Classic American Comfort Food
My experience at Blue Plate was fantastic! It's a great spot for classic, comforting American food. The burgers and sandwiches were juicy and flavorful, and the sides were solid. Everything felt fresh. The vibe is casual and welcoming, perfect for a relaxed meal with friends or family.

Great Value and Atmosphere at Blue Plate
Wow! My experience at Blue Plate was a great meal and a lovely evening! I hadn't been in a few years, and I was impressed that not only was the food really really good, but the service and prices were spot on. The atmosphere is always awesome. It's so nice to go out and feel like you are getting a good value in such a great atmosphere. The staff is excellent. I am so glad you guys are still around! I highly recommend the fried chicken and deviled eggs! Everything is delicious!

Exceptional Wedding Catering Experience
We had an absolutely fantastic experience working with Blue Plate for our wedding. From the outset, David, our manager and main point of contact, was incredibly responsive, organized, and helpful. He expertly guided us through the tasting and menu selection process, proving to be an absolute lifesaver in the week leading up to the wedding. His consistent and reliable presence made the entire planning process so much smoother. On the wedding day, Adrienne, our event lead, ensured everything ran seamlessly. She expertly managed the flow of service, alleviating any worries and demonstrating remarkable kindness and attentiveness throughout the evening. The food was absolutely fantastic, with guests raving about it. Chefs Rylan and Elliot created dishes that were both delicious and beautifully presented. Our family-style meal was executed flawlessly, and guests thoroughly enjoyed the communal dining experience. Every detail was meticulously handled, from appetizers to dessert. A particular highlight was the build-your-own cheesecake bar, which became one of the most talked-about aspects of the evening. What we appreciated most was how David and the Blue Plate team transformed our initial ideas into a clear, well-executed vision. They ensured we understood the preparation and serving process, allowing us to experience it beforehand just as our guests would. We wholeheartedly recommend Blue Plate for their professionalism, thoughtfulness, and the sheer joy of working with them. They were instrumental in making our wedding meal a highlight of the entire celebration.

Charming Spot with Solid Food, Service Lacking
My experience at this restaurant was centered around its charming converted home atmosphere and good solid food. The neighborhood is described as up and coming and trendy. We considered eating in the back garden patio, but it was a bit too cool. The service was a little hit and miss; it started well, but our server then disappeared for a while after taking our drinks and appetizers order.

Great Service and Food, but Surcharge Surprise
My experience at this restaurant was largely positive, with great service and food that was well-liked by my table. The atmosphere was also enjoyable, rated a 4 out of 5. However, a significant point of surprise was the 3% credit card surcharge that appeared on the bill after I had already provided my card. I was taken aback by this, as I wouldn't expect such a charge from a restaurant of this caliber, rather than a more casual establishment.

A Gem in San Francisco
Blue Plate is a truly special place in San Francisco that makes us appreciate living here. The ambience, with its wonderful patio and cozy dining room, sets the perfect scene for any evening. The food is consistently delicious, and the service is friendly. We were fortunate to arrive at the end of happy hour and enjoyed the excellent wine options at great prices. We love visiting Blue Plate before heading to a show at the Magic Patio nearby.

Delicious Dining Experience with Standout Dishes
What a delicious time! We enjoyed appetizers during happy hour, with each costing $10. 00. The mortadella & crescenza fondue was excellent, the charred octopus fabulous, and the smoked trout deviled eggs stunning. The fried chicken with grilled scallion and pickled pepper potato salad (lots of celery), smoked jalapeño buttermilk was a dining winner. The blue plate meat loaf with whipped potatoes and blue lake green beans is a must-return reason. The pan-roasted rock fish with romano beans, gypsy pepper pastina, harissa-orange broth, and sungold tomato raita was also noteworthy. This place was very narrow. All of the dishes were well plated, with generous portions. Thank you for an excellent dining experience.

Hidden Gem with Delicious Food
My experience at this restaurant was a great experience. I visited during a Tessier wine night, which featured pairings with the dishes. The back patio is a hidden gem, described as very cute and beautiful. For food, the fried chicken dish was simple yet very tasty, and the rockfish was exceptional. The atmosphere and service were rated a perfect 5, with a quiet noise level making conversation easy.

Sensational Food and Atmosphere!
My experience at this restaurant was sensational! We loved the steak and the seasonal risotto or pasta. The key lime pie was also a killer. I'm a big fan.

Delicious Food and Wonderful Garden Setting
My experience at this restaurant was wonderful. The menu offered a small but delicious selection of nuts and bolts, with a few appetizers and salads, and four or five main courses, complemented by some interesting sides. The food was straightforward yet featured tasty twists. I particularly enjoyed the shishito app and the gem salad, both of which were delicious. We had the pleasure of sitting in the garden out back, which was a truly wonderful atmosphere. The service was attentive without being overbearing. To conclude our meal, we enjoyed the key lime pie and port wine, which were satisfying.
