The Pluckemin Inn

Yes, go here. I had been putting off trying this place because the regular menu seemed boring. However, we went because of the good reviews and word of mouth and were pleasantly surprised. Our first time, they had several specials, of which I ordered an appetizer, lobster salad, and a steak for an entree. The lobster salad was innovative and delicious. It was not what you'd expect a salad to be. It was not traditional - small chopped veggies with micro greens and a delicious sauce/dressing. The steak, forgive me I forget the cut, was to die for. And the sauce it was in was delicious. My boyfriend had a veal chop as an entree, but I forget his app. The veal chop was out of this world. I thought I hated veal (and I do, when it's prepared smashed to death and breaded) but now I love veal chops and have since bought them to make at home. The drinks were also amazing. We went back a second time and there were no specials left except a porterhouse which we were not in the mood for so we ordered off the regular menu. I had cod which had a barbeque glaze. It was different, something I wouldn't think of and the flavor and texture was fantastic. The fish was cooked perfectly. I ordered tuna poke as an app. The tuna poke was good but not as eventful as the previous app. I will definitely be going back but will definitely be hoping for more specials. Id give a 4.5 if I could because the regular menu is less intriguing than the specials but I'll give it a 5 in this case because the atmosphere is wonderful. Very intimate and quiet. It has multiple floors and it is just very pretty inside. There is a wine closet/case encased in glass and it sits in the middle of all the floors and spans the entire building. It is, overall, a great experience. The servers we had were also very friendly and helpful.

Simple food well-executed with an excellent wine team that fulfills their high expectations.

Apple turnover cake and veal chops were my favorite of the night.

I really appreciate that a well-run American restaurant with a good wine program still exists in this day and age.

I had a company lunch at Pluckemin Inn and it was pretty good. We didn’t have the full menu, but options were great. I had a pumpkin soup that’s was pretty tasty, a turkey sandwich and a chocolate mousse for dessert. All food was tasty and service was great! We never had a glass without water on our table!

Met a friend and decided to sit at the bar. The Staff is unbelievable with the service they provide. Assisted me with gluten free items. Started with a few oysters which had the great fresh taste. Chicken over potatoes and vegetables with a sauce that was outstanding. Not sure about every Tuesday but that night was half price bottles of wine. How can that possibly be bad for you. Definitely plan on returning soon.

Hosted a group of clients for an educational luncheon. The service and food were outstanding. Clients loved it. There are fireplaces and a bar within. Very cozy and great atmosphere. The owner is very hospitable and service oriented.
