Obsessed with the spicy shrimp and crab risotto here, it is such a unique and flavorful dish! The cream spaghetti is also super tasty. I have only done take out so far but even when I just pop in to grab my to go order the staff are so warm and welcoming and friendly! Highly recommend :)

Nice little restaurant. The staff are quick and friendly. The food is delicious. Depending on when you go, parking can be a little hard but there should be a free spot close by.

Had a chance to go to The Plate for the first time - our friends had been there before. An interesting fusion "take" on classics like risotto and pilaf. And while the food was quite good, the service was not. My wife's order was not entered correctly and she had to wait a pretty substantial amount of time (we were about half finished) before her correct order arrived. The server also struggled to split the bill the way we had requested. My hope is that this was a server in training. But even if so, the person training her should have been nearby. Even little things like not being presented menus as we were seated (it was probably about 10 minutes), asking for additional glasses for our sparkling water only to have to wait until we were nearly done eating. All these things point to inexperience. I need to be clear, I work in the restaurant industry. I know that finding qualified staff members is hard. And I know that finding the time to train them is hard as well. But knowing that a first impression is also crucial to repeat business should ensure that new staff are properly supervised to ensure an excellent dining experience. It's not just about the food. Overall, this put a fairly significant damper on the evening. Just one last note...you can tell from my profile, that I do not hand out poor ratings often (or lightly). And when I do, I try to offer constructive feedback because I know the impact negative feedback can have on a business. Edit: I had a chance to talk with friends and ponder my visit. Upon reflection, the food deserves more kudos. And it and the atmosphere bump up the rating a bit. 3 stars was too harsh. Our server was very kind and did their best.

Food was ok but basically a coffee shop that sells mediocre spaghetti. Not sure it’s worthy of 4.6 stars

Friggin amazing. Ordered delivery off Door Dash, and it took forever to cool down enough to inhale - very impressed. Got the cream chicken & mushroom risotto...unreal!

The chicken Katsu was so good! The Spicy Shrimp Crab Cream Risotto was good too, spicy, but yummy! The green tea cheesecake was light and hit the spot.

Food was presented nicely and flavors were great! Staff were friendly and attentive. They accommodated my Daughters GF/DF intolerance. Will be back again to try out other menu option's. Dietary restrictions: GF and DF accommodations
