We were disappointed that Plate won't be added to our list of great restaurants for special events. The service was very good starting with the hostess and then the server and lastly the two managers dressed in classy suits. The food, however was mediocre and underwhelming. And to cap off the negative, I ordered a glass of House Cab, and received a $21 glass of wine. read more

I've been waiting for PLATE to come to Kansas in a long time. As an OG customer from the first location, I've always been a fan of their ambiance, food, drinks, and service. The Leawood location is the pinnacle of everything they're good at, yet up to the next level of modern Italian cuisine, exquisite ambiance, and 7 star service level. Happy hours are amazing and plenty of parking in the area compared to their other locations. Cheers. read more

I really wanted to give this a better review. The staff was very nice and I enjoyed the ambiance but the menu was somewhat limited for dinner and the food was just not impressive at all. read more

Did brunch with my son. Everything was very good. The Pork Milanese was a Brunch special and was our favorite. The dessert was just okay for us. read more

Wonderful food. Great drinks. We love to sit in the bar area where the bartenders take great care of you and it is just a bit more casual.

We chose to try Plate for an early Father's Day meal with our 19 month old daughter. We chose to sit on the patio which was lovely and had several well shaded tables. Our waiter was Greg and he was fabulous; so attentive, respectful and friendly. All the food we had was delicious. Highly recommend the Ricotta + Tomato bruschetta as a starter and the lemoncello cake as a finisher. The meals we enjoyed were delicious as well. We will be back read more

Happy Hour at the bar was great! Enjoyed sharing the sausage pizza and arancini with some crisp white wine. Absolutely loved the pear bruschetta. Bartender was busy but so great at taking care of everyone! read more

This was our first time at this location. It has the same vibe and flare of the MO location but I must say, the portions seemed to differ considerably compared to our previous experience. This is such a beautiful establishment that is so welcoming and comfortable. My martini was made very well and tasted great. My husband's steak and eggs was to his perfection, no complaints there at all. My chicken and risotto missed the mark a tad but was fresh...hot and pretty enjoyable nonetheless. The chicken was outwardly sweet with a maple glaze but lacked flavor throughout for me. The risotto was slightly undercooked and lacked the creamy texture and flavor that sets it apart from ordinary rice. I added salt and pepper to both but didn't want to over season so I opted to eat it as it was. The eggs were PERFECT!!!!!!!! Overall, our server made our experience top notch...She was full of smiles and was so prompt, efficient and kind that it made for the most enjoyable brunch in a while. Can't beat that! read more

First time in and our experience was great! Sat in the bar and Joey was our server. He was very personal, made us feel so welcome, and made great recommendations. He even through in free bread for us! Everything from the appetizers to dessert was delicious. We can't wait to go back! read more

We decided to stop in for lunch to celebrate the last Red Friday for 2023 and it's 100 the right decision! Every dish we had was delicious. The server was knowledgeable, she has great recommendations on cocktails. Service was prompt and friendly. It's not loud at all, so it's a good place to have lunch or dinner and catch up. We have to plan to come back for dinner and try their delicious desserts! read more

My wife and I tried Plate hoping to add another great restaurant to our list of places to celebrate special occasions. Tonight, we were celebrating Valentine's Day weekend. First the good. Great drinks, Caesar salad and risotto. Now the bad. I believe great customer service has died, even at high end restaurants, and the customer service at Plate only serves as further proof of my position. Our server was cold and insincere. She barely spoke and when she did never make eye contact and always seemed to be in a rush. We never got a welcome. At the mid-dinner point our drinks were empty including our waters and she was no where to be found. Not totally blaming her as there should have been support staff to step in and at least refill our water glasses. The broccolini as so over seasoned it caused me to choke. I found silver skin in the last corner of my $50 Fillet Mignon. This has never happened to me when I have ordered a Fillet Mignon anywhere else. Since silver skin is non-edible and always removed from the tenderloin this meant I could not eat the last three bites of my steak. Plate was a disappointment and not the special plate my wife and I will returning to for special occasions. There are better options in the Kansas City. I am posting this not to bash this local business but instead giving the feedback I would have given to the manager had he bothered to stop by our table to ask us about the dinner. read more

