Plonk is essential to Oak Forest and has a great beer and wine selection. Meatbals, thai curry mussels and hangar steak all merit repeat visits. [Eater 38 Member]

Great date spot. Wonderful selection of wines, bit limited on the beers, but a nice variety. Creative dishes.

Claire takes excellent care of me and my friends every time. So knowledgeable, easy going and really listens to what you're wanting and makes spot-on recommendations.

Talk to Brian, and ask about the great craft beers on tap. Lamb chops were amazing, and the firecracker pizza has a habanero oil drizzled on it......yum

They don't have a sign but, the place is a great dive. Excellent pizza and if you would like a suggestion on wine- they are super helpful!

Although you wouldn't expect it from a wine bar, Plonk has one of the best bacon cheeseburgers we've ever tasted.

Excellent thin crust pizza. Oven is gas fired, not wood as other reviewer suggested.
