I can hardly think of words to use that would match the experience my wife and I had at the Grey Plume. In short, it was perfect. From the hostess to the wait staff to Chef Chapman bringing out my wife's order everything was as it should have been and better than I expected. I could tell without doubt that the entire staff truly cares.
The food was excellent, that is all I'll say about that, not enough time to go on and on about it.
I work for a living and I was very pleased with the bill. I've had lesser experiences elsewhere with a larger dinner bill.
I have 20 years restaurant experience (out of it for the last 15 years) and have been to many very nice restaurants but I've not had a better experience anywhere. You need to make a reservation and go ASAP.

Update - Feb 18, 2018
TL;DR - Let me know about the kitchen staff tip ahead of time, don't spring it on when dropping the bill.
Two nights ago my wife and I went for the third time in so many years. The food was fine, the atmosphere is the same which is great and all and there were no problems with the service or the facility. The reason I'm editing my review is because I can't make a second/different one. My problem with my last visit is the amount of $$ they tacked on to our bill for the cooking staff and the people behind the scenes and we could also tip on top of that and that amount would go to the server. There was a survey form along with the bill that explained it all. It was a good amount of $$. The survey said that we could request it be removed but I was not about to do that and look like a chump so I bit the bullet, paid it as well as a good amount extra for the server. The bill turned out to be quite a bit more than I anticipated or wanted. Now mind you, you don't go to The Grey Plume to save money and I can afford it. My point is that I was not expecting it, I would have appreciated it if we were handed this explanation note before dinner, that would have made it a lot easier. Springing it on me when dropping the bill was awkward and I did not appreciate it one bit. I really don't see myself going back again, okay maybe, because the food there is so dang good and we like to support local businesses. I might simply ask if they are still doing that when I make our next reservation. FYI, I'm dropping my rating from 5 stars to 3 just so you know my initial review gave them a 5.

The experience was excellent. The food and the service were great. Every course was very high quality. The servers were clearly very well trained to a consistent high level of service and they all seemed to be enjoying their jobs.

It was a great date night for my wife and me. 

Here are a several bits of information that might help you understand the restaurant more. 

First, they focus heavily on sustainability and local sourcing, which I don't mind but which can come off as a little preachy at first. The staff clearly believes in the company mission and it perhaps makes them more passionate about working there.

Second, they definitely talk up their own products and try to up sell you to more courses. Since the food was excellent, I again did not mind, but we did have to say no a couple of times.

Third, although this is rated a $$  in the overall reviews it is definitely a $$$ restaurant. Entrées were $20-35 and appetizers and desserts were $10-25. Expect to pay $80+ for a night out as a couple. Now I walked away thinking it was worth it, but hopefully this helps you plan accordingly.

I took the whole hog butchery course, and it was a fantastic experience. The instructor was the chef-owner from The Grey Plume, and he made we were all comfortable and.was always right there to lend a hand. The included lunch was served at the restaurant and was delicious! The cooking courses are highly recommend.

If you are looking for ambience, this is not the location. We were seated in a blind hallway where something was smeared on the wall, though there were seats throughout the restaurant. Sadly unremarkable food, though the waitstaff was attentive and personable.

I recently went to this restaurant with a small group of friends for dinner. The service was spectacular. The waitress anticipated our every need and made the experience extra special. The food, as expected, was an unforgettable experience. The only part of the meal that I found to be a bit disappointing was the dessert. We ordered the duck-fat donut which turned out to be very dry with little flavor.
