Plank Provisions - Sea foam margarita and a classic old fashioned made by our mixologist whitey !!! Always a fantastic experience in this place!!! - Seafood Near Me - Austin, Texas

The service is probably the worse I have ever had. Orders were put incorrectly, not once but twice and it wasn't too busy. We had to wait for water refills. I was about to get up myself and get the water pitcher. We got the Wood Grill Seafood Tower and it was bland and over cooked. The chowder was good but for $10 it should be more than just an 8 oz cup that wasn't even full. We also ordered two drinks and got charge for three. I would definitely NOT recommend this place. read more

Lobster was dry. Oysters were the smallest I've ever had. Food was basic. The Brussels sprouts were the best part of my $450.00 meal. Service was a decent and the place was full of people willing to throw away money. It was a good time. The food did not meet the environment. read more

Had the absolute pleasure to get to dine here during the soft open on Saturday, March 27. I do not have enough vocabulary to describe the outstanding service and delicious food. From the moment we arrived and were welcomed in, everything was a delight. The drinks - amazing - my personal favorite is the Island Hopper - a unique twist combining gin, IPA, and pineapple for the perfect refresher. The yellowtail sashimi was perfection. We enjoyed pickled shrimp, calamari, bbq okra (so delicious!), and brussels sprouts to start the meal. The youngest and pickiest member of our party was not disappointed with his bento box style kid's meal, complete with fresh fruit and gummy snacks. Our mains were incredible. Plank boasts its wood-fired components, but they really shine through in the delicious salmon and coal fired beets. The scallop dish took the cake with beautiful golden caviar and tasty pasta and even those in our party who ordered a simple burger or soft-shelf crab sandwich were highly satisfied. For me, the sleeper that stole the show was the Thai Clam Chowder. DO NOT MISS THIS! I savored every bite. It's a wonderful combination of flavors with the perfect amount of spice. We ended our meal with the chocolate terrine - decadent and perfectly paired with the peanut butter ice cream. I cannot wait to go back. The service provided by Ken and the rest of the team was absolutely exceptional. I was shocked this was their first evening as they appeared to function like a cohesive and well-oiled machine. Kudos, Plank! read more

First time to Austin in 20 years. We were supposed to have dinner elsewhere but the staff accommodated our party of 6 in the private dining area, nice! The restaurant was cold on this rainy November evening... but worth it. I loved the salmon crudo... had to order a second even though our entrees were due out any moment. The Brussels were delish, tartare fantastic. I'm allergic to shrimp, apparently, so I steered clear of some seafood options but the curry basmati rice with crab, yum. Benadryl on hand, just in case! :) What can I say, I don't visit Austin often but the next time I do, I'll be back here! read more

Delicious food Great service The thai clam chowder is A1. The brussel sprouts were bomb. The drinks were tasty, I had to order more. But the dessert sealed the deal. Looking forward to coming back! read more

One of my favourite places in Austin! Food is always fresh and delicious! Especially recommend the desert chocolate terrine, it's awesome! Service is great and very helpful! Especially I want to thank our server Jayden, host Victoria and manager Gabriella and all the command! You've made such great atmosphere, can't wait the time to visit you again! read more

Food here is super delicious. Their menu offerings aren't extremely extensive, but there is something for everyone and the combinations of ingredients and flavors are really innovative. I had a Thai Clam Chowder and Sea Scallops with Squid Ink Pasta. It happened to be Oyster Monday when we came, so oysters were half off (score). Oysters were super fresh and come with all the proper fixin's - hot sauce, mignonette, and lemon slices. I also love their dedication to sustainability! All their seafood sources are listed on the menu. Service left a little bit to be desired as our server forgot about us a few times - forgot to rang in our entree, and left us hanging when requested napkins and extra lemons on separate occasions. They only opened a few months ago so I think they're estill figuring things out but I would love to return! read more

Wish i could give it negative stars. Worst blandest seafood ive ever had. Bartenders dont even bartend they just pour pre batched drinks. Way too expensive for less then mediocre food. read more

Hip and modern vibe. Great food. The soft crab sandwich is a must! So crunchy and tasty. Their side fries are seasoned well too. The oyster gratin was good but quite small in size. The calamari is very nicely done as well. It comes with salsa and mayo sauce and some onions and greens as toppings. It was very crispy and juicy. Generally speaking, their portions lean on the smaller side considering the usual portion in Texas, but the quality of the food is great! The patio where we set at was also nice. I would come back again. read more

