    Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon and it was pretty quiet. The patio was open with plenty of seats. Unfortunately the food menu was limited to two items. Ordered the side of fries which were pretty good... very good actually. Staff was friendly. I'm sure it's busy for after work crowds.

    A tiny little bar known for their fancy cocktails that has wisely decided to offer breakfast and lunch during workday hours when people shouldn't really be drinking. A limited menu and a bit hit or miss at times. Quite reasonably priced for the FiDi though. Blueberry Muffin: Felt like something out of a Seinfeld episode. The muffin top was pure heaven and the muffin bottom was kinda nasty. The top was so airy and had a great crust on the portions exposed to the oven. Only downside of the top was that not many blueberries rose in there. Meanwhile, the bottom had a lot of blueberries, but the dough was off. Like it was a tad under cooked. I wonder if that's because it had such a wide circumference. I only had a few nibbles before giving up. Thankfully the large muffin top was quite filling. Ciabatta Bread: I was skeptical at first. It looked like a lunch sandwich that happened to have cream cheese on it. Turned out I was being too bagel biased; it was delicious! First of all the cream cheese wasn't spread, it was in thick slices that were just as creamy as a spread but in a larger portion. The crispy bacon and ripe tomatoes were a very nice flavor and texture contrast. And the ciabatta roll itself was chewy and had a nice crunch, so it was bagel-like, except not as dense. Roast Beef Sandwich: Felt like there was too much lettuce on this and it wasn't even good lettuce. The roast beef was tasty enough; better than Subway quality but not as good as joint that specializes in it (e.g. Top Round). The bread was decent; don't think it needed to be toasted though. I enjoyed the creamy horseradish, but felt like this sandwich was missing cheese (bleu would have been perfect).

    Vegetarian options are often flavorful, but lack a decent protein. I'd love to see them be more thoughtful about that.

A charming little bistro inspired by the Marlowe cows, I'm assuming, managed to stun us with several memorable dishes. The warm deviled eggs were an excellent start. Savory yet delicate enough to not weigh us down right at the beginning of our meal. The horseradish aioli wasn't for me, but I can see its appeal for a certain audience. You give me a Calabrian chili sauce and it's guaranteed to make me happy and this shrimp with sweet corn was no exception. Again, light but a punchy flavor that was enjoyable. I could go on and on about the different dishes we tried but the real standout of the night was the pork tenderloin with chorizo and peaches. The sweetness from the peaches somehow managed to enhance the flavor of the chorizo. This dish gives you a bold, savory and sweet bite all together but still won't have you feeling super heavy. The portion size is perfect. Im hoping to return soon for another exquisite meal.

This time, we came on a weekday around 1:30 PM and waited about 30 minutes. Fair warning: expect a wait regardless! There are no online or app reservations--you'll need to show up in person and have the host add you to the waitlist. Based on our two visits, coming on a weekday and later in the day seems much more manageable. Both of us ordered The Plow with the house-made pork sausage, which comes with eggs, Plow potatoes, and lemon ricotta pancakes. Such a satisfying meal! The house-made pork sausage patties were juicy and packed with flavor. The Plow potatoes tasted fresh and were crispy, crunchy, and rustic. The lemon ricotta pancakes were a great way to finish the meal--after all the savory flavors from the eggs, potatoes, and sausage, the pancakes with maple syrup were the perfect sweet ending. We also both got the cold brew with oat milk. Strong and really good--exactly how we like our cold brew! Service: Great! Everyone was friendly and attentive, and they checked in on us frequently even though the restaurant was busy. Ambiance: Plow is a relatively small restaurant, but it still feels clean, spacious, and bright. There's both indoor and outdoor seating. The bathroom was also very clean, but just a heads-up that there's only one restroom for the entire restaurant, so you may have to wait. Overall, 5/5! We've enjoyed Plow both times we've visited. The wait can definitely be long, but the food and service make it worth it. Come hungry, plan for a wait, and get The Plow with the house-made pork sausage!
