Love this place! Came here for dinner last night and was very impressed at this addition to North City Park. With all starters under $10, entrees under $20, and all bottles of wine under $45, we will be back! Got to try: - Fennel and apple banger - Lamb meatball flatbread - Cauliflower and turnip gratin - Pork loin with apple/leek mash - Salmon with horseradish pierogies - Squash with white bean ragout - Cherry and apple clafoutis Everything was absolutely delicious. Each dish on the menu has its own beer or wine suggested pairing, which is fun and makes things easy. Dinner for 3 with 1 beer, 1 cocktail, and 4 glasses of wine was under $170 (before tip). Great value for delicious food. The ambiance is great as well - very solid neighborhood restaurant! The only room for improvement is at the bar - it's not fully stocked, so not all cocktails you might want are possible. Hopefully as they are successful in the coming months, they'll add to the liquor selection. read more

Soooo Good! Girlfriend picked this restaurant for her birthday dinner and we loved it. Had a few drinks, Chesapeake bay oysters rockefeller, Smoked & braised beef rib and Fruits de mer. Restaurant had a nice vibe and it was pretty full yet service was perfect. We will be back! read more

The Plimoth - Fruits de mer, Smoked & braised beef rib - Italian Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Didn't have a reservation and they accommodated our last minute decision. Even though we were seated at the bar top by the window, I did not feel like we were treated any differently than the table tops. Our server was very personable and knowledgeable. Made great recommendations which we followed and loved everything we ordered. Its definitely a place I would visit again. read more

My husband and I love this place so much. The food is a combination of comfort food and innovative gourmet fanciness. It's always delicious and well cooked. Portions are very generous compared with some of the other first class restaurants we enjoy. The wine selection is scrumptious too. The space is adorable and the staff is super friendly. We visit for our special dates, birthdays and holiday events. read more

So we live like four blocks from here, and I can't tell you how awesome it is to have any restaurant, let alone such a nice one, in the area. My great hope is that the Plimoth survives forever (which it should, based on the reviews and the crowds) and that it shows some other businesses that North City Park is not a place to be feared. It's sad that the rest of this strip of business is empty and dilapidated, but let's all hope to see some businesses open next to the Plimoth soon. The restaurant is a small, open room that looks to retain some of the old features of the building while being updated into a more modern, inviting space. It's a little tightly packed and as such the noise level is a little high, but it can't be helped. Our server was friendly and attentive, but with a menu that uses such cutesy terms (wilties, pearlies) and unusual ingredients, it would have been nice to hear a little bit of explanation on some of the menu items, especially since the menu only holds a handful of things at a time. We had some chicken and some steak, and both were solid dishes. My steak frites were cooked appropriately though still had more chew to them than I like. The potatoes were tasty. But the dish was a bit simpler than I would have liked. The chicken was juicy and tasty but again, not completely memorable. For such a nice restaurant, I have to give them props on their pricing. Dishes that would be $25 elsewhere all come in under $20 here. It's also amazing to see what they can pump out of such a small kitchen. The chef and owner must be bold people to see this space and challenge themselves to open this type of a restaurant. We did enjoy our time here, but for a place that has such outstanding word of mouth, I guess I was expecting a little bit more. Because we live nearby, I'm positive we'll be back and will try some other things, and I expect that we'll be blown away next time. For now, I would say we had a three star experience, but I'm adding a fourth star out of goodwill, as a thank you for opening in our underserved hood. read more

Pretty disappointed in The Plimouth. Me and my friend both ordered the gnocchi. Hers came out burnt and mine was so undercooked it was sticking to the roof of my mouth. They comped hers but I had to pay for mine. We also got the brussel sprouts, which were better. I wasn't really impressed, but I wouldn't rule out going in the future. read more