Absolutely Amazing experience, food and service! I have severe (anaphylactic type) allergies and rarely get to eat out. I was told that Plank was a scratch kitchen and would gladly accommodate my limitations. Wow is that an understatement! Sara, my server, was understanding, kind and delightful. She really listened and listed my allergies and made sure that everything else about our time was great too. She was attentive without being overboard and super responsive. Sara was fantastic! Austin the GM, came out personally and clarified what I could and couldn't eat. He spoke to the chef and checked their homemade recipes. He then made recommendations. What was presented was absolutely phenomenal, great tasting and a culinary delight! It was probably the best meal I have had in years. By the second bite I was almost in tears! What an exceptional experience all around! Most places give those of us with allergies dry, bland food because that is what is "easy" to do to accommodate our limitations. Not Plank! They went above and beyond to make sure what I ate was superb! Austin, the GM shared that his desire is to help accommodate those us us with allergies so that we too can have an excellent meal and experience! What a refreshing attitude! We will be back! read more

Food, drinks, service and ambiance. Been there twice and I would go there next time I visit Austin

Delish! Would recommend to others. The food is always great, nice wait staff and great ambiance.

Ok, so I will mention the good and bad. Good : service was very good. The mussels we ordered were excellent , plenty of bread to mop up the spectacular sauce. The grilled shishito peppers were on point as well. The Sommelier also came out and helped us pick a nice wine, and let us try a couple. The wine she picked went perfect with the mussels. The bad : softshell crab sandwich. Breading is not good, and has cheese on it - which is odd. I wish I would not have ordered it. The grilled cesear came out and did not have dressing which was also odd. We also sat outside and they misters, although nice, were blowing too much water on our table. They also had a major issue with flies. They were all over the place, and on food. Not an enjoybleewl by any means. I may go back, but will never sit outside here again. read more

Oysters are super fresh and fantastic! My husband and I love oysters and they're hard to come by here in Austin. The calamari is excellent also. The service is super friendly and cocktails are delicious! read more

The outdoor seating and staff are terrific. However, the food is a bit pricey for the quality. We had the Crudo (excellent), Fish tacos (pretty good), Thai Clam Chowder (highly recommend), the shrimp appetizer (minuscule) , and the Blue salad (good but small). Overall good food, just too expensive for the portions. read more

Came to check out this new spot at the domain after watching a movie. Atmosphere is nice but that's about it. Me and my girlfriend both ordered the same food item which was the red snapper. Unfortunately we were unimpressed with the food. As soon as we got the dishes, both our plates were off. They were both inconsistent with the meal portion, and for $40 a plate you would think they would both show up as the same. For a chef not to notice this issue before sending out the dishes isn't professional. The snapper was also over cooked not flaky as it should be with white fish. But overall we won't be visiting this spot in the near future. read more

Plank Provisions - Our red snapper food dishes. As you can see the plates were inconsistent. For $40 a plate, you would think both dishes would be the same. - Seafood Near Me - Austin, Texas

This place is overpriced. The portion size to the price is greatly gapped. The hamachi were thin and very few in pieces and it was $18! That's more expensive than a upscale Japanese restaurant. The softshell crab sandwich was underwhelming. It was not very flavorful, size was small, and they just used what looked like Kraft Single cheese. Overall, underwhelming, overpriced. Will not go again. !!NOTE!! The staff (servers, hostess, wait staff) all did not wear masks. read more

I'm traveling so was shocked to hear you've only been open a few weeks. It was so good I came 2 days in a row. Day 1: speed boat cocktail is light, refreshing, not sweet and perfect. For lunch I ate the ahi tuna tartar. It was perfect with potato chips. Who knew! Totally worth getting. Day 2: got the speed boat again because why mess with a good thing? For dinner I splurged on the king crab legs and I'm so glad I did. Pic attached with one missing because I got excited. The work is done for you and the herbs were perfection. read more

The Food and dessert was amazing. The dirty grits made this creole girl small. The atmosphere is relaxing, the servers and manger were friendly and accommodating to our request. They only have 3 desserts but they were each unique and over the top delicious. Don't place this pale up. I can't wait until they expand to our area read more

So yummy! I went here for the first time and every dish we ordered was so tasty! I have to stay away from shellfish but there were plenty of options that I could have. You must have one of the desserts too, they are so good! read more

The food was wonderful and came out fast. Service was a little slow but they were busy so that's to be expected.

