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.

Very average – I went in thinking this place is known as one of the best, if not THE best, restaraunts for comfort food, but I was disappointed. The pork chop I got was dry, and the food took incredibly long for what it was. I wouldn't go back.

a super comfy place with awesome food. – what makes th blu plate outstanding? they serve some truly great food, but without the stifling formality you find in 'fancy' restaurants. they are not trying to emulate gary dankos. i mention this because last night gary danko was seated next to me, confirming my belief that the quality of food, and overall experience, for a neigborhood restaurant is top-notch. dankos offers a great dining experience, and is worth visiting, but i wouldnt want to eat there all the time. the blue plate... read more

Attitude does not EQUAL Excellence – I attended a dinner party at Blue Plate and my overall impression of the place is less than a 5 out of 10. The food was served family style and there was not enough for everyone. For 18 people we had one waiter, thus we found ourselves passing each others' plates, requesting clean wine glasses more than once, no fresh ice water was served even after I asked for it twice, no coffee was served with dessert, our waiter drank with the group, and we were overbilled for drinks we did not order.... read more

Wow - a must for SF foodies! – Blue Plate could survive in any SF neighborhood, but it belongs in the Mission and truly fits the feel of the neighborhood. The grilled romaine salad with bacon, tomatoes and parmesan was killer. The meatloaf is hands down, the best in the city and the Mac and cheese and brussell sprouts with pecans and sage were incredible. I'll certainly go back and eat through the rest of the menu. Beyond the food, the great wine selection, the atmosphere, friendly staff and the entire experience make this a... read more

the blue crush – In the past 3yrs. I have heard the good and the bad about this place. Last night I finally decided to go for myself. As a foodie in SF for the last 2 decades, I was a little apprehensive. Well, the food was excellent! Our server was great, although I could see the floor was slammed. The garden was refreshing and warm under the heat lamps (at each table). The wine list is a good mix of regions and suggestedly paired perfectly with each course. The cost is affordable; anyone unwilling to factor in labor and re... read more

Still Fabulous – I hadn't been to Blue Plate in months but decided to go after an unsatisfying try at a different comfort food restaurant. As I expected, Blue Plate was consistent and such a pleasure to dine at. The staff always accomodates my picky request to be seated in a specific section of the restaurant and is friendly and pleasant while doing so. The ambiance is relaxing and the patrons are a balance of yup and funk. The food is the best part. Wine too!! I love how they list dessert wines that compliment their origina... read more

Worth the visit – Yes, it is weird to find such a hip tasty place so far out in the mission. But it's well worth the trip. Summertime is the best time to go, when the back patio is open.

Mixed feelings – First - they need to remove alot of their tables, its way crowded and uncomfortable. Second, ditch the attitude! Hire some people who might actually LIKE other people. Wine list - great. Food is good, but both of us had upset stomachs the next day! And we had very different things. Dessert was great. Prices are high and I'm not one to complain about price usually. For less money go to The Liberty on Cortland.
