    Espresso martini
    Lisa N.

    I'm a huge fan of the espresso martinis here. They come topped with a delicious foam that makes the drink feel a little more special. Plank Provisions also offers a great oyster happy hour. The oysters are consistently fresh, and I love that the vinaigrette is served in a dropper, which makes it easy to control how much you add to each one. The rest of the food has been more hit or miss for me, so I usually stick with the espresso martini and oysters whenever I visit. Those two items alone are enough to keep me coming back.

    I really loved this placeI went there for happy hour and the bartender is the best. He was nice and informative. I had 6 oysters but their sauce is so amazing, that I ordered 6 more. Then I had the rice balls with salmon on top, that was ok. But my favorite was the ceviche. It's the best I have had and I have had a lot. I really recommend this place.

    Plank Provisions at The Domain was such a great experience! We started with the hushpuppies, and that sweet dipping sauce on the side complemented them perfectly as an appetizer. The seafood pasta was also amazing, so rich and full of flavor. Great food, nice atmosphere, and a spot I'll definitely visit again!

    Stopped in while in the Domain for a show. We were seated right away even without a reservation which was nice. Service was super attentive which was awesome. I really liked the mahi mahi tacos- the flavor was great. Also like the flavors in the wonton tacos- spicy and delicious, but the downside is both tacos were a bit on the soggy side. I really also loved the oyster shot which was fun. They seem like they have a good happy hour and would love to come back for that!

    The staff were very friendly and attentive. There is a huge boat skeleton in the area that we sat and I thought it was pretty cool. came here early as our toddler sleeps at 7pm but in doing so, we are able to catch their happy hour. I had the golden beets, oysters and fish tacos. All were yummy. We did order a kids salmon meal (not pictured) and our son liked the salmon. The other items were too hard / sugary for a 14 month old - gummies and raw carrots. Would be nice if they served the kids meal with cooked soft carrots and rice. :)

    Came here to celebrate a birthday! Made reservations for a large party. Upon entry, we were seated immediately. Our server was friendly and helpful with good follow through. Place is open, bright with ocean decor. We started with the raw oysters and hush puppies. Then we ordered fish tacos, fish and chips, steak and a burger. Everything was good. Not sure why the hush puppies came with sweet and sour duck sauce but it worked. Overall, it was good eats in the Domain!

    This was my first time eating at Plank Provisions. We went on a Friday night with reservations for four. It was a good thing we did because the place was packed, the wait was about 45 minutes for anyone without a reservation. We arrived on time and were seated on the patio right away, which was a great start. The patio has a nice atmosphere and felt lively without being overwhelming. Our waiter was very attentive and did a great job keeping our drinks flowing. The table really enjoyed the cocktails, especially the cucumber collins and the sea foam margarita. For appetizers we shared the wonton tuna tacos and fried calamari, and both were tasty. For my main, I ordered the lobster bisque and it had a unique flavor that I really liked. My dinner companions ordered the baja fish tacos, Faroe Island salmon, and the redfish. We all enjoyed the night from start to finish. I would say this is a great midrange seafood restaurant, and if grading within that category I would give it 5 stars. If comparing it to places like Truluck's or Eddie V's Prime Seafood, I'd probably bring that down to about 3.5 stars. Bottom line: good waiter, good drinks, and good food.

    Rainbow Trout was perfect. Seasoning and quality of fish are perfect.

    We stopped by after buying clothes for a trip. The service was absolutely excellent. Daniel, the waiter, was attentive and informative. We ordered the Lobster and Shrimp pasta, and the rainbow trout with potatoes. Every night was a joy. Delicious. This is a great place; I will go back again. Super nice people, fun setting and decorations, with amazing food.

    Happy hour oysters
    Kursten M.

