    Can't go wrong with The Plow. If you get something else, at least have a side of the lemon ricotta pancakes!

    Plow Bfast is great...the crispy potatoes and the pancakes and excellent. Too bad about the tight & cramped quarters and the ridiculous wait at prime time.

    "Plow" on the menu is a good choice. If you don't like meat they can substitute it with avocado.

    The almond flour pancakes are so light and fluffy, which contrast nicely with the extra crispy potatoes.

    Decent breakfast/brunch fare not necessarily deserving of the hype and extremely long waits. It's high time reservations were brought back in fashion.

    Pancakes were amazing. Service was not very attentive and actively cleared the table immediately after we finished eating. Wanted another tea but the waiter refused and said they needed the table.

    While the potatoes steal the show on most reviews. I recommend the simpler things. Right now I'm the yogurt+homemade granola kick
