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.

Service Without a Smile – While the food was above average, the experience was completely ruined by a waitress with a very entitled attitude who was of the opinion that customers need to be warm and friendly and only speak when spoken to. I asked to speak to the manager on the way out, but was told it was not possible. Unfortunately, I would not return to Blue Plate because of this. Nor would any of the ten people in our party. When all's said and done, the restarant loses, not the customer.

Great Food - Terrible Service – Just had a great date at Blue Plate last night and the food was fantastic. I wish I could say the same for the service. We set our reservations for 8:30 so that we wouldn't be rushed and could enjoy each others company. Apparently, the server had other ideas. I think we actually said three seperate times that we were still looking and probably needed some more time (this is within less than 10 minutes- so it wasn't like we were excessively taking time). Moreover, there were a few open table ar... read more

User review by ohiolemon – I love this place. It's a good place to take out-of-town guests because it's so "San Francisco" -- funky+creative ambience, casual+curteous waitstaff, quality american food. It's very unpretentious so don't go there if you're feeling fancy -- you'll be a little disappointed. The mac n cheese is a must have.

This Place Gets It – There are so many places you can eat in this city for 150 bucks for two that are awesome; Zuni, Delfina, Faralon, Houstons (yeah, Houstons). And there are so many places that two people can eat in this city for 150 bucks that kind of spank it; Chapou, Chez Spencer, Luna Park (if you drink a lot) etc... But regardless of what these reveiwres here say about Blue Plate being "pricey", their portions are HUGE, everything I have had has been awesome, and their take on everything - from presention to ambience ... read more

So cute and delish, but pricey! – Great food, loved everything I've tried! But, it's a bit snobby in the price department.

Missed expectations – I was really looking forward to coming here due to the reviews I read. Unfortunately, I was not happy with my meal. I had the pork, which was so dry I could hardly eat it. I also tasted the chicken and steak from people in my party. Both were good but not unusual. The service was average at best. On the upside, the decor and atmosphere were great. I would also like to try the patio area. The only locale downside is it is a little distant (south)from most the Mission activity.

Blue Plate – I do not live anywhere near the mission, however I make the drive for this place. One of the best places San Francisco has to offer. Each dish is made with TLC. The menu is always changing and I have enjoyed every new creation it offers. CHECK IT OUT! Make certain to make reservations as this place gets busy.

Dynamic Dining – Funky Little Spot in the Mission District is truly an honest description of the "plate". The salads were extemely crisp, my pork chop was "scrumptious", with tasty chard and fava beans and displayed perfectly. The wine was superb a "cab" chosen by the chef. A peach and rhubbarb upsidedown cake....I wanted to lick the dish...it was awesome!!! Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and his suggestions were valid and helpful. the service deserves a 9.8. I will return.......
