    We had a great service and great meals. We got the steak and pasta dishes. The mushroom lasagna and pork pappardelle were super yummy. Our waiter helped us with wine selection and it was also excellent. We had a great night out at Plough.

    We have been here multiple times. Tonight was not up to par. Service was mediocre and the server seemed disinterested. The appetizer was great. The meals were very average.

    Experience and food was outstanding. Only issue was that we reserved a table for the Valentine Prix Fixe menu and they sat us by the loud bar. I wish we were sat somewhere else.

    My Fiance and I went to Plough for Valentine’s day. The food was out of the world. The waiter, L, was amazing as well and took good care of us, always making sure our waters were full and explaining the menu items to us! For a valentine’s day meal we were surprised with a rose at the end which added a super special touch to the evening. 10/10, 5 stars, would highly recommend. If I could give more stars I would!!!

    Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are so glad to hear L provided you wonderful service on Valentine's Day! We hope to see you again soon!