The Plimoth - Italian Near Me - Denver, Colorado

The hubs and I came here on a whim last night for dinner and were extremely impressed! First and foremost, our server was awesome. We both sat down and looked at the menu and had NO idea what each dish was. Our server came over and explained his favorites in detail and his recommendations did not disappoint! In addition, he was great at checking up on us and making sure we had full water bottles at all times. Secondly, the food was delish! We listened to all of our servers recommendations and he was three for three on good ideas! We ordered two appetizers and split an entree. The menu rotates daily so my assumption would be the items may not be there the next time we go. The sauces were what made the dishes - they were so tasty and flavorful. You could tell they really wanted to ensure that each piece of the dish was perfect. The only complaint is the proximity of the tables. It is a very tiny restaurant and the space can get extremely cozy. The couple next to us during dinner was a little loud and obnoxious - I recognize this is not the restaurant's fault at all as they don't choose their patrons. However, with this being said, be ready to get up close and personal with your neighbors! read more

A menu worth going for! I got the chance to go to The Plimoth for a friend's birthday dinner. She was put on "stand-by" for a reservation the day before, but got a call the day of that they had a spot! As soon as I arrived, I loved the vibe. This place has an upscale, but homey feel (and I'll tell you now that you will pay upscale prices). A host took our coats for us and seated us promptly. The layout is small, and open, making it an exciting and loud hang out. The place was packed, there wasn't an empty seat. Our waiter was impressive! He had great suggestions and gave us great, attentive service. But let's get down to it...the food was stellar!! Our group of 4 tried 3 different dishes: 2 chicken, a beef, and a fish dish. My chicken was one of the best I've had in months, with perfectly prepared sides. From start to finish the food was excellent. I will say, that I wasn't thrilled with any of the wines our group had, but who knows, it could have just been my mood. read more

This place has so many people taking about it I couldn't wait to give it a try. I had heard it is as good or better than a longtime favorite, Z Cuisine. Disclosure, I have only been to The Plimoth once and Z Cuisine at least 300 times. Not. Even. Close. The food here was ok, certainly edible, but not amazing nor memorable in any way. Sadly I can't even recall what I had other than I didn't enjoy it and kept thinking, how can any of this be the food compared with Z Cuisine? Other than The Plimoth offering many of the same dishes perfected by Z Cuisine that's where the similarities end. Our table started with drinks which were each nicely done and delicious, followed by a complimentary tiny bowl of what looked and tasted to be day old popcorn, oddly seasoned and mostly old maids. What? I actually really enjoy some of the better bagged popcorns available but this offering fell under the table and even the dog walked away. Out of four, two in our group ate it but said they kept eating it only because they were hungry. Plus it added a sports bar feeling which was unwelcome in the quaint room. Hard to tell what the intention was but am hoping they skip that addition in the future. After my visit to The Plimoth I find all the rave Yelp reviews difficult to swallow. I'm guessing because of their "nothing over $20" statement many have been primarily influenced by their wallet. Nothing wrong with that but the close comparisons to Z Cuisine are highly inaccurate IMO. We even went with suggestions from our annoyingly attempting to be in-the-know yet perhaps more-suited-for-selling-used-cars server, only one of which I can recall at this moment, the Cracklin Chicken ordered by a male in our group (who has only been to Z once) and his comment was, "it's ok, I wouldn't order it again though". I believe that the best cooks/chefs of anything from a burger on up could have learned and honed their skills in a barn or at the finest European culinary establishment. What matters most to me is their intuition, creativity and execution. The results of which are immediately evident and may linger for days, weeks or longer. I would rather pay more at Z Cuisine for their always delicious, highly memorable fare less often than return for any of the several dishes shared by our party at The Plimoth. Two and a half stars for the experience rounded up to be polite. read more

This definitely did not live up to its hype. The food was good, not great, and I enjoyed the ambience but it wasn't particularly cool or special. The few entree selections did not provide much variety for someone who doesn't eat pork and were rather expensive. It wasn't bad by any means, but I was expecting more. read more