Nice spot for dinner! Service great and perfect location Pasta dish was uncooked last night but manager took it off our bill so that was excellent service. Will return! read more

Tried Plate for the first time as a takeout the staff was very friendly and helped me order the right things. The only concern I had was that the quality was too low. The food was delicious and we were given a house bread as complimentary. Try truffle gnocchi for sure. The place has a great vibe and good combination of colors. read more

This would be a five star rating but the Leawood location is very noisy - difficult to talk to the person next to you. If some soft textures were added to the interior the noise would be muffled somewhat. We will try one of the other locations next time and hope that the others deal with the noise better. The food was excellent and the service was outstanding. read more

I have nothing bad to say about my visit to Plate. The service, drinks, and food was amazing. I have to admit, I was a little skeptical with the portion sizes from the pictures but as a big eater I got plenty of food between the bread and my meal. The pasta is nice and firm but not hard which is perfect for me. Every part of this meal was exceptional and I will happily be returning again in the future. I you have the opportunity to have Juan V. As your server, I highly recommend him. Very attentive and personable. He turned a great meal into an exceptional experience. read more

The atmosphere is quiet, at Plate, allowing one to enjoy the conversation. We read positive remarks about the Brussels sprouts. Oh my goodness! Roasted, they are often just charred, tasting burnt. Not these! Perfectly browned, then fried and gently flavored (not overwhelmingly drowned) with balsamic. The potato gnocchi was like none other. Rather than rubbery balls of potato pasta, they were marble-sized, cooked to cheese consistency. Indeed, they turned out to be the perfect surprise addition to the Brussels sprouts! The rigatoni e gamberi was al dente, with nicely done chicken. If you have a tender palate, you may find it a bit peppery, although certainly not overwhelming. The filet mignon, done medium rare, was cooked to perfection, and could almost be cut with a butter knife. The flavorings were nicely understated. When asked what we thought about the meal, we mentioned the heat of the rigatoni. We we surprised, and a bit embarrassed when the Head Waiter came by and recommended the Lemon Ice Cream Sandwich - complimentary! This is NOT your basic ice cream sandwich! With a sprig of mint, drizzled with honey, the thin crusts were lemon macaroons, with frozen lemon custard. Um, fabulous! Juan W, our server, was knowledgeable and helpful, comfortably answering our questions. His descriptions of the food preparation piqued our appetite. Plate is a must! read more

Ambiance is ok..would be nice if they had candles on the table, decor was nice but needs something a little extra, flowers maybe would help a bit. Service was mostly good some of the staff had a fast food vibe, maybe due to inexperience. The entrees come with no sides whatsoever. The chicken was good but a little dry. My salmon was excellent! The gnocchi was undercooked, still mushy. Finally the stemware that was used was not appropriate to the type of wine. My desert was wonderful and our server did an excellent suggestion to go with the "port and torte". Just needs more fine tuning to make it a better experience. read more

Food and service were great! Had the meatballs and Brussels sprouts and they were the best I have ever had at a restaurant. Waitress was great too. Can't wait to return. read more

Drake was our server and he took great care of us. Meatballs are delicious. Nice menu. The atmosphere modern and welcoming. We thought our meals were spot on and the dessert was absolutely amazing!

Really good environment and amazing food. Highly recommend their Carbonara! Service top notch as well.