    I went back and forth on what to rate this place. It's probably somewhere between a 3 and 4 for me. My husband and I came in specifically for the happy hour oysters on the half shell around 3 pm on a Saturday. We took a seat at the bar. It was busy in the Domain but not super busy in the restaurant at this hour. We ordered drinks, oysters, and civiche. The bar tender was alone behind the bar and serving the whole restaurant. The service was a tiny bit slow, but it was easy to see why. The bar tender was very nice. It took quite a bit of time for my husband to receive his iced tea, but the oysters came out on a good pace. Our first round of oysters were not shucked well - there were a lot of shell bits left in the food. The various accoutrements for the oysters were nice! We got a second round of oysters that were perfect. I've visited this restaurant a few times, and I think this mix of great and okay is how they roll. The civiche was great. I'd go back just for this. A bit on the spicey side, which I really like. The restaurant is clean, well lit (but not bright), casual but still on the upscale side. I think this is a lovely happy hour spot. If their preparation was a bit more consistent, I'd probably visit regularly.

    Had the best happy hour experience at Plank! We stopped by during their daily happy hour (every day 3-6 PM- such a great deal!) and were blown away by everything we tried. We started with the ahi tuna wonton that was crispy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced, followed by the fresh ceviche and the beet salad, all of which were delicious and felt so fresh. The seafood really shines here. The cocktails were equally impressive- creative, refreshing, and expertly mixed. Great for sipping while you enjoy the coastal-inspired vibes of the space. The service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the atmosphere is perfect for catching up with friends or unwinding after work. Highly recommend for happy hour or a casual dinner, we'll definitely be back to sample more off their menu!

    We were up from San Antonio and decided to give this Domain eatery a try. We were absolutely thrilled! Our server, Esmeralda (Esme), was friendly, knowledgeable, and engaged without being intrusive. Great recommendations! The food was amazing...my flat iron steak was seasoned and cooked perfectly. The salmon was flaky and flavorful. The oysters were fresh and delicious... briny goodness. I highly recommend. Cheers!

    WHAT IN THE WORLD??! Plank has been on my must-try list ever since I saw the signage being put up. If I could eat seafood for every meal, I absolutely would! I wasn't sure what to expect--maybe something closer to a seafood boil--but after finally stopping by and giving it a try, I was even more delighted than expected!! My partner & I sampled a variety of sushi and shareables, and NOT A SINGLE DISH MISSED. What to order / tried & true: * Maryland-Style Crab Dip - delicious, so creamy, loved the fresh sourdough included!!!! * Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice Cakes - flavors, A+ * Yellowtail Sashimi - SO FRESH & tastefully cut/made * Yellowtail Serrano Roll - NO NOTES, refreshing * Sake Ceviche Maki I'm definitely coming back for their happy hour from 3-6 p.m. as they offer $1.50 East Coast oysters!!!

    Let's start with parking. It's all free and there's parking in the street or you can choose the pink garage just a short walk away. I knew I was coming here the day before with a group of 12 people which gave me plenty of time to scan through over 100 of the most current reviews. Plenty of folks raving about their experience here, but we all like to know where they fall short as well. Most of the yelpers here enjoy this place, but there are instances where service lacks, especially at the bar and either the food is too bland or salty. The crab cakes are small for the money, the oysters don't appear to be local and one reviewer compared it to an overpriced Red Lobster. Since this is a group setting, I should point out that they do have a room at the back which has a maximum occupancy of 19. They even put together a personalized menu for our group. The apps were good, the biniet style hush puppies paired with bacon jam were the best as were the brussell sprouts. The main course choices were mixed. The flat iron steaks were unevenly cooked, raw at one end well done at the other. The side of fries were boring in desperate need of ketchup. The salmon was cooked perfectly and flakey ( best not to order steak at a seafood restaurant). Our desserts came out a lot later than expected, and they were prepacked to go. Overall, the service was slow paced which we expected and the food for the most part was good and a step above Red Lobster. It's a place I'd come back to try again. 8 informative photos included.