Such a gem! Wonderful service and even better food. I can't believe I'm just finding out about this place. We had the cracklin' chicken and it was one of the best meals we've had in a long time. We will be back! read more

First, 5280 just listed this #4 on the best 25 restaurants in Denver, so reservations and patience would be expected in the next several months. It's wonderful to see such fine dining coming into what was once a neighborhood in Denver you would avoid. Also, with the most expensive entree less than $20 you get very high quality food at reasonable prices. I started with a tomato and bread salad - wonderful. The house made kielbasa - amazing. The pork - good, not great, but perhaps in reflection of the first two dishes. The plum tart dessert - wonderful. My dining companion's Crackling Chicken - wish I had gotten that! I would have given the plimouth 5 stars, but the service was a bit precious; the waiter a bit delayed in his attention, and his affect somewhat "look at how wonderful we are and how lucky you are to be here". The host was gracious; the cocktails were as good as I've had anywhere. We'll be back. read more

We were visiting Denver for the weekend and staying at a nearby AirBNB when we saw this amazing place. The Plimoth is an adorable restaurant near the City Park in Denver that's open for dinner Monday through Saturday. I found the ambiance extremely romantic. They have a really nice patio, as well as a warm, inviting dining area inside. When we arrived around 6:30 PM on a Saturday, the dining room inside was already pretty packed, so we decided to sit on the patio, which was quiet and relaxing. I'd recommend making a reservation on Open Table if you plan to come during a busy time. In terms of the service, I thought our server was excellent. He checked in with us the perfect amount throughout the night and was extremely friendly. In terms of food, I thought it was equally spectacular. For dinner, we ordered the Long Island Duck, which came with amaranth & pumpkin seed porridge, juniper kraut, burnt carrots, and garden squash. I'm obsessed with duck and thought this was delicious. We also ordered the Country Style Pork Rillette, which came with pickled jardinière, crostini, and funky mustard dollop. I also found this delicious. For dessert, we went with our server's recommendation and had the Palisade Peach Truffle, which came with vanilla custard, crème fraîche mousse, Kentucky butter cake, and almond streusel. I gobbled that completely whole. Probably one of the best desserts I've had in a very long time. In terms of drinks, we tried ordering a white port, but they only had a little left. As a result, they brought us a glass of tawny port at no charge. I was SO impressed. In sum, this is an amazing date spot that is sure to impress anyone. read more

Hands down one of the best new restaurants in Denver, and I have a feeling it will stay that way. This place serves honest food at honest prices without a lot of the BS you see in other restaurants today (vegan blather, overdone craft cocktails, etc.). These guys know food, they love their customers, and that is evident all the way through the meal. Oh, and did I mention that it's really f*ing good? A few highlights: 1. The dining room is beautiful. Cozy, simple, warm and inviting. They preserved a lot of the original details of the building and added some cool design touches. It feels very modern, while not being overly industrial. 2. The service is impeccable, but also comfortable and casual. 3. Often an open kitchen can make a dining room that small be noisy and loud, but this kitchen is set back far enough that the noise hardly penetrates the dining room. 4. Everything about this restaurant speaks to the food and the service. No gimmicks, no bells or whistles. Thank you! 5. The food is hearty, comforting and classic. It's honest food crafted by chefs who love to eat. Food Highlights: * The terrine was textbook perfect. Flavors were bold. Texture was sublime. * The scallop dish with pumpernickel stuffing was out of this world. I could have eaten a bowl of the stuffing on its own. * Pork chop was cooked perfectly. The pairing with apples and horseradish was classic, but the presentation felt fresh and modern. * Beef shank was divine with a deep, rich sauce, exactly as it should be. * Desserts were all excellent, simple and well executed. The crowd favorite was the Pear Tart, but we all wished we could have a little more on the plate. Meyer lemon meringue was a nice, unexpected surprise and if the clafloutis is on the menu order it. Wine pairings and suggestions from the resident wine expert were spot on, and cocktails coming from the bar were excellent. Can't say enough good things. Just go. You will be happy you did, and you will go back. I promise. read more