Yum, yum, yum! Went for brunch on a Sunday and it didn't disappoint. It had something for everyone - regular breakfast type food, pasta, Italian type sandwiches and pizza. We started off with the garlic bread and and one of their specialty cocktails - I think it was the rose martini? Highly recommend both. I had the fried chicken breast with risotto and medium eggs- I wasn't too sure but the waiter, Gabriel, sold it and it didn't disappoint - delicious! My friend got the pappardelle pasta - and I definitely will get that next time - so so good. Her daughter got the biscuits and gravy - she said that the dish was comforting. I had a small taste of the gravy and I agree. Some of the best sausage gravy I've tasted. For my second drink the bartender created one for me after - I just told her vodka, not sweet and I like herbal notes. She hit it perfectly. I love it when a bartender can create cocktails on the spot that showcases their creativity. The restaurant is in the old California pizza kitchen spot. I also spotted a patio so that will be fun in the nicer read more

Great place for a date! My wife and I loved it. We had a wonderful evening and have been back a few times.

Recently visited Plate with a group of co-workers and had an excellent experience. We were able to utilize their private room, which actually was located in the middle of the restaurant and had glass walls to maintain privacy while not completely segregating you from the restaurant experience. Lots of great menu options, and sides large enough to share with several people. We ended up sharing several appetizers and sides to go with our steak and pasta entrees. Definitely recommend! read more

Great atmosphere and food. Great spot in OP. Bartender is very friendly and attentive. Pizza is awesome too.

The ragú--yes! The steak and mushrooms--absolutely! A pretend I'm a trust fund baby with an afternoon gin and tonic cocktail then come to realize you actually are and Elon Musk is your father--yes. read more

Noah the manager and Emily and Bailey on the server team took such great care of us! We come here every week for happy hour and for brunch and always have such a good time. The pear bruschetta and burgers were great but it's the friendly professional sevice that always brings us back! read more

Great food & service! The ambience was awesome also. They were able to accommodate us without making reservations prior. read more

Plate - Garlic bread - Italian Near Me - Leawood, Kansas

So delicious. The garlic bread was my favorite thing but the pappardelle was my favorite pasta! the gnocchi probably would have been the favorite but I wish it was served a bit hotter for my personal taste. Initially when we ordered I wasn't thrilled for the desserts we ordered, bombe and lemonchello cake, but boy was I wrong! Some of the best desserts I've had from a restaurant in a while. Love this place and the chef is the nicest guy! read more

First of all, the ambiance of Plate is exquisite. It's classy, but not over-the-top. Everyone on the staff was pleasant and accommodating. For starters, we ordered focaccia, ricotta bruschetta, and Brussels sprouts. All three were absolutely to die for. The focaccia was soft and savory, the ricotta bruschetta was fresh and creamy, and the Brussels sprouts were cooked to utter crispy perfection. For my main dish I ordered the ahi tuna, one of my favorite dishes. When it was brought out I noticed it looked more cooked than I'm used to (pictured). I tried it and it wasn't tender, so I sent it back and they brought me a new plate that was cooked perfectly. It was flavored so well and unbelievably tender. For dessert we ordered the bomboloni and a special of the night, which was a salted caramel custard. They were both delicious and gone within minutes. We tried both the chocolate martini and the espresso martini - both were quite possibly the best we've ever had. We will undoubtedly be back in the near future. read more

Sat at the bar Saturday night actually by myself. I don't really do that often and felt unsure about it. I am really happy I did. The bartender Cam was very friendly and recommended the perfect things for me which is also normally difficult since I am *picky*. Don't remember the drink but the breadsticks were great. Which I don't normally ever get. Again. So yes I recommend this place and Sitting at the bar if all of the bartenders are close to the same service as the one I had. read more

My friend and I went there for Happy Hour yesterday for my birthday. The place is very well decorated and fits the atmosphere of Park Place. We ordered the burger, truffle fries and a margherita pizza. The burger was amazing; probably one of the best I've had in awhile! The fries and pizza were also very good. Now to the highlight of the meal: Everyone working there! Our server, Brandon B., was amazing and made the experience wonderful! We both agreed that we've never been greeted and treated this well in a restaurant. read more

