Great service every time. Excellent and very friendly server at the bar gives my daughter great kitty cocktails with extra cherries. Food always comes fast and great. Been here twice and plan to come many more times!

It was my night to choose a place and I chose Plane View. Great choice in my opinion as the pizza was rather good as well as beer choices. Coworker got the Loaded Fries and we had to help him finish it. Service was excellent and the atmosphere was as well. I look forward to another visit!

This is a very casual place but not dive-bar casual. It's a very comfortable atmosphere, with no glitz or glamour - which face it, only adds to the cost of food and drinks. The lighting is actually perfect, not real bright, but not so dim that you can't read the menu...not to mention the menu is printed in a typeface that doesn't require a magnifying glass. The music can be heard so you know what's playing, but low volume so you can speak in normal tones to those at your table. The service was great. We came in as a group of eight and he was kind enough to put two 4-tops together for us. Our server seemed very nervous and shy at first. New? Never had a large group before? Unknown, but as the night went on, he became more relaxed and social. Our orders were all correct and he was attentive without hovering, asking about refills regularly. The food is delicious. We had three Reubens ordered, as well as a Rachel, a BYO Burger, Pulled Pork Melt, a Chicken Cordon Bleu, and I had the Shrimp Basket. Everyone just loved everything. There wasn't a disappointed taste bud or tummy in the group. I found the shrimp to be deliciously crunchy yet still very moist on the inside with great flavor. The fries have a coating on them that doesn't change the flavor, but makes them crispier on the outside. Fabulous. And their coleslaw is real tasty with minimal celery seed (you know it's there, but it's not over done like a lot of places). And prices are MORE than reasonable. I'm not a fish eater, but a few in the group said they'd be back to give the Friday Fish Fry a try.

Stopped in here while in town for just a quick overnight work trip. The service was excellent and the food/drink I got met my expectations perfectly. I'd definitely come back on a future visit.

Best waitress ever. She is always pleasant and courteous. Never in a bad mood. Runs all the bar and food alone even with a full bar. She should own this bar

Had a fantastic beer battered cod fish fry and shrimp dinner. Service was friendly and fast. After wandering the area for a couple of years, this was a great find. Only suggestion for owners would be to install a bit of sound absorbing materials to the ceiling--patrons talking echoed, overtaking the great music.