This new gem is walking distance to my house and with that convenience I have already eaten there twice and tried almost everything on the menu. The location is surprising considering it is next to a corner market smack in the middle of the north city park neighborhood. Interior is quite small so my recommendation it is make a reservation to ensure a table. They also recommend that you order you appetizer and main course together because there kitchen is very small. They offer a good variety of beers from Colorado and nice list of wines. Since the menu changes frequently and it has changed since the last time I went there is no point on touching on the dishes specifically but just know that the chef knows what he is doing and you will not be disappointed. read more

The Plimoth - Salmon! - Italian Near Me - Denver, Colorado

We live just up the street and finally decided to try this place. We had a reservation, but unfortunately weren't seated until 15 minutes later. The difference is that they know how to deal with this - they kept us updated, then provided complementary rosé once we sat. Good karma for patience, people! The food was delicious, and the service exceptional, even when they were packed and understaffed. I highly recommend, and we will be back! read more

Very very good. First time eating here after reading some great reviews. Appetizers were good, small but refreshing. Entree's were perfect size, and tastes amazing. Highly recommend. read more

The Plimoth - We came early but the place filled up quickly. - Italian Near Me - Denver, Colorado

This place was amazing! I am in Denver for a little R&R and my Airbnb host told me about the Plimouth. I was in no way disappointed. Johnny the bartender picked most of my meal...I like to be a little adventurous. Johnny surprised me with the chicken liver paté to start. It was incredible. I almost had it again for dessert! My entree was the crispy airline chicken with burnt bread sauce. WOW! what an incredible flavor profile! I finished with honey-lavender frozen custard and a wonderful sauterne to finish. Amazing experience overall! I may move to Denver just for the food. read more

Love love LOVE this restaurant!! Even with Covid restrictions they knocked it out of the park! One of the best filets I've had ever! Even had our own private hut with heater. Hands down one of the best restaurants in Denver!! read more

I had my birthday dinner at Plimoth this summer and was so pleased by the entire experience. We arrived a little early to have a couple cocktails before dinner. The bartender was eager and charismatic. He took the time to go over each drink's ingredients before we ordered. We were a little high maintenance with our questions, and he was either a.) genuinely excited to help us figure out our selection or b.) a master at faking it. I settled on a whiskey drink, per his recommendation, and it hit the spot. My friend opted for a tequila cocktail and she found it refreshing and the right amount of sweet. Now for dinner.... ahhh! I highly recommend the Farmer's Market salad. Its ingredients are constantly evolving based on what's in season and what happens to be on the stands at the farmer's market that morning. I got the Cracklin' Chicken and enjoyed it, but a few of my friends ordered the beef brisket dish and I was incredibly jealous. It was mouthwatering good, and accompanied by cornbread served in adorable little cast iron skillets. I immediately went home and started looking online to figure out where to buy these in hopes of crafting a similar dish at home! The kitchen was a little backed up once we were seated, so the waiter brought us some complimentary appetizers- a very nice gesture. Even though the atmosphere inside the restaurant was buzzing and so was our group's conversation, it was nice to have something to munch on during our extended wait. The waiter also served us up some complimentary limoncello shots to finish up our evening and toast to my birthday. All in all, GREAT food, GREAT hospitality, and a place I will definitely return to. read more

Really refreshing to get amazing food for reasonable prices. For those of you sick of the over rated small portion LOHI places, check out The Plimoth. A true neighborhood eatery! read more

First time to the Plimoth and we were so happy with our server, Mitch! First, Mitch was experienced, friendly and genuine. He gave great recommendations and was SPOT ON on them. The corn bread, amazing. The cocktails, delicious. Then the main courses of a beet salad and the vegetarian dish which was complex but not overly so. We loved all of it. They had a very ecclectic wine list as well. We will go back for sure! Thank you Mitch! read more

