We arrived a few minutes early for our 7 PM reservation, and were seated immediately at our preferred table. Our server, John, took excellent care of us during our visit. My wife selected the Sea Bass, I chose the grilled skirt steak with chimichuri sauce -- both were delicious. John was great at helping me avoid items with milk products in them -- I am very allergic to milk products. We both enjoyed watching the stream of humanity along upper Pier Ave while we ate. Another great visit at Hook & Plow.

As usual, excellent food and services. Had the chowder (delicious), burrata peach salad (so good) and pork chop (outstanding). Food is consistently well prepared and excellent. Only wish they would add more menu items to showcase chef’s creativity.
