“ Whatsamatter with me? Why has it taken us so long to get to Plank? Head slap. We did not delve today that deeply into the very nicely curated seafood menu that Plank boasts, but what we enjoyed proved exceptionally good. We went with a bottle of the Guinigi Pinot Grigio. It proved to be a very nice pairing for the seafood. It had been decided in advance that we would try Plank's Redfish Ceviche appetizer... perfectly marinated redfish, leche de tigre, avocado, red onion, and black garlic. After we had ordered it we saw the Chilled Seafood Platter offering which includes shrimp cocktail, 6 oysters and this ceviche. We asked our server Caity if the portion of ceviche on the platter is the same as the appetizer, if so could we do the platter. It is and we did. Hence the ceviche which would have rested in the center of the platter is missing in my pic, as it ended up arriving first since it had already been prepared for the table This is a wonderfully unique ceviche preparation. Actually, it rolled our socks up and down. It is absolutely spectacular. Next visit we'll be ordering a serving each! The large shrimp on the platter were perfectly cooked and the East Coast oysters were lovely. Plank's mignonette is quite pleasant and their cocktail sauce is outstanding. Especially if you're a horseradish fan. This sauce is horseradish forward and this horseradish is on fire! So good. The other eye dropper bottle on the platter beside the mignonette contains Crystal hot sauce. Crystal!! We have never seen Crystal in a restaurant away from the north Gulf (of America : ) coast before. Our fave. What a special treat to find it here. For an entree we decided to share the bacon wrapped shrimp. This consists of four large grilled, bacon wrapped shrimp stuffed with jalapeño and aged white cheddar atop Plank's savory dirty rice with green beans and tomato, and topped with a chive-horseradish remoulade that compliments the grilled shrimp perfectly. And get this, the kitchen split the plates! We didn't even request that and there was no split plate charge. Class act. We each, being old-timers, took half of our half dish of grilled shrimp home for another meal. Our server, Caity, was not only very cordial but also perfectly attentive and thoroughly knowledgeable about each dish and its preparation. Impressive. I also discovered today when I pulled the take home containers from the fridge that Caity had labeled them "His" and "Hers". LOL. Nice. I've posted a video to share with you Plank's attractive interior and open kitchen. ”

“ We came to celebrate a birthday lunch with a small group. Dined in the dining room in a comfy booth with plenty of space to have a great conversation. We opt'ed for appetizers and wine. We tried a little of everything from the starters. Oysters were delicious! Would pair well with a martini!!! Our server was excellent, attentive and even brought over a birthday card. Can't wait to return! ”

“ Food: Amazing, I really thought everything was good and it has the right amount. It's not overwhelming or underwhelming. It's just right. Oysters were fresh and they have happy hour on certain oysters u can get for $1 a piece. Sushi was delicious and their appetizers are great! My espresso martini was made right and strong! Service: our waitress was super attentive and took really good care of us. Ambience: place speaks for itself. It's really pretty and beautiful! Lighting is amazing! The decor is super well thought out! They have bar seating booths, and tables! Lighting in there is great! Lots of room for photo ops which is a plus on my end! Haha. I'll be back! ”

“ Nice atmosphere, but we chose to sit at the bar, there were a good amount of guests in the space, but it wasn't crowded. The service was sufficient, but with the understanding that sitting at a bar top during happy hour can be hit or miss. I did enjoy my old fashioned. The "risotto's" flavor was good, but it didn't really give risotto, and I felt the salmon was a bit overcooked I could take blame for that as I didn't specify how I would like it cooked. Otherwise it was a good experience, I'd return for a different dish or cocktails ”

“ First time trying Plank after being to this shopping area several times. Overall the experience was good. Our server was very good and the food was overall good. The soup we ordered was spicy and overall excellent and the red fish was good. Overall not amazing but not bad, I'd visit again if wanting seafood. ”

“ This restaurant is consistently such a pleasant experience. We went for Costal Hour (Happy Hour) which is from 3-6 daily. Great deals and attentive staff. We had Chef's Oysters ($1 per oyster) and the spicy tuna and everything maki roll. I love this place. ”

“ One of my friends told me that this place had one of the best sushi happy hours in the area so we had to give it a shot. Price wise I'm not sure if I would consider this a happy hour but didn't matter because every single thing was delicious! The broiled oysters were the star of the show but the sushi rolls and the hush puppies weren't too far behind. Def my new go to spot! 10/10 ”

“ Beautiful restaurant and unique decor. Very eye-catching upon arrival. We sat in the middle of the dining area so we had a 360 degree of the whole venue. We ordered the Sake Ceviche Maki to share as our starter. That was exceptionally good. I had the Bacon Wrapped Shrimp that came with dirty grits. The size of those shrimps was great. The one thing on this dish was the one-note salty dominance. Couldn't really get much of other flavors, except maybe the smokiness. My fingers puffed up right after that from being very sensitive to salt content. Hubby had the better entree with the branzino. Very well prepared, no overwhelming flavors. Perfect balance with the pesto and the refreshing crunch with the succotash. Overall, I enjoyed the ambiance...don't know if I'm dying to go back again. But decent on first try. It was my birthday so they were attentive to make me feel welcomed and celebrated. I'd say if I could give half stars, I'm at 3 1/2 stars. ”
