Don't be discouraged by the 'comfort' label - this is truly the 'haute cuisine' of comfort foods. Some portions are large, but the taste is exceptional....favorites are the mac & cheese and the meatloaf, which are staples on the menu. The blue cream soda is unique!........Can be crowded, but great food. Also *lots* of fabulous (and cheaper) places near by if you don't want to wait!..........could be the best restaurant in SF, bar none. Food Service inventiveness and especially the overall vibe

The Blue Plate opened in 1999. Envisioned was a casual neighborhood spot where friends and neighbors could enjoy the best ingredients our seasons have to offer. The kitchen is committed to using the highest quality local produce and meats in their classic American and rustic Mediteranean dishes.
