The best-received new restaurant of the year isn’t resting on its good reviews.
La Plancha del Mar, stuck back in a hallway at the Marketplace shopping center continues to give diners a reason to find them. Great drinks, tasty entrees and reasonable prices have been the draws for the first year.
Now, La Plancha is adding ‘surf or turf’ options. Every Saturday night, starting at 5 p.m., the restaurant is offering Prime Rib and a raw bar, including oysters, steamed mussels from Prince Edward island, and shrimp cocktail.
This is a big step for these guys, to do this on little St. John with its legendary supply chain challenges. But the owners, Jason Howard, Jonathan Fritz, and Mike Prout have shown they know what they’re doing.
