My coworker and I hit this place up for brunch today, the atmosphere was lively and the place was filled (so not quiet but not disturbing) . The wait staff were quick and attentive and super polite.l and gave great recommendations . The food was good, I was happy they made their corned beef hash in house. Their Bellinis and Bloody Mary was good and their rye toast was the best I've ever had. I'd be back one day. Thanks again ! read more

Food was really good and came out quick. I ordered the corned beef hash and my friend got the tater tots sliders, both were delicious. There was a little plastic on the bottom of her country fried steak which mistakes happens sometimes but was off putting. And our waiter was not friendly at all. I felt better when I heard this was a common thing with this server and it wasn't just towards us but wish they had a more welcoming staff. The ambiance is very cute. I'd definitely come back for the food though. read more

Well thought out and amazing looking menu but The food lacked seasoning/flavor. Things don't have to be overseasoned but a dash of salt and/or pepper could go a long way. I ordered the egg tacos with goat cheese. It should have been great but the egg was so bland it brought the dish down. The guac was ok but lacked the acidity/lime found it most guacamole. The dish ate somewhat dry. I love goat cheese but there wasn't enough to make a big difference. Loved the texture of the eggs. They were soft, light, and fluffy (but bland) which was the consensus at the table. Everyone said their dishes lacked salt. Salt and pepper was definitely being passed back and forth. Fruit bowl was basic, I just wanted something fresh with my meal. Hostess was very friendly. The server was ok. It was busy so get em in, serve quickly, get em out was the vibe.. With the amount of people dining, the atmosphere was kinda loud so it was somewhat hard to have and hear conversation. This place wasn't bad, but it wasn't as enjoyable as it should have been read more

Great food and service! I order the Dubai waffle, which was on the specials. It was delicious but I wish it had some aspect of chocolate on it. We ordered a chocolate chip pancake for the table and it was delicious! read more

The Plate is a great option for breakfast within the area. The food is fresh, well cooked, flavorful, and plated nicely, and the prices are very reasonable especially for the generous portions. It was actually our first time eating here despite them being open for I believe close to 10 years now. I love how they continue to update their specials on a weekly basis, which to me shows that the chef and the kitchen are not complacent and continue to try to keep things innovative despite being a long-established restaurant. I do think that the business would benefit greatly from a renovation or relocation to a newer building. The interior and exterior could use some TLC, and it just seems like the use of space and flow of the restaurant could be more optimal. While service was courteous and fast, the business would definitely benefit from an overall additional focus on the front-of-house customer experience and ambiance. For example, having a sign that points to the dining room asking for customers to seat themselves feels too impersonal, and again this is where the restaurant's layout and extra space works against them. The chef's team clearly takes immense pride in the presentation of their food. Extending that same focus to the restaurant's ambience and personal warmth would truly elevate them to another level. All that being said, we're looking forward to exploring more of their menu and offerings in the future! read more

We went here for Easter brunch. The restaurant is clean, staff is very friendly. We were greeted and seated promptly. The breakfast menu is pretty lengthy with pretty much anything you'd like to eat from French toast, to Bennie's & breakfast sandwiches. Plus for me is when a restaurant has flavored coffee which they had multiple options, hazelnut & French vanilla. I had the hazelnut, yum!! A couple of us had the banana chocolate crepe waffle. So good! The presentation was amazing and so was the taste. Crunchy Belgian waffle topped with banana, whipped cream and a chocolate filled crepe. Very filling! Others in our party got the frosted flake coated French toast, Belgian waffle & caramel apple stuffed French toast. Everyone left full & happy! read more

DELICIOUS food!!! They don't add a lick of salt to these dishes so be prepared for adding some if you're like me. The Mac and cheese was fabulous and the Seitan Philly - also fabulous. They make a yum iced latte. Got mine with oat milk. The service is scattered, I can't decide if they're dedicated to a table or it's better off to go to the counter and order there. All I know is aside from dropping the food at the table, they don't check on you again. Seating is inside or outside, great location, the view though - is a parking lot and buildings. Bathrooms are very clean and gender neutral. read more

Looked online and it said my breakfast would be 10.95 then I looked on their website and it said 12.00 so with tax it was almost 15.00. Corned beef has two eggs over , potatoes and rye toast . Tasted pretty good but not worth the price imo. read more

Food was great but the server was just downright unpleasant. First time there we had him, gave a pass because it was a busy Sunday and was probably stressed out. Went during the week and same experience. Never checks on you or refills. I'm a server myself so I definitely give grace when I see someone stressed. However this is just this guy's personality or lack there of one. No one should be made to be uncomfortable when dining out. Don't like people ... don't be a server then. read more

Great menu. Food very good. Service very slow. I had to go ask for more coffee. Would go again, as long as I had time to sit and relax.

