    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!!!

    our waiter spilled water all over me without even acknowledging it. the food was very heavy. i never got the salad I ordered and it took very long for refills. will not be visiting again.
    PloughResponded on 8 February 2025
    Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear about your experience, and we apologize for the water spill and the delay in service. This is definitely not the standard we aim to provide, and we will address this with our team to ensure it doesn't happen again. We also apologize for the missing salad – we’ll look into that to make sure it doesn’t happen in the future. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we hope you’ll reconsider giving us another chance to provide the experience you deserve.

    Sat for 40 minutes without a server. When asked about it, the hostess told us to order at the bar if we wanted faster service as our server was “having a day”. Once we finally had a server, about 25 minutes passed between finishing courses. The birchwood cocktail was a glass of bitters that tasted like windex and leather. Comte tart and tuna tataki was good. Pappardelle had about triple the salt necessary and was almost inedible by the end of the plate. Really a dismal experience.