My sister and I went to Plate for a Wednesday dinner and the place was pretty packed, so I'm glad we had a reservation! This was my second time going to Plate - I'd been about a year ago and the food was good but the service was very slow, so I thought it was worth a second chance. We settled on the pasta prix fixe so we could try a lot of different items. We started with the arancini which were so good. Arancini can be really bland in the wrong hands but this was full of flavor - the arancini themselves as well as the sauce and grated cheese they were served with. We both got the moderno salads which seemed really small - I wonder if they size them down for the prix fix? I'll be honest though, I was glad to save room for the rest of the meal! I really liked the cherries and bresaola in the salad, I just wish there'd been more than 2-3 pieces of each! I got the Rigatoni and subbed the shrimp for chicken, which was on the drier side. The vodka sauce had a bit of a kick to it. My sister got the bolognese and this was legit the star of the show - so good, so full of flavor and tender braised beef! The spices and herbs were excellently blended. They were out of the chocolate bombe for dessert so we chose the pistachio cake instead and it was pretty good! The downside to the meal was the slow service, so that hadn't improved since the last time I dined here. Our waiter seemed to be checking on a large party quite a lot and would often walk right by our table without stopping to check in. I think we waited a good 20 minutes after finishing our pasta, just waiting for the dessert menu. It was honestly frustrating. The other staff seemed pretty attentive - our used dishes were promptly picked up and the tables next to us had their waiters stopping by often. read more

What a great date night at Plate. The restaurant has a sleek and modern design with fun lighting and an atmosphere that is perfect for an upscale happy hour. The menu has a collection of tasty dishes with everything from truffle bread , mushroom risotto, gnocchi, and bolognese. We enjoyed the pasta prix fix for two menu which included one antipasto, two salads, two pastas, and a dessert. We started out with the Arancini and it was delicious. They were fried perfectly, the rice inside was cooked well, and the peas were a nice homage to the traditional dish. The best part however was the basil pesto aioli that they sat on and the fresh sage on top. It was a knockout! I ate the pappardelle and it was light and inviting! I had two drinks, one classic cosmopolitan and another was a suggestion from our server, they were both great! Our server was incredibly sweet and even helped me crutch out of the building. I highly recommend Plate and I am already planning my next trip back read more

Plate - Garlic Bread Appetizer - Italian Near Me - Leawood, Kansas

Loved Jake as our server. Reviewed the menu with us and recommend the pric fix menu item. Totally enjoyed the appetizer and Caesar salad. The carbons was great and finished up with chocolate expresso mousse. Will go back for sure read more

Had another outstanding dinner at Plate. The Arancini were crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside. Our server Juan was extremely helpful in choosing a wine. My first choice was a 2019 St. Supery Cabernet. Juan suggested, based on my palate, that I would enjoy the 2019 Justin Isosceles (which is 80% Cabernet Sauvignon) more. I've had the St. Supery before, but I enjoyed the Justin much more. Juan was spot on. The rigatoni and vodka sauce with shrimp was impeccable! May be my favorite dish. And dessert? The tiramisu was incredibly delicious. The consistency of the food and service is remarkable. read more

I would not recommend plate to anyone. The food and service was very poor during my visit and I will not be returning.

Went for lunch and just had the meatballs. Had to take a to go box! They are absolutely delicious and I can't wait to go back and try something else... and dessert! read more

The hostess recognized that it was date night for us and greeted us by name. She was very friendly and helped us find a wonderful table. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable, and he made great suggestions. My wife ordered a Sprite, and he made it look fancy to surprise and slight her. The handmade garlic bread is a must, and the Ceasar salad tasted amazing. The pasta dishes we had were extremely tasty, especially the pappardelle. Our server said we wouldn't be disappointed and we weren't. It was the best pasta I have ever eaten. The Italian old fashioned was prepared very well - although it was not served in a whiskey glass, which bothered me slightly. The dessert was excellent - we had the chocolate mousse which was the perfect consistency and the outer shimmery chocolate shell was the perfect crunch. Great dinner all around. read more
