| - For day two of a restaurant, Plate & Bowl was pretty solid. I will probably visit again after a couple of months, but, the concept is great, and the food was pretty solid.
My fiancé and I went around 6:30 pm last night, and there was a steady crowd - seating is available downstairs and upstairs. This is in the old E2 space, and the Renovation is quite nice.
The staff was a little flustered, but natural on day two. There were a lot of servers on the floor, but there seemed to be confusion as to who was doing what. Again, something that will he worked out over time.
We started with the deviled eggs, the eggs were cooked properly, but these were nothing special. No pizazz or wow of flavor. Just average.
My fiancé wanted to try out the bahn mi. The flavor profile was there - the right notes of sweet and sour - but the bread was a little soft for a bahn mi, and the meat was dry. We asked for extra sauce.
The highlight was the couscous bowl. The presentation was gorgeous, the baba ghanosh was smoky, and the vegetables in the bowl were crisp and well flavored. This dish is a winner.
Like I said earlier, not a bad meal for day 2 of a restaurant.
