Braised Pork Shank with Roasted Chili Lime Pineapple, Spicy Sweet Potato Wedges, Toasted Pepitas, and Crispy Shallots. New on the menu at Plonk! Try it with the new Albariño we're serving by the glass. Albariño is a Spanish white wine with crisp acidity that stands up to the braised pork, and citrus notes that mirror the lime and pineapple in this flavorful new dish!

A little behind-the-scenes moment

This bottle might not look flashy, but it’s doing a lot of heavy lifting in the kitchen.

Sherry vinegar from Jerez — nutty, slightly sweet, and perfect for finishing dishes with a little extra depth.

Sometimes it’s the smallest ingredient that makes the biggest difference.

Thanks to everyone who attended Thursday's Neighborhood Wine Tasting Series at Plonk! We learned about three wines the service staff is excited about, the chef paired new dishes with their selections, and a good time was had by all! Stay tuned for details on the next Neighborhood Wine Tasting!

Neighborhood Wine Series:Taste with us Tomorrow at Plonk!

Join us at Plonk! from 6:00–7:00 PM on Thursday, April 2, for our Neighborhood Wine Series, a casual, complimentary tasting designed for discovery and good conversation.

This week, we’re pouring three bottles our team is especially excited about right now: a fresh, expressive white Rioja, a Champagne from a historic, family-run producer, and a bold, crowd-pleasing red!

Stop by, taste at your own pace, and chat with our team about what makes each of these wines worth sharing.

All featured bottles will be available at special pricing, so enjoy one with dinner and take another bottle or two home for later!

And, if you buy three bottles, get a FREE cheese and charcuterie package that you can take home for easy entertaining over Easter weekend!

No reservations needed—just come by and enjoy.

Something sweet for Sunday! New at Plonk!: the 2023 Chateau Laribotte Sauternes.

Golden, rich, and beautifully balanced ✨

This bottle showcases what makes this iconic Bordeaux style so special: grapes touched by noble rot create luscious notes of honey, apricot, and citrus, lifted by fresh acidity.

Sweet, but never heavy -- it's a great way to end a meal at Plonk!, especially with our featured blue cheese!

03/29/2026

Spring is here -- time to raise a glass!

03/28/2026

Weekend specials at Plonk! Bistro! Gulf Shrimp in Tomato Saffron Broth and Texas Wagyu Flank Steak with Chimichurri Rojo and Confit Baby Potatoes. Get them while you can! !

Plonk! was broken into again! Video re-enactment included.

03/27/2026

Well… this is awkward.

We were broken into. Again.
Yes. Again again. Within two weeks. Bold.

At this point, we do feel obligated to share some developing leads:

The patio possums.
You may remember them—the ones wildlife rescue safely relocated after they kept trying to come into the restaurant like they had a reservation.

They were… persistent.
They were… coordinated.
They absolutely tried multiple times to get inside.

We’re not accusing anyone. We’re just saying the timing is… interesting.

Please enjoy our video reenactment of what may have happened.

All jokes aside—thank you for the support these past couple weeks. It really does mean a lot to us.

We’re still here. Doors still open (mostly).
And we promise to keep the wine inside… one way or another.

New at Plonk! Fior d’Arancia Blue (Blu al Fior d’Arancio) is a very distinctive Italian blue: creamy, aromatic, and sweet-leaning because it’s aged with Fior d’Arancio Passito wine and topped with candied orange peel.

We're serving it with orange fennel mostarda, hazelnut crumble, orange-infused apricots, fennel pollen, and house-made olive oil crackers.

Ask your server for pairing recommendations -- they've been studying!

Blind Tasting again with Chef! She's sharing with the staff what she's learned so far preparing for the Court of Master Sommeliers Certified Exam.

Have you ever tried blind tasting wine?

03/12/2026

A little extra studying happening around here lately.

Our chef is preparing for the Court of Master Sommeliers Certified Sommelier exam next week, and along the way she’s been leading some staff tasting sessions to share what she’s learning.

So far we've been tasting and talking about things like acid, sweetness and dryness, tannin, aroma, intensity, and finish — the building blocks of how wine is evaluated.

It’s been a fun way for the whole team to learn together (and taste a little wine along the way).

Wish her luck 🍷

If you see her this week, ask what she's been tasting lately.

This weekend went a little off the beaten path.

After a smashed window early Saturday morning, we're especially grateful to still be here pouring wine.

Join us Tuesday (March 10) from 5–7 pm for our Off the Beaten Path Wine Tasting — featuring three lesser-known varietals that don't take the usual route. Special bottle pricing all night.

If you've been meaning to come in to Plonk!, Tuesday would be a great night to do it! Tag a friend you’d bring.
