About this business

You might pass by this casual and slightly funky place and dismiss it as just another hole-in-the-wall, but do not be fooled. Inside, it is done up with whimsical lighting and bright paint. The menu takes the best of Californian cuisine and fusion trends. The wait staff is as hip as the joint itself and just as accomplished. The entrees are imaginative, fresh and never less than very good. The wine list is also good, featuring Californian vintages.

Greatly appreciated neighborhood restaurant... – I have to admit that I have had only one complaint about the this place... I cannot always walk in and get a table! I have yet to have a bad meal here. The meatloaf is devine, the "drunken goats cheese mac", words cannot begin. Daily fresh food specials, always great. The best part is you can watch the guys cooking, and let me tell you. They work their asses off to put that food on your plate. I almost hate to give this restaurant a great review, because I know that the better... read more

Both down-home and sophisticated, this bastion of comfort food offers a Mission twist on California cuisine. – The Scene Three small dining spaces, each styled with thrift-store curios and mismatched lamps, host well-dressed hipsters at tightly packed, wooden tables. The front room offers a clear view of the lively exhibition kitchen, but the premier real estate--tree-tucked tables overlooking a gurgling fountain--is in the highly sought-after backyard garden. Servers keep the frenzied pace going with efficient service. The ... read more

The best meatloaf ever – The meatloaf is made from a mixture of beef, pork (bacon?), and spices that makes it out of this world. The other entrees are good, but not as out of this world as the meatloaf. Waitstaff is pleasant. The wine list could use some CPR, but is ok (I admit I am a bit picky about wine). In case it's not clear, if you love meatloaf, go for the meatloaf.

Amazing Comfort Food – Visit this place ASAP! The meatloaf is the best I've ever tasted, and the mac and cheese is heavenly. Our server was awesome. Although it was a Saturday night, and fairly crowded, we never felt rushed. Can't wait to return!

Not to be a complainer, but... Reservations were a bit pointless, noisy, and so on... – Ok, the food was decent. That, however, is only one part of the equation. I would not recommend this restuarant. The kitchen is exposed and thus is loud. The tables are tightly packed together, which is fine, but if you can't hear one another, then you end up sharing your converstation with your neighbors. And for practical purposes, since the tables are small, then you should have plates that fit in that small place. As it was, we were a... read more

Awesome staff, food and atmosphere – It was there first time I had been there and my expectations were low due to the name but the food was awesome and different. The ribeye and Halibut was great. The staff was very cool and attentive. Highly recommend this restaurant

great food, a bit pricey – I was a bit nervous after reading other reviews here about customer service, but it appears that the folks at the Blue Plate have read the reviews as well and are working on mending their ways! We made a reservation for 6, changed it to 5 when we got there, and 3 of us were seated within about 3 minutes in the back room (much less crowded than the front room). The service was tops all evening. The room was not too noisy for conversation, not too quiet--so we could enjoy ourselves without distrubing... read more

Consistently Excellent Food, Great Service – I love this place! I've eaten at Blue Plate probably close to a dozen times, and it's consistently some of the best food I've had in the city. I've gone here on dates, with friends, with family, and the service is casual, friendly, and on-the-ball. And I love the ambience--very hip, well designed place to dine.