I was visiting friends and family in Connecticut when my friend suggested checking out The Plate. He's vegan so the large vegan menu gave him a ton of great options while I live in the desert so any chance for me to order some New England style lobster I'm gonna jump on that. I ordered the lobster grilled cheese and this thing was not only mouth watering to look at but absolutely delicious to consume and the French fries it was served with were top notch as well, dare I say the perfect lunch? On top of having amazing food the place itself is super charming and screams Connecticut. Overall, The Plate was a fantastic place to grab some lunch and I've honestly been thinking about that lobster grilled cheese for a month now. When you mix good food with super friendly staff and a cozy environment you get a five star slap to the stomach. read more

Food was good but only if there was more served. Notice the man next to me with the same exact dish. His was looking full but I guess since it's in that part of town they cater to right skin not the other. But I know they won't care since they have that crowd there read more

I really liked this restaurant. It was busy but friendly. Staff was great. They kept checking on me. A lot of bang for your buck. Not too far off of the highway. Free Wi-Fi and plenty of parking. Great for small or large groups or just a visit by yourself. They are able to customize your breakfast omelettes whatever way you need. As most of my friends know I had a weight loss surgery, which does not allow me to eat things very fast and things get cold. They were able to box my leftovers up with no problem and heat up my coffee so that I had it nice and hot for the road. Patrons were of all ages. I like it that they had a side that was set up for dining and then another side that was set up for drinking. The staff didn't rush me either. Overall great experience and would recommend it to another friend or family to visit. read more

Excellent food very friendly service and good atmosphere... great local spot I grew up in this town and this is one of my favorite places

I'd go 3.5 stars if allowed. Pros: on a Monday just after 12pm there was plenty of seating. Extensive menu of breakfast choices. The booth I sat in was spacious (easily fit 4). The mixed berry French toast was tasty. Cons: the steak and eggs special was just ok. I've had better meat quality at other places. I didn't realize until after I left but they forgot to give me part of the special. The coffee wasn't great. Service was slow possibly because there weren't many workers and I noticed a lot of take out orders. read more

I came here for breakfast this morning with family. The restaurant was busy but not too busy which was nice. Their booths have high tops which are also great. I love their extensive menu and how it offered unique flavor combinations and everything we had was delicious. I ordered the Creme brûlée French toast, which had the cracked sugar, creamy filling and fluffy toast that I was looking for. The portion size was good for the price. The only thing that was lacking was speedy service. All servers were friendly and helpful but it took about 20 minutes to get our check after we completed our meal. I would return again for the food but allow more time for my meal. read more

Came here on a whim looking for a breakfast spot when my two friends from out of town were visiting. We all LOVED our meals and this will be my new breakfast spot whenever I'm in the area. Lots of vegan options for breakfast and lunch too! I got the tater tot waffles with eggs and cheddar cheese and a Bloody Mary. My meal was so good and I've been wanting to go back just to have this again! Can get fairly crowded on the weekends so just know that ahead of time since you might have to wait a bit for a table. We decided to sit at the bar and it was fine. Service was great and the bartender was friendly and was able to do separate checks without giving us a hard time about it. read more

This was a last minute find and it is a true gem! My boyfriend and I stopped here for breakfast after having to unexpectedly change our itinerary and we were so pleased with this spot. The service was fantastic, our waitress was a doll! And the food was delicious. I would definitely come back here if ever in town. As far as the food is concerned, I always ask for a salty dish and a sweet dish. I went with the classic eggs, bacon and toast which did not disappoint and then asked for the creme brûlée French toast which was soooooo good! A must have! read more

This place is deff a go-to spot for my family and I! I've never had a dish I didn't like! And WOW the food comes out QUICK!! Food: They have something for everyone. If you're plain Jane and just want a bacon egg and cheese or if you want something fun and modern, they have those types of dishes as well! So you could really eat there depending on any mood! Ambiance: I think of The Plate as an upscale diner, because they have such a wide variety of food and they have breakfast and lunch. Fun fact, they also have alcohol and my husband loves the bloody Mary's Service: really great they're on their stuff here! Quick, ordering, quick delivery to the table. No frills! read more

The Plate will be getting my business again. Busy place on the weekend, and I can see why. Service was good but the food was fantastic. Got the Tate's sliders and as you can see, it's like they put the tater tots in a waffle press. Fun! Taters were crispy on the outside but nice and soft inside. The eggs were cooked to perfection and the pico tasted like they made it 5 seconds before they put it on the plate. The fresh jalapeños gave it a great kick. read more

