The Three Most Important Words
for Bedminster’s Pluckemin Inn:
New, New and New.
So what do you do when you’ve been called the “best restaurant in New
Jersey,” “one of the 50 most amazing wine experiences in America,” and
“
one of the 75 best wine experiences in the world?” Naturally, you keep
trying to improve. That’s what’s happening at Pluckemin Inn, the gourmet
destination in Bedminster that’s rolling out a complete menu of new offer-
ings for the Fall season, including an actual new menu featuring new items
at surprisingly lower prices, two new websites, and a host of exciting
events and experiences at the restaurant.
New Menu
This Fall, the Pluckemin Inn dinner menu takes a turn for the decidedly dif-
ferent. Chef Andrew Lattanzio has completed a menu overhaul that con-
tinues to feature fresh and mostly local seasonal ingredients, and has a
more rustic and hearty character. From appetizers to mid courses through
entrees, the dinner menu has been streamlined to offer more depth, more
flavor and more variety, but for less cost on average than ever before.
The restaurant’s management team is extremely thrilled about all the
awards and accolades, but continues to honor founder Carl LaGrassa’s mis-
sion to have a restaurant that offers an exceptional food and wine experi-
ence to anyone who might be interested. “While we enjoy our success and
our position as a top culinary destination, we’re most interested in provid-
ing an approachable experience for our guests,” said Director of Opera-
tions Tal Itzhaki. Early reports are very good: guests have flooded the
restaurant with comment cards and emails raving about the new dishes.
New Sites
While it’s never good form to spoil surprises, Pluckemin Inn has two of
them for its guests in the form of new websites. The Pluckemin Inn Wine
Shop, the restaurant’s online wine store, is being expanded and
redesigned: more wines, more categories and expanded descriptions are
just a few of the new features being planned.
And the restaurant will also have a new website to match its new
approachability ethos. The new Pluckemin Inn site will feature a simplified
interface, more interactivity, bigger and brighter food images, updates to
the menus, and much more. Look for both sites to launch by the new year.
New and Exciting Events
The restaurant is also planning a more robust calendar of intriguing food
and wine events, with well-known guest speakers and presenters to guide
every evening. Just in the Fall season, the restaurant is presenting several
themed dinner events (like a San Gennaro feast and an Oktoberfest paired
beer dinner,) and several paired wine dinners with top end producers like
Plumpjack, Cade and Clerico. A complete calendar of upcoming events is
available on the website.
If you’re looking to take advantage of a culinary treasure – and a Grand
Award winning restaurant for outstanding wine service - right in your back-
yard, visit Pluckemin Inn, which is located at 359 Route 206 South in Bed-
minster, or visit www.PluckeminInn.com.