The food was sooooooo good. Truly enjoyed the salmon dish, ceviche, oysters and flounder dish. The kid's entree was also really good, comes with yogurt, a fruit, fruit snacks, and fries--my toddler was in heaven and ate every bit of it. Service was impeccable and atmosphere is divine. Can't wait to dine here again when we are back in the area. read more

First visit for a couple of celebrations. Plank's food is good, but prices are higher than they appear once you factor in some small portions. (Example: $14 for a calimari appetizer that had barely a dozen *very* small pieces served on a small salad plate that also held two dipping sauce cups. Maybe they ran out, but we felt cheated. The Brussels sprouts were more generous, and really delicious.) The entrees were good (our party tried 4 different ones, and wanted the Redfish, but they were out), but neither the flavor nor prep was quite as good as our usual seafood celebration place, Fish City in Georgetown. Plank touts their seafood sourcing, but this just means means all their fish (except the tuna) is farmed rather than wild-caught. At these prices, I'd expect real wild Alaskan salmon rather than Plank's farmed Atlantic salmon. Service: Surprisingly poor, and really, unacceptable at this level. Very long waits through the whole meal with no explanation, and completely ignored water/tea glasses that not only got to empty but stayed there until we finally flagged down a waiter. We'd have ordered another bottle of wine if they'd bothered to show up and ask. Overall, we'd eat at Plank again, but we're not in a huge rush. Great atmosphere and ambiance, and good food, but the service needs help. read more

Very fresh seafood! I enjoyed the oyster variety - all of which were delicious. The mussels had a smoke flavor, very flavorful. You'll need to ask for dipping bread for the mussels as it doesn't automatically come with it. Yellowtail sashimi was light and delicate in flavor. Hostess and bar staff super friendly and attentive. I'll definitely be back to try more. read more

I have now been here twice and both times my expectations have been blown out of the water. No pun intended. Not only is the service great, but the food is beyond excellent. There is not one bad dish on this menu, trust me I would know. This place is an atmosphere that is not only welcoming, but also lively. You want to put this guy on your list! I promise you won't be disappointed. This is not a sponsored post I swear. read more

This was an amazing experience for seafood fanatics like me. Their seafood is sourced responsibly which I appreciate. Oysters couldn't be any fresher. So good!!! The Thai coconut clam chowder was such a hit with us. It literally had the flavors of Thai curry but it had the texture and everything you love of a clam chowder. The ceviche had a a perfect blend of citrus and spice. Our server was attentive and caught a dish before it served to us with our food restrictions. I love this place. We couldn't have found a better place to dine at and will definitely come back for more. read more

Was believing this was going to be something great, however my lofty expectations were quickly diminished. We had a decent spread...from calamari and oysters to salmon and even a cheeseburger. The kids salmon was bigger, better, and much cheaper than the adults. The smoked fish dip was not memorable and after you get through a handful of crackers, you are charged for more if requested. The staff was the only positive. If you are looking for a mediocre experience in the domain, this is your spot. read more

Delicious, great service would come back. No complaints. Thanks for serving good food

This is a very nice upscale restaurant that serves fresh seafood. Our waiter, Frank, was welcoming and nice. The decor is attractive and the background music was pleasing. Our food was delicious: oysters on the half shell, soft boiled eggs with caviar, and a fish taco. We were there for Happy Hour (3-6). Good selection of wine and cocktails. We have plans to return soon. read more

Me and my wife went the Saturday before Mother's Day. Over all the experience was... alright. Credit where credit is due- Plank's has a good atmosphere, welcoming staff and great food. But frankly, it's just unnecessarily expensive. Spent around $240 on drinks, oysters and a few tapas. Now they were good- very good in fact but honestly comparable with so many other restaurants. That's where it just didn't make sense. Now the Oysters are from the North East coast so expect sweet to slightly salty flavors somewhere in the small l to medium sizes which is just right for me. Plank's had a creative cocktail cause delivery system which was super handy. Again, my main issues were with the price; $4 an oyster is a little steep. However our server was excellent and it was an overall good experience. The thing is I don't plan on going back as I can get good food and drinks elsewhere for probably $100 less and they have their own parking. I hope Plank's does well but it's just not the premium experience that you pay for. It's Trulucks prices $$$$ but the atmosphere and accommodations aren't worth it read more

This place is definitely not a sweat and workout clothes place however if you don't care than go for it. Not cheap or budget friendly but that's because the quality of the food is good and so is the menu in general. The flavors and plating is beautiful I really like the Asian style twist on the dishes. Our server was great and he recommended a local gelato place that was awesome. The dishes aren't filling so there was room for dessert. The drinks were small but taste refreshing. Overall great experience for a some nicer dining with the girls. read more

First of all, the food was really good. My fiancé had the salmon and I had the redfish. The service, sucked. I'm sorry I don't know a different way to put it. Our waitress was very inattentive and barely checked on us. Food was great, service sucked. We will probably go back, but we will be careful. read more

The food and service here is so good. Always have an amazing time. Plus it's super cute!

