What People Are Saying About Ditch Plains

The Scene – Simple and sleek, urban sensibilities sneak into this fish shack that balances between upscale and down-home. Windows onto the street provide most of the eye candy in the steel gray space. Wooden table and booths accommodate a casual array of neighborhood folk and the service exudes a surf-friendly vibe. – – The Food – The menu appeals to a broad spectrum, with breakfast and burgers sharing space with traditional shack fare. Seafood is the draw and starting with a platter of impeccable oysters or a bowl of the rich, bacon-heavy clam chowder takes you…

Great wine with an even better bartender!
by ValW at Citysearch
I was here on Saturday night with my boyfriend, and we were lucky enough to have Rob as our bartender. He is simply amazing. Our glasses were never empty and he was the most entertaining bartender I have ever met, and I go to a lot of bars. He somehow had the ability to keep every person at the bar entertained, and with a full glass in front of them at all times. He was making me, and the people around me laugh through out the night. I will definitly go back again on a Saturday night just to sit at his bar. Thanks Rob!
- Pros: The bartender, the mac and cheese hotdogs
- Cons: None that I could tell

GREAT menu
by leanna81 at Citysearch
I love the menu here. Great comfort food, especially the clam chowder and hash browns. Prices could use a slight bump down and this is not or should not be everyday food, but when I need quality grease and salt along with some drinks (no diners!), this is it.

An expensive disappointment
by abbiz at Citysearch
The best part of the meal was the service, which was friendly. Prices were more expensive than the listed $$. Entres were in the $25-$35 range. Wine was only served by the bottle, and since two in the party were drinking cocktails, I could not have a glass of wine unless i was going to drink the bottle myself, which is odd for a 'fine' restaurant not to serve someone a glass of wine with dinner. The food itself was disappointing. Three people shared two appetizers: the Seafood Tacos none of us liked. There were three on the plate and we each took one bite and put all three back on plate. The tuna tartar had an aftertaste or spice that none of us could place, and none of us liked. All three of us ordered the lobster roll, based on CitySearch's recommendation and at $28 it's quite an expensive sandwich which is ok if it's great, but on a scale of 1-10 we all gave it a 5, just average. No one in my party will be returning.
- Pros: service
- Cons: food. prices. no wines by the glass