    Ask the Community - Plank Provisions

    What time does the Lunch Menu end? and do they do the Lunch Menu 7 Days a week?

    Vegan or glutton free?

    Don't know about vegan (except that the vegans they serve are delicious), but Plank does have a gluten free menu, and there are several good options. (We had a GF member in our party the other day.)

    Good for a romantic dinner? How is the lighting?

    A little loud but excellent service so i say yes.

Unfortunately, the service was pretty disorganized. Throughout dinner, food meant for the table next to us was brought to our table multiple times. At one point, the table next to us was accidentally given two edamame appetizers. When they pointed out the mistake, they gave the extra one to our table, which we thought was a nice gesture considering all of the mix-ups. Then our bill came and we had been charged for the edamame we never ordered and were specifically given because of their mistake. We had to point it out and ask for the charge to be removed. Mistakes happen, especially during a busy event like Restaurant Week, and I completely understand that. But charging a table for an item they didn't order after your staff specifically gave it to them because of an ordering mistake was pretty frustrating. Overall, the experience just felt much more disorganized than it should have been and took away from the tasty sushi.

    Toshokan is honestly one of my favorite omakase experiences I've ever had!! The entire experience…read moreis just so unique from start to finish. It's located inside what I think is a mini golf place (or some kind of entertainment venue haha), and the restaurant itself is hidden behind a bookshelf like a speakeasy. I had never heard of the place before, but I thought the whole concept was SO cool. The omakase itself is incredibly intimate with only a handful of seats, which makes the entire experience feel really personal. Chef and his small team are all so warm and welcoming, and one of my favorite parts was that they actually encourage everyone to get to know each other throughout the meal. It ended up feeling like one big group dinner rather than everyone quietly eating their own meal. My friend and I were even watching the Super Bowl with everyone during our seating, which made the night even more fun! The fish was, of course, phenomenal. Every piece was prepared with so much care and precision, and you could really tell how passionate Chef is about his craft. I'd say the menu falls somewhere in the middle between a super traditional Edomae omakase and a more modern, creative one, which I personally loved. Everything felt incredibly thoughtful without being overly experimental. I also have to give a shoutout to their cocktail program because every drink we had was AMAZING! I don't even think there's a traditional drink menu. Instead, their bartender just asked each of us what kinds of flavors we usually like and created custom cocktails based on our preferences. Every single drink she made for my friends and me was SO good and paired perfectly with the meal. One thing to keep in mind is that each seating is pretty long--we were there for close to three hours! It definitely felt like an experience rather than just dinner, but honestly, the time flew by because everyone was chatting, eating, and having such a great time. It is definitely on the expensive side, but for the quality of the fish, the hospitality, and the overall experience, I thought it was absolutely worth it. One of my favorite little details was that the room is filled with Chef's personal belongings, books, and little collectibles, which makes the space feel so cozy and lived in. He genuinely welcomes guests to ask him about anything in the room, and you can tell he's just such a well-rounded and passionate person. More than anything, this was just such a FUN omakase experience!! If you're looking for something that's intimate, interactive, and a little different from your typical omakase, I can't recommend Toshokan enough!

Tucked away inside a mini golf course and hidden behind a bookshelf, the whole experience has this playful speakeasy energy before you even sit down. Once you step inside, the interior immediately transports you to the late‑night streets of Tokyo--moody lighting, intimate vibes, and that cinematic feeling like something special is about to happen. There are 6 seats. My boyfriend and I had such a fun, personal experience. The staff were incredible--warm, engaging, and genuinely excited to guide us through each course. The food itself was delicious, beautifully crafted, and felt customized in a way that made the night feel unique to us. It's the kind of omakase that doesn't take itself too seriously while still delivering seriously good dishes. I also highly recommend the sake and cocktail pairing. The bartender customizes it based on your preferences. I told her my favorite drink is an espresso martini and she made this really fun espresso, strawberry latte concoction. There is also a special house sake with an homage to the owner's cat. I love those personal details. It's always a great time at Toshokan, and I'll definitely be back again. PS it's a great place to celebrate your birthday or special occasion! They broke out a guitar to serenade me lol

Very polite and provided great recommendations for the night. Got the sake flight and all three I'd get again. Started with the Barbacoa dumplings....ummmm amazing, soooo flavorful. Next up was the Brussels sprouts and y'all those left with the bowl empty. The only rec I gave Austyn was to tell peeps to stir them to get all the sauce goodness mixed in.