Dinning at The Plimoth was a wonderful experience. Even when it was on the busy Valentine's Day. I must say I am a little biased because the executive chef, Pete Ryan, was my instructor at Cook Street School. But I have a good reason to be biased: he was one of the best teachers at the school. He has an amazing knowledge of cooking techniques, ingredients, food culture, wine, French/Italian classic cuisine. He was also always very patient and calm, so I imagine this fact reflects in his kitchen at The Plimoth. The ambience was busy but welcoming. The level of noise was a little high since the room was packed, but that didn't bother us. The lighting is cozy and the music selection, of good taste. The hostess was very sweet and our server, Mitch, was professional, kind and friendly. Imagine you have a friend who is a great chef and he/she invites you to dine at his/her house: that's how you feel at The Plimoth. The food approach is honest, a little bit like "home food" elevated to perfection, and it's obvious that the best ingredients and classic cooking techniques are used. For the appetizer course I had the Cauliflower Turnip Gratin which was a memorable little dish, very delicate and tasty. For the main course I had the Cracklin Chicken with basmati rice and fresh salad: the meat was moist and the skin was crisp, the rice was very good and the salad, perfectly balanced. The combination just did it for my deepest cravings. Actually I am craving this dish again as I write this. We had Apple Tart (with almond flour crust) for dessert, one each, as they were small. I am not a dessert's person but I can't forget that tart. I need to go back just for the dessert. The menu is not very extensive which I think it's a good thing. The size of the dishes were just right as well. The bartender looked very experienced and he was very helpful (actually I just found out in their web site that he is the general manager). We asked for suggestions and he was down to earth, not trying to push anything else besides what we asked for. In summary, we had a great experience for a very decent price. Make sure to make a reservation before you go, as the place is busy. And by the way, we are going back there next Saturday, I can't wait! read more

Overall the appetizer and entrees were great: the broccolini was good - nice acidic flavoring, but at times had overly salty bites, chicken entree was juicy with a crispy skin, and mussels entree had great flavoring but I was left wanting a little more bucatini pasta. However, the desserts weren't the best for my chocolate and pastry loving taste buds. There was no chocolate dessert option!!! So, I settled for the apple and cherry dessert, but the pastry was not crisp (more of a soggy bread pudding consistency) and I barely tasted any cherry flavor (albeit after two glasses of wine my taste buds might have dulled). Hubby had the pear tart and the pears tasted great, but the pastry was all crisp - almost an overly baked taste. The server was wonderful, even gave me the light arm touch (I don't mind the touchiness - from appropriate people, of course). The slight negative is that the dining area is small and crowded, which makes the dining experience loud and not intimate. Hubby and I were leaning into each other to talk and, at times, I had to ask him to repeat things, when I was interested. And, in moments when we were eating, I could hear every detail of how the engagement ring design of the lady at the neighboring table was chosen (she was giving advice to her friend, who I assumed was getting or hoping to get engaged). I even stopped myself from making a personal comment to my hubby because I didn't want my neighbors to give me a snarky look throughout the rest of my meal. So, great food sans dessert and maybe not great for a first date. read more

Well, I think the buzz around Plimoth is well-deserved! Atmosphere: chic, romantic, modern (open kitchen - it's amazingly tiny for how many dishes flow out of there!), clean. Love. Drinks: great selection of everything, from wine to cocktails to beer. Nice. Food: the dishes we had were wonderful and creative, obviously the chefs are meticulous and know what they are doing! But, not quite 5 star for me due to not having very little vegetarian options :-( And seemed to get a little flustered at the dairy-free request on top of that. Come on guys, this is Denver, half of the city has some special diet needs! read more

To say the food was delish is like saying water is wet. I'll share with you a little secret, the food is amazing! They obviously spent time searching for great staff! My experience at Plimoth exceeds expectations read more