So as empty nesters, we try to find new places to try each week. Today we ventured to THE PLATE in Milford CT. The reviews were good and we have to agree. The menu items were ambitious. The items we ordered are in the phot description and we wanted to try some standards and some new choices. The chicken fried steak was delicious, highly recommend. The pulled pork hash was good, but the potatoes had a bit of mashed quality when mixed with the pork and I would have water it more well done. The challah was thinner than most, but really delicious. The coffee was meh, but I'm thinking I may be a coffee snob, so don't go by me. Long story short, nice place to go. Service was solid and the location expands a few storefronts so plenty of seating. read more

Second time here for breakfast. The place was jumping on the Friday morning before Christmas, but there were tables in the quieter entry space before you walk into the main dining room. Despite how busy it was, service was prompt and friendly. I really like the menu; plenty of usual items, but a good number of creative ones as well. I had an omelet which was very good, but I especially liked the home fries with lots of paprika and onions. The white toast used better bread than most diners. I think in addition to good cooking, they use above average ingredients and it shows. The portions are not as large as some places, but they are definitely enough, and I'll trade quality for quantity anytime. Coffee was good too. Prices very reasonable. We're only in Milford once a year, but we'll be back every time. read more

The Plate is the place!! We came for brunch and had the best time! The food we ordered was all very delicious and looked great too (bonus points) The drinks were also very good, we got mimosas and Bloody Mary's. The staff was really good about filling the water and coffee. I would definitely recommend this place for all crowds. There was an area more for families and then a bit more lively side by the bar. I can't wait to get back to try more things from the menu. We all got meals and then ordered the Oreo French Toast to share and it was the second best decision after picking this spot for brunch. read more

We met here for Family Brunch. I was excited to see the busy parking lot. The restaurant was very sleek looking with modern decorating and a not too loud dining area. We had a short wait for six guests. The waitress was attentive the whole time. She listened while taking our orders and everything came out right. As we often do, the hubs and I ordered the same thing. Both of us were tempted by the Pulled Pork Hash. We were the only ones disappointed by our meals. The portion was way too small for my husband and was only served with one piece of toast. More disappointing, was the lack of pulled pork. Normally, I would use the word ratio, but there was literally no pork in our portions. We both had 2-3 tiny threads of meat. This was the worst hash I have ever had. Granted we got there after 10am, but the meal should've been 86'd if they had run out of pork. That being said, the standard corned beef hash and potatoes was on point for our son, the omelettes looked filling and the huevos rancheros were reported to be good. Would I come back? Maybe is my only response. read more

Well ok!! This place rocks it on a few levels. First off the vegan options are stupendous. I got the vegan breakfast quesadilla. So flavorful and plenty of filling with guacamole and fresh salsa.

Came here for mother's day and it was busy! A great atmosphere and a great menu made the wait worth it. This place is easy to find and near a big parking lot, making this a convenient location for dining in. The interior of this restaurant is spacious, and nicely organized. We went on a sunny day, which made the inside look even better as the rays of sun brightened up the restaurant. They also had a live band playing, providing the perfect atmosphere for a fun Mother's Day. Regarding the service, it was excellent. Our server was attentive, and the rest of the staff was friendly and welcoming. It was packed - but our waitress came back frequently and there were no issues. Now to the best part - the food. Have you ever had a deep fried steak? I hadn't either until I came here. It was the chicken fried steak and eggs meal, which was delicious. The potatoes were crisp and tasty. One thing that was missing was the seasoning on the eggs. Compared to the rest of the meal, the eggs seemed pretty bland. Similarly, the biscuits were pretty dry. A light cream sauce or dip could have added wonders! My mother and brother both got omelets, and they had similar comments: The omelet was too cheesy. It was so cheesy that it overwhelmed the rest of the meal. No other concerns from them. As for drinks, I ordered a bubbly lemonade (can't remember the name...Verdi or something) and it was great. Refreshing and you could barely taste the alcohol. If that drink tasted that good, I only imagine the other drinks are up to par. With some slight adjustments in seasoning and spice (and maybe sauces?) to the meals, this place definitely has the potential for 5 stars. I would definitely come back to eat here. Hopefully, the improvements come and the stars go up! read more

I like the creative menu and the cute atmosphere for a diner/cafe restaurant! They can get pretty busy but I can see why! The menu consists of your average breakfast menu but also has interesting and creative dishes that sound tasty! The food tastes great and looks even better on the plate. I have yet to try a Bloody Mary but it looks really good! The waiters and waitresses can get pretty hectic as they look busy trying to serve multiple tables at once. During busy hours, don't expect to see your waiter after you get your food and make sure you ask for extra napkins, straws, utensils or whatever you need before your food comes out. I feel bad because they look really busy but in the end the customer should feel satisfied. I do want to note, I ordered "fresh squeezed orange juice" and watched the waiter pour orange juice out of a carton like Tropicana lol. read more