Lastly, the Pork Chashu Fried Rice was a burst of umami flavor, from the shoyu glazed pork rib to the shiitake mushroom lying underneath. Solid dish--no notes! Service: No complaints!

    We always enjoy eating at Uchi Denver and wanted to try out the OG while visiting Austin…read more Reservations were tough to find during the weekend but we were able to lock in Sunday 4pm and were happy to see a happy hour menu with so many choices! The place was already full by the time we arrived, buzzing with staff and customers. Our server Jennifer was attentive and helpful with descriptions and recommendations. There were so many servers bringing different plates. One was even so thoughtful to notice and bring my mom a new napkin when hers had slipped onto the floor. We were very impressed with everyone we interacted with, even those who waited to allow us to pass as we walked to the back of the restaurant. You just felt the pride and courtesy extended by everyone working there. Well done by creating this ambiance and culture. Beautiful place and wallpaper, attentive servers, and fresh seafood made this visit a memorable one for us. Plates we loved: Blue fin nigiri (we ordered it many times) Hama chili (bring me a spoon!) All the hand rolls Gyudon Wagyu beef, crispy beef and broccoli (my mom doesn't like raw sushi) Shag roll Tasmanian ocean trout Sake Tom kha So many great flavors. We found it very consistent with Denver and can't wait to come back!

    The food quality at Uchi has gone seriously downhill over the past 10 years, while the prices have…read moresomehow gotten even higher. The sushi used to be fresh, creative, and consistently excellent. Now, some of the dishes taste more like experimental creations that don't quite work. For the price, I expected a much higher level of quality. The dessert was honestly one of the worst desserts I've ever had, completely disappointing. The waitstaff were the highlight of the experience and really the only thing that made the visit somewhat enjoyable. Overall, extremely overpriced for the quality of food being served. I was still hungry when I left and bank account smaller.

    This place serves happy hour from 4-6PM Monday - Friday, so we obviously had to come check out the…read morediscounted drinks food items! HIGHLIGHTS: 1. Lychee Margarita -- It was refreshing to see a margarita version of the traditional Lychee Martini. 2. Chicken Kara-age -- I loved their tangy and sweet dipping sauce that came with the fried chicken bites. It tasted like it had some fish sauce infused if you like that flavor. 3. Mini Sushi Tacos (2pc) -- Very delicious twist on the traditional taco! It was the perfect ratio of rice, fish, and avocado, and the crispy sushi shell worked perfectly! I wish they were bigger though haha. The stars of the show were definitely the Wagyu Land & Sea Sushi Roll and their infamous Uni Pasta. The Wagyu was very tender (almost melted in the mouth) and it felt like eating a "Surf & Turf" but on a roll! As for the pasta, WOW! The poached egg made the pasta extra creamy and the sea urchin and truffle flavors complimented each other so well. I'm so glad they waited to serve us this dish at the very end -- couldn't have ended the experience in a better way! Although our table size was small for our party of 2, the waiters were diligently taking dishes off of our table as we finished them. The service was wonderful, and we'll definitely be back again!

    This happy hour is PHENOMENAL, with a mix of sushi and hot plates I would absolutely recommend. The…read morefish at Soto is so fresh. I have been thinking about the Akami Nigiri since I left. The service here was great. The servers always follow up on food, and my water was never empty. This is the perfect date night spot.
