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.

simply put Delicious – Amazing food, that's all that needs to be said. Please go here for some good american cuisine. I felt like I was eating in my livingroom, Amazing establishment.

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.

Terrible Date Night – I think the food is the only saving grace about this restaurant, and I strongly disagree that this restaurant should be characterized as a good date destination. My boyfriend and I had reservations at the restaurant last night and still had to wait a good 25 minutes to be seated - and for everyone who has been to Blue Plate, there is no bar area or even a space for people to sit/stand and wait for the table and not be knocked into by the traffic in the restaurant. To top it off, the host ignored us and ... read more

Best Date Place – I adore Blue Plate and find it to be a great date restaurant. For the amount of food you get, the prices aren't bad. The servers do tend to try to turn over tables rapidly, so it's better to get a reservation on the later side. The outside patio is so romantic! It's easier to get outside during the week, although the patio isn't always open. I adore the meatloaf and the brussel sprouts. Decent wine selection.

HORRENDOUS CUSTOMER SERVICE! – Asked to sit outside. Was told there was a table eating dessert. Half an hour later was led to a table inside and given 2 different excuses why we weren't getting the table outside as expected (diners weren't actually that far along as believed, and then told someone else was actually ahead of us. hmmmm). Was told it would be an additional hour for a table outside. Decided not to wait as it was already late. Called to complain to the manager and was given yet a third excuse for the mishap. How ... read more

Great date restaurant, a little pricey for weekly fare. – The restaurant's photo really doesn't do the ambiance justice. It's a very cute place. I had the park chops, which was a portion far larger than I could eat in one sitting. I found that on it's own, the seasoning was okay.. I like it a bit sweeter, however it was served with a walnut bread and blueberrys. When all the ingredients are put in your mouth at the same time the result is just right. My partner had the meatloaf which was a little over-seasoned to my taste. I... read more
