| "Needs a menu change " |

January 2008 - I love the decor of the Blue Plate Diner, art work, music ect. I feel very comfortable and welcome there. The decor makes you feel relaxed. I found the service very shoddy. I was very supprised to see that the menu had not changed much in three years. The place was not busy but it seemed to take forever to get our food. When the food finaly came out it was luke warm, we were too hungry to send it back. The food was below average for the high prices and small portions. $15 for a hamburger? What is that all about? I would not return.

January 2008 - I have been to the Blue Plate Diner on a regular basis over the last few years, mostly because of its close proximity to where I live and work. I have to finally admit to myself that it is not worth even the minimal effort of a 3 block walk. The service is inconsistent- brunch service (if you sit in the right section) is great, but the service at lunch and in the evening can be dreadful.
The food is slow, cold, burnt, or simply prepared incorrectly, on a regular basis. The prices (yes, $15 for a hamburger, although that is a great hamburger) are particularly incomprehensible on the dinner menu, for the portion and quality you receive. And, as someone else has already mentioned, the menu has been the same for a long time. Actually, they just recently "changed" it. Unfortunately they only slightly adjusted most of the items that were already there.
All in all, you can luck out there sometimes and order the right thing, at the right time of day, from the right server, and have a nice experience. The odds are somewhat stacked against you though, sadly.

November 2007 - We went for Sunday brunch and were very impressed with everything at this trendy, retro, cozy little diner. It was busy (always a good sign), but the wait was under 10 minutes for a table. The decor is fantastic, I love the mis-matching coffee mugs from the 1970's and the tables and chairs that don't match. Art work (I assume local) decorates the walls, and each table has a different lamp on it. The service was phenomenal, especially for how busy it was, and the food was out to our table very quickly. We tried the Florentine Eggs Benny and the Breakfast Burrito. Both were fantastic. The burrito was very fresh, with what tasted like home-made salsa on the side. And the benny was tasy, if not just a little cold. Overall, this is a great place, and we can't wait to try it for dinner.