Went here this weekend with one of my girlfriends and it was amazing! We had one of the seafood towers and it was soooo good! Service was great, the vibe was great, and drinks were amazing! Everything about it was awesome! We'll definitely be back!! read more

Plank Provisions - Grand Seafood Tower* - Seafood Near Me - Austin, Texas

Their lobster was absolutely not fresh at all. It had that smell when you keep these refrigerated for a really long time

I've been to Plank three times. The first was fine. Neither the service or the food were worthy of comment. Not exceptionally good, or bad. Just fine. The second time I went, the experience was fantastic. Our waiter possessed remarkable knowledge of the menu and the sources of the seafood. He enthusiastically offered suggestions when asked. Guided by his suggestions, we embarked on a delicious and exciting multi-course meal. He recommended that we course our dishes, and by that I mean that they bring out each dish as comes out of the kitchen, with the intent for it to be shared by the table. It is not divided into plates or portions. It's the same entree you would receive as if ordered by an individual person, plated in exactly the same way. This was good, because everything came out at the perfect temperature and texture. The not-so-good part I'll get to further on in the review. Highlights included PEI raw oysters and some of the bestrredfish I've ever eaten. The petite salmon tower, with three entrees was the perfect amount of food for four adults - with just enough room left over for crepes down the street. The third time I went was a terrible experience. We went at 4 p.m. on a Sunday afternoon. We were seated directly under a speaker. The music was so loud I couldn't hear anything that the waitress said, so my husband had to stand up get close enough to hear her and translate for the rest of the table. The music was not loud at either of my other two experiences, and the second visit was on a Saturday evening, when I would expect loud music. But a Sunday afternoon? Conversation was impossible because it required yelling to hear what anyone was saying at the table. My teenage son put on his noise-canceling headphones because the music was giving him a headache. We asked the waitress if she could turn down the music. She came back and asked if it was better. We told her it wasn't. I wish we'd asked or been offered to move to another table, or outside because at 4 p.m. on a Sunday, lots of tables were empty. We just endured. We did the coursed meal again, and like my first visit, the food was fine. Not bad, not great. Acceptable. Nothing to rave about. The scallops were too chewy. The fingerling potatoes were bland and dry. I thought the oysters were fine, but my dining companions said they smelled fishy, so ended up eating nine out of a dozen. No complaints from me, though. Not as good as my previous experience, but as good as you can expect for a land-locked city. By the time we were done with the meal, our party of six was exhausted from the musical assault and cancelled further plans because we were all just done for the night. I left apologizing to the rest of the party saying, "I promise it was really great the last time I was here!" My biggest complaint about Plank, overall, is the logistics of their coursing. They bring the plates of food, with the intent to share, but with no serving utensils. This is not finger food. You are expected to use the same utensils you've been eating with to serve yourself from the communal dish. You are brought, for example, a filet of fish you'll have to cut it into portions, if you intend to share, with the same utensils that have been in your mouth. If you're going to course the menu, you'd better be comfortable enough with your dining companions to share saliva. I asked the waitress if she could bring us some extra utensils for serving. I don't know if she didn't hear me or if she was confused, but she gave me a bewildered expression and didn't bring any serving utensils. The music was as loud as a nightclub, so if I couldn't hear her she probably couldn't hear me either. My recommendation would be to check the sound level before you order to make sure it meets your comfort level. As far as the quality of food, I don't know of anywhere in Austin that I'd say is consistently better thank Plank, other than Perla's. If you're looking for seafood and don't want to drive to South Congress, I wouldn't discourage you from going. I'd say there's a 33% chance you'll have a great experience, but I also wouldn't be surprised if your experience was less than ideal. If you're looking for a low-risk, consistently good dining experience, like for out-of-town guests or an important date, I can't recommend Plank. I will go again. My second visit was so good, it makes me want to give them another shot. Austin doesn't have a lot of dedicated Seafood restaurants, so I'm rooting for their success. I won't however, be sharing anything other than one of the towers. I'll update my review after my next visit. read more
