• Contemporary American • Bernal Heights

Booked 5 times today

The Blue Plate opened in 1999 as a casual spot where friends and neighbors can enjoy the best ingredients our seasons have to offer. Owners Cory Obenour and Jeff Trenam have created a space that feels like a home, with three distinct dining rooms each appointed with the work of local artists. In the back, a lush, night-fragrant garden offers an exotic retreat from the bustle of the city. The kitchen stays committed to using the highest quality local produce and meats in classic American and rustic Mediterranean dishes. Through a working friendship with Bay Area farmers, the Blue Plate is expanding the notion of "the blue plate special" to include dining that is casual, affordable, delicious and responsible.

It was a little cold and loud inside. Would be nice to add more carpets to make it warmer and cozier and curtains to block the cold. The crunchy pita bread for dips was delicious but also parts of it were very hard even for break with teeth or knife.
