Plume Rockford

“Absolutely amazing from scratch dishes, aligning with the seasons produce. I wish I had taken a picture of the wild ramp bruschetta but it was gone in seconds! Incredibly rich and filling, especially with the red wine. My dish was called “gnudi” and featured more wild ramps (wild leek) and a cream base sauce.”

“We just finished our meal- it was delicious! We had the grilled romaine salad-rich and creamy dressing over the Smokey lettuce and sweet tangy pickled radish-yum! I had the papperdell stroganoff- large portion of tender meat, mushrooms, creamy sauce and lovely wide noodles! I nearly ate the whole huge portion because it was incredibly divine! My husband had the pumpernickel cavatelli- if you like a creamy deconstructed Reuben, this is your dish. Lovely setting, attentive friendly server-Kenzie! If you are in Rockford you must go! Also overheard people on both sides of us enjoying other dishes!”

“Pasta is cooked al dante and ricotta is smooth & creamy. Both their pasta & ricotta are housemade. Their beef tenderloin is very good and their marinara rivals their cream sauce. Their cellar is very nice. Only thing is the waitress forgot our complementary anniversary champagne and our reserved table was very small (like an end table). We tried to move, but husband couldn't get down the cellar steps. We just got flutes of champagne and managed to get used to the table. We'll be back to try other dishes.”

“Most delicious food, homemade pasta, the sauces were like nothing I’ve had before. Gourmet 5 Star!! The vegetables are locally sourced and taste like they were picked off the vine that morning. Crunchy plum salad was my favorite! The service was the best I’ve ever had. Danny was an excellent server. Very calm. Respectful. Right there whenever we needed anything. I will definitely be back.”

“Plume delivered an unforgettable dining experience, from the fantastic food to the top-tier service. Our server, Zach, was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and truly made our night special. Plus, the QR code coaster menu made ordering a breeze, and we appreciate their commitment to sustainability and that it allows them to continuously update their menu with local fresh flavors. We kicked things off with the Suppli and a special for the evening, the Duck Pierogi, both of which were amazing. A nice surprise? The complimentary Carne Salada, a delicious little bonus that allowed us to step outside our comfort zone. For our mains, we went with two standout pasta dishes. The Paccheri Pesto – A perfect blend of flavors and Pappardelle Stroganoff – Comfort food at its best, with perfectly tender brisket. And then came the grand finale—the Brown Butter Blueberry Tart, a special for the night. It is hard to stray from the perfect tiramisu, but we're so glad we did. Between the great food, thoughtful touches, and Zach’s stellar service, Plume completely knocked it out of the park. If you haven’t been yet, go—you won’t regret it. We're already looking forward to our next visit.”
