We’re in Plymouth for the weekend aboard Amazing Grace as she wraps up commissioning and some service work. Mrs. Horne’s golf buddy Jeanne lives in Plymouth, and she suggested that we try the Artisan Pig for lunch. So we did.
To begin with, the decor matches Mrs. Horne’s favorite colors perfectly!
Yep, pure black and white.
Our lunch service was outstanding, provided by Jillian.
She told me they do Rock, Paper, Scissors to see who got the first table of the day. We were it and Jillian won!
Celebrating The Piglet
As you may have guessed from the restaurant’s name, Pork, and all her lovely derivatives are featured throughout the menu.
We’re here with our wonderful daughter and her family. Our grandkids are 5 and 8, and we immediately went to the Piglet Menu for the kids.
My grandson ordered the grilled cheese.
And my granddaughter ordered the noodles and meatballs in a deconstructed style.
My daughter sampled some of Piglet’s food and said, “If the kid’s food is this good, I can’t wait to try the rest of the meal.”
Major Grazing
My son-in-law wants to be sure we have plenty of food, so he tends to over-order. I’m okay with that because I prefer to graze across several dishes. It’s also great when I review a restaurant because I can sample more of their cooking.
Everyone ordered the Grilled Peach Salad.
What a simply wonderful salad! The grilled peaches are wrapped in Prosciutto. Underneath these large pieces was an incredible salad of Arugula, corn, and goat cheese – a perfect balance of sweet and sour.
We also ordered the Wood-Fired Empanadas, which brought Tomatillo flavor to the party.
The Empanadas were clearly handmade and full of Mexican flavor. What set this dish off was the accouterments. The pickled red onions, Queso Fresca, along with both a tomato and a tomatillo-based salsa.
We found ourselves sharing everything, which was perfect because our main dishes both arrived at the same time. We shared a large (14”) Wood Fired Sausage & Ricotta pizza.
Artistically composed of Sweet Italian Sausage, Caramelized Onions, Sweet Peppers, and dolloped with Ricotta Pesto.
We accompanied our pizza with a side of Artisan Pig Dirty Fries.
Yet another work of culinary art. The fries were crispy (probably double-fried) and covered in mouthwatering “dirt” (Parmesan, Parsley, and Garlic).
How to Dock and Dine The Artisan Pig
There are two options for Dock and Dine. Safe Harbor Plymouth will accommodate lunch tie-ups if they have space available, and during the summer, they are pretty full.
My recommended approach would be to go on Dockwa and book a mooring with the town. They’ll text you back, and tell you the mooring number. It’s $67.50 for 24 hours, including unlimited launch service on Maverick (hail channel 9) for you and all your guests.
I’ve eaten lunch at dozens of spots in the area, and thus far, The Artisan Pig is our favorite!
