What a wonderful dinner we had at Plate last week. The food was outstanding ; the salmon was cooked to perfection, and the tostada appetizer was so flavorful. We had wonderful mojitos, made with less alcohol as requested. The service was very good and the ambience was great. Would highly recommend for a great meal, and a cool vibe.

Plate is an extraordinary restaurant on the main street in Stowe, Vermont. We knew the place was fully booked for dinner and decided to try for a place at the bar. Luck was on our side and two people left the bar just as we arrived. The two female bartenders were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. They encouraged us to take our time and not to rush to make selections. The chef came out to deliver our food. He was also very friendly and boy, is he talented! The food was superb. I've been a vegetarian for over 40 years and this was the best veggie burger I've ever had. The salads were unique, delicious and huge. We've been visiting this area for decades and Plate is by far the best restaurant we've encountered in Vermont. For dessert, my husband ordered a heavenly banana pudding, which came in a Bell Jar that we were told could be brought home if the dessert was not finished. The restaurant is also very beautiful. Go and enjoy!

Small gem of a restaurant provided fabulous dining experience. Recommended by a family member we got an early reservation, but didn’t know what to expect. Result: best Stowe dinner of the week. Both our meals were superb! Both food and service excellent. My wife had haddock and I enjoyed the scallop dish. Ended our feast with bananas Foster. We both agree that Plate may well offer the best dining experience currently in Stowe.

Plate came highly recommended by locals and tourists alike so it was an easy decision to reserve a table for two during one of our three nights in Stowe. Upon arrival our table was ready but it appears no one else was. We sat and waited a good 15-20 minutes before we summoned a hostess to send us our server. Seth arrived promptly and apologized for the wait. Seth is a well known waiter in the area and does they best he can with a clear lack of support around him. I counted one waiter and 1 waitress on the floor during our time at Plate. There are three young hostess’ that help run food from the kitchen but the chefs are SLOW so there isn’t much running to be had. No sight of a manager or owner in the place. My wife had the fettuccine which was well cooked but the rest of the dish was very salty. I had the bar steak for $6 more than Harrison’s NY Sirloin and it was over-cooked. It was an overall letdown and we will not be back.

Friday evening we wait over an hour for two small hamburgers 4 pieces of wedges , they forgot the sautéed onions. One very small liquor, and a small glass of beer. We paid for that 90 dollars. It was very hot and the waiters told us that they put The air conditioning to the direction of the kitchen Not for the costumers. To make long story short it was bad.

We needed to wait more than hour for the first dish which you need a microscope to see the tuna tartare. The burger was so small and dray, the side dish was a tsp of vegetable and the prices are so high and not worth the cooking and what you got. When I asked the waiter about the AC she told us that the air condition is facing the open kitchen.. the drinks were minimalistic but the price was high! The only good thing was the jaz musicians. Other wise; don’t go there!

We had high expectations for The Plate based on previous reviews. They did honor our reservation right on time but we sat down to really blaring and not very good background music. Prices made our eyes pop and we live near New York City and eat there often. We ordered a scallop starter to share..but only 2 scallops, not creatively prepared for $17? My husband had the burger, only ok and the bun was very dry but my stuffed acorn squash entree was inedible. In truth when I showed the waitress the hard under cooked, rock of a squash and dried filling in it, she asked the kitchen to not charge me, which was great. But I left hungry and annoyed by the loud music and my husband felt ripped off by an overpriced burger.. no French fries or extras either! A bit more value for the money and a little more attention to the details of what’s coming out of the kitchen would make this a much better restaurant.

It's a small restaurant that had erratic service the night we visited. It took a long time to get served. The food was good but the portions were quite small for the price. (something I've never mentioned before). The lobster fritters had no lobster (I guess the sauce is where it was), the cod was very salty and there were almost no roasted vegetables. The sauce, however, was very tasty. We ordered the bread and it was delicious.

How a chef doesn’t know how to grill a steak is baffling. The steak was over cooked and almost cold—not sure how you achieve that. And not a cake, pie, or anything chocolate on the dessert menu. In defense, the other guests enjoyed their meal but stay away from the steak.

We made reservations and we were seated promptly. Its fairly small and was very loud inside even without being full. They also had club like music thumping away in the background. It was too much for a small restaurant. We tried the Mussels app but the mussels were tiny and the portion small. $18 Also we tried the Brine chicken wings and they were undercooked. $16 Next we tried the Squash Curry, it was flavorful but a small portion for $24 We also tried the Salmon entrée, which was alright but again expensive $34 I'm not sure we would return, there are lots of other good options around.

Most enjoyable and delicious dinner. Our server, Seth, was outstanding, as was the bartender. Ordered the halibut with farro and spinach. This was the best combination of flavors, and no one element overwhelmed the other. The banana pudding was light and silky. The ceiling has sound softening panels which means we could have conversation without shouting. This is a rarity in restaurants. It was an overall A+. Fine dining without the pretense. Just wish we lived closer to frequent Plate.

Had a great meal and you cannot beat the location right on Main Street in Stowe. Lots of people came in trying to get a table while we were there, but they were booked. My quibble is that they're pumping incredibly loud music adding to the din of the very crowded restaurant. I was actually hoarse leaving the restaurant from trying to be heard in our small party. We mentioned this to the server and he said "I know, it's so loud that people have to shout at each other, which adds to the noise, but that's the way we roll". One of the people I was with said that there's research that shows that a loud environment leads to more sales of beverages. Obviously, I have no way to know if that's the idea, but it didn't work with us if it is because we got out of there as soon as we were done. I'd go back, but not on a busy night.

This was our fourth visit to Plate over the past many years. The staff is still as friendly as ever, but the food was not as good as in the past. Notably, the portion size of my main course (the squash) was tiny. If you scooped out the filling, it was equivalent to maybe a small scoop of ice cream. I found only one cranberry and a tiny piece of chanterelle, the two items listed in the description, and the rest was squash and quinoa. $29. For an appetizer-sized portion. I was so hungry after dinner that I went back to the ski condo and ate a Belgian waffle, a bag of popcorn and a box of raisins. Disappointing. My son enjoyed his steak but also found the portion to be small. My husband’s veggie burger was just ok.

Maybe we just chose poorly from the menu or perhaps they were having a bad night, or maybe its just not so good. 2 of 3 Starters were just plain meritless, a ridiculously expensive and sad $7 bread basket and an $11 roasted cauliflower that wasn’t roasted and had nothing to it in terms of flavor. The fried oysters were okay. Main dishes were passable sort of but not really at $30 a piece. Mediocre portions that were just okay. We had one salad that was okay but also weak on flavor. Chocolate cake was great but our coffees were served warm not hot, ending on a rather sad note for an item that’s not that hard to make right. Also, we read after dining that one of the signatures of the place is some fancy sea salt that we never received. All in all, we wouldn’t suggest going here except for dessert and even then, why bother?

We had a stellar experience at Plate. We were able to get seats at the bar and the bar staff were super friendly and fun. They had cans of the local beer and the wine bottle preserving apparatus so you can have a glass of a higher end bottle. We were happy with our beer and wine and the cocktails looked delicious, definitely pros at the bar making them. Our food was outstanding. I had the scallops appetizer, it was perfect and just the right size for one person. My partner had the gazpacho, he said best he ever had. Also the burger was the best he ever had and that’s saying something as we estimated he has eaten 2000+ burgers over his life. I had the pork, which was also just right and very delicious. Finished it off with the chocolate donuts, I’m not a big dessert person but these were really good. We would absolutely go back and either sit at the bar again or make a table reservation. Great service, atmosphere, food and drinks, amazing all around.
