Plate

Decided to return here for another go and I'm glad I went ! PLATE has truly stepped up their game, delivering an even better dining experience across the board. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels more inviting and polished, making it a great spot for both casual dinners and special occasions.One of the most noticeable improvements is the service. The staff is more attentive, knowledgeable, and engaged. . Whether it's recommendations on new menu items or perfectly timed service, they've elevated the overall experience.we had Hannah as our server and she was wonderful ! Suggested different things on the menu . The biggest highlight, though, is the seafood. PLATE has really embraced variety, consistently updating their seafood offerings to keep things fresh and exciting. Their rotating selections ensure there's always something new to try, from creative takes on classic dishes to bold, flavorful combinations that showcase their commitment to quality ingredients.It's clear that PLATE is putting in the effort to refine its menu, atmosphere, and service, making it a must-visit in Prior Lake. If you haven't been in a while, now is the time to check it out! Especially during restaurant week $45 for three course meal with your drink. Worth it !! Must go and try it out !!

I'm running to Yelp to leave a review primarily because everyone at PLate is SO friendly. Like, I actually can't wrap my head around it. Not sure if I'd had a particularly rough week with people or what but it was really refreshing.The seafood pasta is so so good. Huge, perfectly cook shrimp with clams, mussels, scallop. It's not cheap but it's worth it.

An absolute must south if the river! A great happy hour including their signature Old Fashioned! The steak bites are a must!! Parking can be sketchy. Fantastic food and always great service. Walking distance to other bars as well for a fun night in downtown PL.

We live in Prior Lake, near Plate and do go there quite often. The staff is very friendly and make an effort to remember you. Most of them have been there a long time.They have a great happy hour menu that includes both food and drinks. Happy hour timing works perfect with our schedule and appetites. The menu offers a good diverse selection on items. The regular menu is a bit spendy, but is very good. The food is always fresh and hot. The happy hour is only in the bar area, which can get quite crowded. I would highly recommend reservations for both the bar and restaurant seating. The bar area is not very big and fills up quickly. They recently opened up the bar rail for first come basis. The also have a combination of high tops and low tables that you can make reservations for. I find the decor/atmosphere to be inviting, it is simple, a bit modern and open. It can get a tad loud in the bar area at times, but not too a point where it was a bother.They offer dinner (Date Night Menu, Two for $40 Meal, etc.) and drink specials. We are not hard liquor drinkers, but they appear to have a great selection, especially whisky.They recently started to have live music on Thursdays in the restaurant. We were in there last night and the guy was very good, unfortunately it was a bit hard to hear him in the bar area, which is understandable. If you want to go for the live music, sit in the restaurant.

Food 4/5 - This restaurant is one of the "nicer" restaurants in Prior Lake and I was pleasantly surprised. Overall the food was great! The salads had fresh ingredients and meat was cooked how it was asked. Only complaint is the Brussel sprouts were just okay to me but everything else was great.Service / Ambiance 4/5 - Overall the space was clean and inviting. Service/staff were welcoming and talkative. *Prices reflect a higher end restaurant

We had been given a gift card to try out Plate, so we swung on down to check this place out! Parking was a bit tricky, as we went during the busy Friday evening rush! Give yourself some extra time to find a spot. The interior of the space is nice: clean, cozy, modern. To be honest though, the interior didn't match the experience or the menu. Service was fine, but could tell our server was a bit overwhelmed during the Friday dinner service and didn't provide a very personal experience. It was loud and there was a hint of chaotic energy throughout. The food was meh...I feel like the menu was a bit of an identity crisis with Prior Lake prices. American steakhouse, with globally-inspired seafood dishes, finished with tacos? We ordered the seafood chowder, chicken sandwich, and dip sandwich. The seafood chowder was lovely and highlight of the meal. Chicken sandwich was weird...I personally didn't feel that adding asparagus to a chicken sandwich was a good choice and it missed a sauce that bonded and provided a spark. The dip sandwich was just meat and bread, and would have benefited from cheese or really any other flavor generator. French fries were tasty, but generic. Restaurant location allows for the pricetag, not the execution or the experience. Probably wouldn't return.

The food was very good and came out in a timely manner,The atmosphere of the restaurant was really nice and was welcoming to all sorts of occasions.The staff were very friendly and courteous, and they helped make our evening great!

Great food, great service, high prices and very noisy. Make reservations and, unless you enjoy the bar scene, request seating in the back corner of the dining room.

Happy hour here is one of our favorites. Dinner is always excellent and the cocktails are outstanding. Service is superior. Looking forward to the new patio!

Sitting at an outdoor fire pit with a number of my dates friends sipping on an Old fashion for some additional warmth. The name of this restaurant was thrown out there . I'm kind of a foodie but, I'd never heard of it before. From the conversation very high quality food, excellent menu choices and definitely an evening of fine dining.Next time I have a special occasion, I'll be there .GP