The Plimoth - Black cod with Japanese yam, chard, and a lemon (?) sauce; very delicious. - Italian Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Walking in around 7:00 is a risk we were willing to take but we were seated immediately. The door staff acknowledged us right away even though the door/ entry was crowded & kinda awkward. The food menu was small. They were even out of one of the three "medium sized" appetizers. We decided on 4 things to try. The brioche was more or less a piece of dry-edge brioche with a thin layer of creamy light cheese & some blanched veggies. Not something to crave or order again. The pork rillette was awesome! It was spreadable on crispy toast & came with an amazing whole-grain mustard type accompaniment. Order it, it is awesome! The cracklin chicken was good & had a really nice overall flavor & the spaetzle was cooked perfectly. Get a little bit of everything on the plate together in one bite. Lastly the bratwurst itself was nicely flavored & had a very garlicky flavor (which we all enjoyed) but the potato salad was so strong it took a bit of getting used to. The mustard & horseradish (I think) was really overwhelming. Service was on the slower side & we were never talked to once our entrees arrived. I really wanted to order a glass of wine with the main course but our server wasn't around. On the plus side, when I did ask for a glass of wine (because a fellow had brought me a drink list when he saw me looking around), I wanted something that they didn't have by the glass. The waitress asked the manager for something & she poured me a wine that was not available by the glass. The manager, I'm assuming, (nicely dressed gentleman) was keeping an eye on everything & touched our table several times including dropping food & clearing plates. In short, I was not wowed by service but the food was delicious & I now have an idea of how the menu presents itself. read more

Ate there several years ago and it was great. Honestly I'm not sure how much the chef is feeling creative these days. The food was underwhelming, especially for the price. Service was great! Lots of competition in Denver these days. Come on chef! read more

Great food, cocktails & people. Love this place. Sitting out side for dinner is lovely. Can't wait to return. 2 Thumbs up!

I've been riding my bike by this place for months, eagerly anticipating the day when we would finally have real food in the 'hood. And on Tuesday, my dreams finally came true. I was a bit worried, as my expectations had gotten so high that I was risking disappointment. I need not have worried. From the warm, cozy environment to the eager and friendly staff to the delectable and delightful dishes - the evening was a total success. The monkfish was to die for. I can't wait to go back! read more

I've been here twice, always food is hyper-fresh, imaginative and a delight to eat; service is attentive & knowledgeable. Ambience very hip. a new favorite! I will put it on my routine list! At the risk of making it very popular and difficult to get into, I give the plimoth my highest rating! read more

We were exceptionally pleased with our experience at The Plimoth. The food was excellent: from start to finish. We often find that restaurants excel in only one area, but not the Plimoth. Everything we had was delicious. The kitchen is small so it does take a little longer, but staff were very attentive and it was worth the wait. We also thought the price was quite reasonable for a lovely evening out. We highly recommend eating here and will definitely be back soon. read more

SO FANTASTIC!!! The pork rillette (fancied up pate) was divine! Our server Katie was extremely friendly and took the time to go over everything on the menu. Our party of four ordered different entrees so we could all sample. Everything was great. Special note was the braised beef shoulder. With a wonderful wine list to boot, this place is a great find. Go eat there right now. Make the reservation. You'll never get in otherwise. read more

I've been hearing great things for years and we finally made it over there. The Plimoth is upscale food in a romantic little place. The patio was super cute in a neighborhood that doesn't have a lot of patios. Everything we tasted was amazing and the menu changes seasonally so we will head back to try new things. The staff was very friendly and explained the dishes well. My only criticism is that even though we had a reservation, we were sat at the high top bar next to the door. I don't mind the bar, and liked facing out the window but every group that came in would stand around us while waiting for their table in the tight entrance. It took a little of the romance out of our birthday celebration and made us skip staying a little longer for dessert. Next time I'll request a table. read more

