While the ambiance of the restaurant was pleasant, unfortunately, the dining experience fell short due to below-average service and food lacking in seasoning and flavor. While catchy and enticing menu food item titles were abundant, the presentation and overall taste was frankly lackluster. The waitstaff seemed preoccupied and inattentive, resulting in miscommunication of the customers’ needs. As stated, the dishes lacked flavor and could have benefited greatly from more seasoning or love. Overall, while the potential was there, the execution left much to be desired.

Plate 38 was the perfect place to meet family for a Sunday Brunch. The drinks were delicious for all of us, the food, was okay. We had a side of fries which the whole table really enjoyed, the Turkey Sandwich, which was mediocre, the Chilaquiles were also just mediocre, the lox bagel was great, my husband thoroughly enjoyed it, and my Garden Salad was also delicious. The service could have been a bit better, when we arrive there were only a few tables seated and it took about 10 min to get our drink orders in.

This is about the 10th time I have eaten at this restaurant and it NEVER disappoints. It is consistently excellent with a very extensive menu. You cannnot go wrong at this place. We drive 45 minutes to eat there and it is definitely worth it.

Quite a funny fancy place that is actually not that great. Took forever to have an hamburger that was ok. Fries where still oily and service was kind of OK but not great.
