The food really seemed like the food created by an inexperienced first-year culinary school student. The chef really needs more experience. What I mean by this is that chefs need to learn the basics of cooking before trying to get creative. When they do not, they fall flat. One person at our table had the Plae seafood special. It tasted... more

This fine restaurant would have been perfect for us, but for a major disappointment from the kitchen. The first item we ordered, we were told, was no longer available at the restaurant, and one of the appetizers on the menu had been eliminated, as well. The pistachio encrusted lamb sounded interesting after our server explained the dijon sauce's effect on... more

After reading mixed reviews we gave PLAE a shot and so happy we did. We had great service and some awesome food which included, a calimari appetizer, Asian shrimp main dish and a wonderful pork special (best I ever had). Mood in the restaurant was quiet, romantic and very relaxing. This will be the first place I go back to... more

This resturant has gone downhill. The quality of food and service has taken a severe decline. My recomendation is based upon several poor experiences over the past few months. I have spoken with a few locals who feel the same about PLAE. Not only was the food poorly prepared but the waiter would not leave us alone for a moment... more

This past Friday (02/20/09) friends and I ate at Plae. It was a busy night so we settled on eating in their lounge. The atmosphere was buzzing but it was great. The food was delicious and our server "Shannon" was even better. Her salesmanship was great and her personality was very inviting. I would definitely recommend to anyone going to... more

Had heard and read good things about PLAE, but husband and I were very disappointed. The restaurant is attractive and the menu was alluring, but the salad was very overdressed, the veal chop was only ok (and for $48, overpriced for it's size) and the vegetable platter was embarrassing bland (no taste, just grilled vegetables). And to top it off,... more

I recently went to Plae on two occasions. I had to dine alone. Unfortunately my wife could not be there. I had a wonderful server named Shannon. She obviously has a good soul. She knew I had to dine alone yet she made me feel at home. She engaged me in good conversation that was quite humorous at times and... more

My Husband and I were up from Miami visiting relatives a few weeks ago. We have always loved PLAE and we were disapointed that the Gentleman that always waits on us was not there that night.. Instead we had a waitress named Shannon... she was terrible.. she was snippy, unattentive and more interested in joking with her coworkers then she... more

Not impressed. After having the duck recommended by the waiter, I ordered it. It came like I would like yellow fin tuna. Sliced, slightly cooked on the outside edges but red and raw in the middle. I tried it but 'ecoli in fowl' kept running through my mind. I asked the waiter if this was the way it usually came... more

PLAE was recommended to us from several sources including recent TripAdvisor reviews. Here is our experience in a nutshell: 1) classy, en vogue setting 2) good attentive service 3) interesting dishes described on the menu 4) pleasant jazz and overall tasteful music playing BUT UNFORTUNATELY 5) the unremarkable food was served with uninspired presentation, consisted of exceedingly small portions yet... more