I visit Denver frequently for work, and have great local friends to recommend dining locations. This has been on the list for awhile so we finally made it there. Upon being greeted by a very friendly hosted, and then seated, I was immediately enamored by the wine list, menu and rose list. Yep...they have their own rose list. That isn't something I've seen before. I am not even a massive rose fan, but something about it made me smile! Our server, Mitch, was fantastic, provided great detail about menu options for us. The moral of the story here is everything on the menu has mass flavors, in part due to the heavy use of natural fats, butters and oils. So this is not a restaurant you eat at daily or while dieting, but it is a lovely restaurant none the less! Obviously, I started with a sparkling rose, which as stated by our hostess, pairs well with everything on the menu, hence its solo list! We started with the cast iron cornbread with homemade jam to start. It was perfect! Crispy on the top and bottom, moist in the middle, and the jam was lovely. I had the halibut for my entree and it was a beautiful piece of fish. Mitch recommended I swap the squid ink cauliflower for the ramps and potatoes, and I am very glad I did. These potatoes were smoked and prepared in such a flavor rich way, I ate every last one of them. It was a great meal from start to finish. I highly recommend. read more

I'm going to break down why The Plimoth didn't measure up to my expectations. I had previously deleted my Yelp account, but reactivated it to leave this review. I live in the Whittier neighborhood and was excited about this restaurant opening. It's very close to my house, and the buzz on Facebook was pretty good. First: a note for parents or people on call. You cannot get a cell phone signal at the Plimoth. If you have a reason that people might need to contact you at this restaurant, you might want to find out if you can receive a call at their main line. We got to the restaurant very early and were seated quickly. The first thing the hostess asked was if we had a reservation, and we did not. I was given the impression that I really should have called for a reservation before coming to the restaurant. They do not recommend a reservation on their Facebook page, although a link to Open Table is on their website. At no point during our dinner did I feel like we were welcome. The restaurant is very pretty, with lovely wall coverings, a good looking bar, and the kitchen in full view of everything. The space is very well utilized. It is part of a strip of buildings that include what looks like a storage space, maybe a laundromat. The Plimoth is really not well marked, so you need to look out for it. This could be improved by a sandwich board out front, or better signage. The service was slow, most likely because there was one waitress to cover the room, which includes a long bar style table at the front. The owner of the restaurant came by and did seem to be helping her. Still, it took about 20 minutes for anyone to notice our glasses were empty and another 20 minutes for my husband to get a new beer. We were asked how our food was the minute it was placed on the table, so we really couldn't answer. We were not asked again. The food: I am gluten free, and usually can find something to eat anywhere. The server was quick to tell me about everything I could not eat, which seemed to be most of the menu. She made a suggestion that I remove the spaetzle from the chicken, & that is what I had. As I have not had this dish before, I can't say whether or not they gave me extra vegetables to make up for it, but it was a very small portion of vegetables. While the entree was $17, I still felt it was not worth the money. My chicken was done, but just barely. The skin of the chicken was flavorful but the chicken itself was very bland. The cream that came with the vegetables was good. My husband got the pork loin and it was also very, very close to being undercooked. He didn't say anything while we were eating, but told me he felt like he was taking a chance eating it. I had one glass of wine, the "Tilia Malbec," which was advertised as "full bodied." It was not. It was very thin. Initially, I intended to say something to the server, but quickly realized that was what I was going to get, given the amount of time it took to get service, so I drank it. I did tell the owner the malbec was a very thin red. I also took a picture of the wine list, as is my habit when I go to a new restaurant. I like to try new wines. The owner of course, noted I drank my entire glass of wine, so it must not have been "that bad." It was not a terrible wine. It was a cheap wine, and definitely not full bodied. If you do a search on the "Tiliea Malbec," it is not considered a fullbodied wine. I never expected or wanted a different glass of wine because a look at their wine list showed me I probably wouldn't like the other options, either. The list would be helped by a better malbec or a cabernet sauvignon. When I got home and started to look up the wines, I quickly found the Plimoth's wine selection is really wanting, and they are most likely charging over the general standard of double the retail price for their wine. Their cheapest Chardonnay, which they sell for $6 a glass, actually retails for $5 a bottle. My husband drank the Yeti Stout, which they are selling for $8 a glass. That retails for $12.50 for a 4 pack, which is still a decent mark up on the price. We talked about getting dessert, but the waitress was quick to tell me they really didn't have any gluten free options for dessert. She then revised this and recommended a pudding, but her initial statement made me concerned. Overall: We were dressed in similar attire to the other patrons, but really felt uncomfortable. I have been following The Plimoth's Facebook page for a while, and making a reservation was not suggested. I did not try any of their cocktails, but they seem to average $10-12 a drink. The wine was overpriced& without flavor. The entrees were a standard price for the neighborhood, but I really don't feel we got any value for our money. We could not wait to leave. We will not go back. read more

