This was our first time dining at The Pluckemin Inn and we were very impressed by the service, the wine list and of course the food! It was my husband’s birthday and the pastry chef gave us complementary truffles to celebrate. We will definitely be going back!

The food was good. We had a party of 4. In all we had 5 meals. We wanted to have the homemade gnocchi to share as an appetizer, but they ended up not having it. We ended up sharing the lobster ravioli, which was good. For our entrees we had the seafood risotto, which was excellent, the cod special (which was good but very small piece of fish), chicken dish and the yellowfin tuna special (was just ok). Overall, we had a nice time and will go back if in the area
