkey for lunch, which came with a side salad and an ice flight—everything was spot on. The ice was great, and the coffee paired with the doughnut was simply amazing. I would definitely return. However, I didn't inquire about any food allergies or options.

The entrees and appetizers were exceptional, and the cocktail menu was impressive as well. The desserts were also fantastic. read more The entrees and appetizers were exceptional, and the cocktail menu was impressive as well. The desserts were also fantastic.

From the moment you walked in (everyone in gloves/masks, tables socially distant and time slot seatings to when you left (we even left with two extra wine bottles from their distribution center next door! , it was a wonderful experience. While they have over 40,000 bottles of wine in stock, we struggled to find something on their list that we'd like. Thankfully they have a sommelier on staff who was able to share some additional options that weren't on the menu (and who didn't try and sell you the most expensive bottle . As for the food, it was AMAZING. Side note I requested a hot water with lemon at the beginning. As I was taking my last sip, they were coming out with a new one. As our wine glasses got a little too low, they immediately came over to pour. Their attentiveness (for what you're paying was much appreciated and well executed. Ok, now the food. We had the gnocchetti sardi (little gnocchi with pheasant ragu, pecorino, and truffle which was TO DIE FOR. I would have had this as my entree alone. A must get. As another appetizer we had the foie gras. Having foie gras the night before at a different restaurant, THIS was the way and quality it should be consumed. Entrees were the suckling pig (not the whole thing, but a sizable piece and the special cod (I know, cod right? which came in an amazing seafood broth with calamari, clams, and artichokes. Both were incredible in their individual flavors. To finish, we had the apple crostata (could have had more apple than crust, but a wonderful flavor and the dark chocolate bavarois (think the consistency between mousse and fudge covered in a chocolate shell . Pluckemin Inn did a fantastic job, and we will certainly be back.
