Le Plonc Wine Mountain View

I am only giving this restaurant 1 star for the service. We made a reservation through OpenTable and I even asked for a confirmation in person, to which I received a positive response. However, when we arrived at 10pm, a different lady told us it was impossible to have a table, even just for a drink. It was a Friday evening on a long weekend and there were still many other people enjoying food and drinks at that time in the restaurant. Despite the French style ambiance, the service itself was not up to par.

Good location to have a couple glasses of wine with friends. The wine selection is okay and definitely pricier than the happy hour specials at every other restaurant on Castro, but it was a good change of pace.

It was A FRIDAY long week end evening. Many other people were still there enjoying food and drinks at in this ace. French style place, without French style service.

The wine selection is good and the food was delicious yet small in portions given the price point but that isn’t the deterrent. Our service was absolutely abysmal. The waiter made wonderful recommendations but then everything went downhill. When we wanted to order a charcuterie plate, we had to do it twice after he forgot we had placed the order. After our water glasses sat empty, we had to ask for water multiple times before eventually another waitress filled them. We asked for more bread multiple times before we were brought more right after we received our bill. We asked for a take away box and after waiting ten minutes we decided to leave without our food. The waiter chased us down and apologized but at that point, the bad taste was already left in our mouths. There are other wine bars.

Wonderful wine bar with comfortable sofa like seating as well as lounge chairs, great appetizers such as burrata avocado toast and pate. Nice servers.
