Reviews for Dog & The Bank in Plainwell, MI
Great meals with 2 drawbacks, which prevented me from making this a 5 star rating. My wife and I had the Sliced Fillet Mignon... and The Red Grouper. Both most expensive items at $36 each. Both were very good. The drawbacks? First was excessive noise frombanging of pots and plates behind the bar made it very difficult to hold a conversation. The second was dessert we decided tohave because dinner was sooo good. I love bread pudding so tried it. It?s always served hot like it?s fresh from the oven. Thiswas was warm with a really cold core. Both of these items gave our party the distinctive impression that the staff really wantedto leave early this Saturday night. Over all a positive experience and we will return. However if they want to obtain my full 5stars you will need address these last 2 items. Read more
AWESOME FOOD! This was my first time and we came for brunch and it was amazing. We tried 5 different meals and all of them were... soooo good. We tried the Dutch baby pancake, Crab Benedict, California Omelet, Little Jerry's sandwich and fingerling potatoesand were not disappointed. I highly recommend if you enjoy great food. Read more
One of the best dining events in a while. Atmosphere is upbeat and modern. The service was off the charts, our server could not... have been more friendly or more attentive. And the food was outstanding. I had the red grouper and my wife had the Ora kingsalmon. The grouper was one of the best fish dishes I have ever had and my wife's salmon was similarly wonderful. Our friend'sfood was excellent as well and they were delighted with Dog and the Bank. We WILL be back for sure! Read more
Went here for my birthday and we were not disappointed. Everything about this place is perfect. The atmosphere is so lively and... inviting. Yes, it?s louder than many restaurants in the area, but the buzz of the kitchen, bar, and other patrons makes it feellike you?re in a vibrant city. If you go in knowing that it will be more lively, I think you?ll embrace and enjoy theatmosphere. The owners, chefs, and waitstaff have worked together to curate this experience. The food and service areimpeccable. We spoke with the owner and staff for quite a while after our delicious meal. They all have very interestingbackgrounds in the service industry, which culminates in the fantastic experience that is the Dog and the Bank. I can?t wait tobring friends and visitors here! Read more
Today the wife and I decided to try dog in the bank, they had just opened for the day and the server was extremely nice to deal... with. As an appetizer we got loaded French fries with blue cheese. This sounds terrible but trust me if you get it you won?t belet down. I ordered the Delmonico ribeye and the flavor was amazing. Perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned and easily top 2steaks I have had in my life. The wife ordered salmon and again had an amazing crust, GREAT flavor and cooked to actualperfection. For the little town of Plainwell this place is hands down the best food in town. Read more
Our current favorite in the area. The seasonal dinner, happy hour, and brunch menus are carefully curated and executed with... perfect care. Their bar is well supplied and their cocktails are great value. The renovated space is ample and welcoming,facilites clean and the staff and chefs very friendly and will work with you and your party for dietary or special needs. Certainly recommend if you are searching a unique flare of flavors to traditional or original dishes. Also, if you can?t makeit to Plainwell check out their Mattawan location. Read more
Good food? nice design but once again just like Bird dog the owner doesn?t get it that loud hard rock is not fitting for the... design and 50 dollar meals? he arrives and cranks music. They are confused what they want to be? if that is the music they wantto play at that volume then serve pub food? don?t try to be something high end and crank loud hard rock. Read more
We drove 40 minutes to try Dog & The Bank, and it was well worth it. We tried the oysters and two different steaks, and... everything was absolutely wonderful. The filet I had was well seasoned and juicier than other filets from dedicated steakhouses.The restaurant also makes use of local suppliers which is very nice. The interior of the restaurant is well designed andattractive, but the other reviews mentioning the noise level are unfortunately accurate. It did not significantly detract fromthe meal but someone with hearing difficulties may struggle to hold a conversation. Read more
