Plouf

So so so good. In a town known for its seafood, Plouf stands above the tide in an especially unique way. The variety of preparations for mussels may seem daunting, but I would recommend merely picking one with the knowledge right now that it will be good, so much so that you will return and try another version in the future. Also, I was surprised to see that the actual menu in comparison to the website had more than just shellfish, so don't be daunted if mussels aren't your thing. But unless you have an allergy or are averse to eating meat, mussels will become your thing after dining here.

Came here to celebrate my mom's bday. We made a reservation for 7pm. The actual place was hidden in an alley behind Kearny St. It was actually really big inside and a lot of outdoor seating. It was pretty empty for a Saturday evening. We sat in one of the booths, that could definitely fit a lot of people. We ordered the marinere mussels, salad, crab cakes, and creme brulee. The mussells were a really good price, with a LOT too. The salad was good to share between the two of us. I never had crab cakes before, but these were made really nicely! I really enjoyed them. We finished with a creme brulee. It was huge and definitely a perfect way to end the meal. I would definitely go again, as the prices were fair and the food tasted amazing. Inside is really big and roomy, which I appreciate. Service was also really fast and attentive.

5 stars! What a lovely restaurant. Beautiful location in an alleyway with outdoor seating. Lots of heaters so we weren’t chilly. Great ambience. Extremely friendly and kind staff. Our large dog sat outside with us and they gave him water. Food was wonderful. Lychee martini was delicious and bartender was friendly. Steak and French fries were absolutely delicious. It was my boyfriends birthday and they gave him a free creme brûlée. We will be back! Thanks Plouf!

Great happy hour! Plouf mussels are a must! Spicy, creamy and very garlic y! $1 fresh raw oysters. Duck liver pate was slightly sweet but the accoutrements offset it nicely. Shaved brussel sprouts are ok. Glasses of wine has several choices ($8-10). Service was friendly and attentive. Not crowded on a Tuesday evening.

Date night with my partner. Located in a side Alley of small restaurants and bars. Missed happy hour but was told later oysters are always a buck if you eat them at the bar. Nice outdoor covered eating area that has heater as it can cool down quickly in the evening. Had a great seafood meal. Calamari and steamed mussels were excellent. Crowd was young and a very nice vibe to the place. Staff were on top of things the whole time we were there. Highly recommend this downtown restaurant.
