I heard about Plouf, but just read some not-so-great older listings about Plouf being loud, crowded, overpriced. Can anyone recommend it as a good lunch spot? If not, how about something between there and the Embarcadero for good meat and seafood (even if not al fresco)? Thanks so much in advance, SF foodies!

Plouf's not usually loud until later in the evening. Moules-frites are the thing to order and cost about the same as anyplace. Some of their other dishes can be startlingly expensive.
