The highs and lows of Plum

January 28, 2012 By: Mai Truong Category: American, California - The Bay Area, Won't go out of my way to revisit


There seems to be a new trend in the East Bay restaurant business: it has to be hidden and/or without a sign. First it was embarrassing walking up and down the street to find Commis, and now the same thing happens with Plum. Is this some kind of scavenger hunt joke?

Plum‘s menu is short and sweet like its name. However, the same thing can’t be said about the majority of its dishes, which either tip a bit over to the salty side (pate ciccioli and bacon) or stay way back in plaindom (crispy pig ears and trout). There are bright notes, too. The turnip soup with yuzu kosho, pear and cilantro is a light, heart-warming start. The short ribs with peanuts and sweet potato has a deep Asian flavor. The caramelized brioche with coffee ice cream makes a comforting finish.

Ironically, the yummy dishes didn’t have good pictures. But here’s a small album to get a taste of Plum.

  3. In the great design of things you get a B+ for effort and hard work. Where exactly you confused everybody was on all the facts. You know, it is said, the devil is in the details… And it could not be much more true right here. Having said that, permit me tell you what exactly did work. The writing is actually incredibly convincing which is probably why I am taking the effort to opine. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Second, despite the fact that I can see the leaps in reason you come up with, I am definitely not certain of exactly how you appear to unite the details which in turn help to make the actual conclusion. For now I shall yield to your issue but hope in the future you link your dots better.
