    My recent visit to Plonk in Bozeman left me deeply dissatisfied with the restaurant's service and overall experience. As a new resident in town with a four-month-old baby, I was looking forward to enjoying the local dining scene. However, my encounters with Plonk on two consecutive days were completely different. The first day, during the Music on Main event, I was delighted by the excellent service. However, my optimism quickly faded on the second day when I attempted to order takeout for dinner. Unfortunately, my attempts to reach the restaurant by phone were futile, and the lack of online ordering for takeout made the situation even more frustrating. Undeterred, my family and I, including my four-month-old baby, made our way to Plonk to place our takeout order in person. To my surprise, we were met with an unwelcoming attitude from the blonde waitress in the pink dress, adorned with an excessive amount of turquoise jewelry. She informed us that ordering drinks was a prerequisite for placing a takeout order. While we were willing to order drinks as we waited, her demeanor conveyed clear displeasure, making us feel unwelcome and uncomfortable. Having worked in the service industry for a decade, I understand the challenges that can arise during busy times. However, a basic tenet of good service is to make guests feel valued and at ease. Unfortunately, the waitress seemed to struggle with this fundamental principle. When she finally returned to take our order, I gave her our order verbally, assuming she would jot it down. (Which she didn’t) Regrettably, upon reaching home, we discovered that our order had been mishandled. After a day of moving and exhaustion, having to endure a $200 incorrect order was disheartening. It is my hope that such subpar service and disrespect are not condoned by Plonk's management. Paying a considerable sum for both a rude waitress and incorrect food is simply unacceptable. To the blonde waitress in question, I trust that you can reflect on this experience and improve your approach to treating guests with the respect and courtesy they deserve. Everyone has off days, but it is imperative that such negativity does not impact the dining experience of your patrons. In conclusion, I sincerely hope that Plonk takes steps to rectify these issues, ensuring that future patrons do not encounter the same level of disappointment and frustration that my family and I endured.

    5 stars because of my main dish and the service. 4.5 stars for the appetizer and cocktail. The meal itself was delightful. I asked for my steak to be medium rare and it actually was! The warm olive appetizer was just ok. The pickled vegetables were overly salty, but otherwise ok. The cocktail (Mexican sweater) was a bit too sweet for my taste. The service was on point and my server had wonderful wine recommendations. Will be back!

    I loved Plonk! Delicious food and drinks. The back patio was so nice to sit on in the cool evening. The server was great and offered good recommendations.

    In my 14th year living in Bozeman after moving here from Atlanta in 2009, PLONK continues to set a very unique bar: It's simultaneously the most metropolitan restaurant and night spot in Bozeman yet it's not the least bit pretentious. Presumably this is a result of great leadership setting the tone for his/her staff, and tonight that came in the form of the warm and engaging Restaurant Manager, Sam Krutsch. For dinner, server Olivia was lovely and tentative while I enjoyed the (flipping amazing) evening special - seared Red Snapper followed by the (incredible) Dark Chocolate Cheesecake for dessert. - Are you a wine connoisseur? PLONK is your new personal Mecca. Want to gaze at hot people of all shapes and varieties? Get to PLONK (but be on your best behavior for once). You'll enjoy a meal well beyond what you thought might be reasonable to expect from a Bozeman dining experience, and then you'll have a vague recollection of that Baker cat who was effusive in his Google review's praise for what has become your new favorite restaurant. #CHEERS

    I have been coming to this wonderful place for many years. They have been around long before Bozeman became the "it" place. Drinks are incredible, service is always stellar. I appreciate that the owners decided to retain much of the old west style high ceilings and brick, but modernized it in such a chic way. You can't go wrong here.

    We came from Billings last November for a concert. Was not expecting anything to be open besides fast food. We drove past a gentleman walking along the sidewalk & I asked him what would be open this late and surprisingly we were next door to the Plonk! How convenient we thought but we were NOT expecting what we actually experienced. My husband & I were the only patrons. The inside was dim & quiet...it was perfect. I don't remember the special that we had but I do know that steak was involved. It was the best steak I've ever had...that WE ever had. We tipped the chef $200 & to our shock & amazement, he was barely in his early 20's! He without a doubt has a special gift and we were so lucky to have been served his delicious meals. The desert was a dish that he had made up and that was a strange but amazing dish as well. I would come to Bozeman just to come up for a dinner cooked by the amazing chef. The bartenders were amazing too. Very professional & smooth bunch. Loved every second of it.

    This is THE upscale place for a very cool upscale wine bar experience. The wine list and wine cellar are spectacular! The bar is elegant Cowboy ambiance with nice beer options. Food all looked great but we only had the Ploughman meat and cheese board. It was a few bites of 3 cheese options and 3 meat tasty morsels. A but small for two, but honestly just the right size for a pre dinner or late night snack. Outside patio was very nice. Jadyn, our server, was attentive and friendly! Definitely wi be back ! VictorB

    Plonk Wine in Bozeman, Montana was the perfect moody-lit atmosphere to photograph recent engagement portraits of my photography clients. We chose Plonk, their favorite wine bar, as the setting where we could showcase the warmth of their relationship and the love of dressing up for a night out on the town. The staff were gracious and delivered the ultimate hospitality. With a glass of wine in hand, they let us hangout and explore the venue before their busy hours began. It made a big impact on my clients and we had a lovely time. At the end, we didn’t want to leave. There was so much to see and explore there both indoors and outdoors. Many thanks to the team at Plonk Bozeman for helping me create a special experience our mutual clients! I can’t wait to go back for their delicious G.F.C cocktail!

    We booked the private dining room for our company party and I cannot say enough great things about our experience! The food was delicious, the service was great and they were so accommodating! Definitely the best dining experience we’ve had as a group!

    If you visit Bozeman a trip to Plonk is a must! I lived here years ago and when I knew I’d be passing through Bozeman my one requirement was to stop and eat here. They did not disappoint and my taste buds are so happy right now. Thank you! Thank you for having the same quality of service, good food and clean atmosphere I experienced 13 years ago today. The chicken and gnocchi with Brussel Sprouts, I believe it was called the airline chicken, was so delicious. It paired well with the Pink Panther cocktail. My business partner enjoyed the Salmon with broccoli florets and beets and it was equally amazing. Will return again the next time I visit! Staff was attentive, professional and swift. Thank you!

    We came here two nights in a row for after dinner drinks. The wine and cocktail lists are outstanding, as was the service. The first night we were there, they were so busy....I've never seen a server hustle that hard with a smile on her face the whole time. I had the gin and juice followed by the coconut Rickie, and both were amazing. I can't recall what drinks my fiance had, but he enjoyed them too. Night #2 we came back for wine, of which our selections were also very good. I can't speak for the food, but absolutely recommend the beverages. The space is alsoassice and very cool.

    Came here on my first day in Bozeman and loved the vibe. I sat at the bar, the bartender was great - made me a GREAT Perfect Manhattan. Everyone is super friendly. I wish I had the time to come back for a glass of their barolo and also to check out the cheeseboard. Not giving it 5-stars because the flatbread (which was my only experience with food) was underwhelming. However, were I to have more time in Bozeman, this would be one of my go-to's.

    3-5 Happy hour. GFC, Mexican sweater $2 off regular price. Good cocktails. But you should order the Hurricanes that are not on the menu. The bar tenders make those really well! The size of the drink has reduced and the glass has changed since when I had them last (10 years back). But the recipe is still great! They use 151° Bacardi.

    A fun little wine bar right on Main Street! I love popping in for a glass of wine or a delicious bite to eat.