We had friends in town, and wanted to take them out for a memorable dining experience. We made reservations about two weeks in advance for 8:30 on a Friday night. Unless you are ok with eating dinner before 5 or after 8:30, do yourself a favor and reserve a table a few weeks ahead so that you can dine at the hour you would like. Or, perhaps getting a table Tuesday - Thursday is a little easier, I don't know. Our table was ready right on time, which has been our experience every time we have eaten here. I still do not have any great insight into how a small, popular restaurant can be so good at this, but I have the impression that it has to do with the spirit of professionalism that permeates this place and is quite apparent in our interactions with the staff. It's typically a difficult trick to make complex logistics look easy so I would imagine some careful observation and trial-and-error went into this. For starters we had the smoked salmon royale, cauliflower turnip gratinee, and mussels. The smoked salmon royale stood out to us as a particularly creative and memorable dish. For mains we had the salmon, the chicken, the steak, and the red lentils/sweet potato dish. Here as well I thought the salmon was exceptional. For dessert, we had the bundt cake and pot de creme. The pot de creme is absolutely perfect. Mitch was our server and is just great at what he does. I am not sure whether I am more impressed with the staff or the food. Exceptional as usual. read more

I had been dying to try The Plimoth for the last few months, but as other reviewers have noted, you have to book your reservation fairly early to get in on a weekend. We happened to be in the neighborhood and though we didn't have a reservation, we only waited about 15 minutes before they were able to seat us.. Not bad on a Friday night. Inside isn't very big and can get a little loud, but it's definitely a nice space. The menu can be a little daunting.. It's not your average chicken-fish-or-beef-with-sides kinda situation. Everything is inventive, seasonal and unique. We tried the yellow cucumbers with a dab of mint cream to start and really enjoyed it.. Super light and refreshing for summertime. I ended up doing the cracklin' chicken (gluten free) and my husband ordered the steak. Sounds pretty average right? Not at all! My chicken came with a side of mixed greens, summer squash and tomatoes in a delicioussss, light tomato sauce, SO good. The chicken was UNREAL. My husband loved his steak as well as their take on potato salad that came as a side with mixed greens. Both dishes were really well balanced, well-priced and nicely portioned. (Side note- while they don't have a gluten free menu, they had plenty of dishes that could be prepared gf if requested.) It definitely took awhile to get our food, but I'll attribute that to it being a Friday night and to the quality of the meal. We didn't have room for dessert, but there was something in a skillet that kept going by us and it looked pretty amazing. The wine/cocktail/beer list is also really well put together.. Lots of options and price-points to choose from. . read more

Went there to celebrate my husband's birthday. They were very busy that night, and had to wait for our table to be ready. The complementary wine that was offered to celebrate my husbands birthday was overlooked during dinner (they called earlier to confirm our reservations). Our appetizer and one of our main dishes was delicious; meat was cooked well and the dish was full of favor. The duck leg however was overcooked and dry. read more
