Plouf is a good restaurant in terms of food and service. Nothing mind-blowing, but a solid meal. However, I was there last week and had utterly obnoxious service. Our water glasses were removed while we were still drinking at the end of the meal. Not only were they removed prematurely, but the waiter stuck his fingers into the glasses. Our party was howling at how utterly rude it was. Then my dinner napkin was pulled out from under my arm. This is unacceptable after we had had a 3-course meal and had not in any way overstayed our welcome. I called the restaurant and gave them the opportunity to address this rude behavior, and they did not even have the curtesy to call me back. I will make it clear to my many friends in the Bay Area to scratch this restaurant off their list of places to go.
