We came for the grand opening celebration this weekend and were quite pleased with the delicious food and comfortable atmosphere at Plate and Bowl. There is a bit of an Asian fusion flare to each of their bowls, and the Quinoa Black Bean Bowl that I ordered was a hearty feast! The quinoa was sitting in a bath of extra broth at the base of the bowl, which at first I was taken aback to see, but once I tasted it and blended the other veggies with it, I was glad to have that extra liquid to soak up the rich Asian and umami flavors. The pricing is great for the size of the large bowls, which can be single meals or split with a friend for those less hungry.
We will definitely be coming back and are eager to have this in our neighborhood! It was fun to enjoy the comedy show downstairs and support the local artists so we hope there will be future events like these to showcase the neighborhood's talent!
Pro tip: it is BYOB but they will charge a corking fee (I think it's $1/person who requests a glass) so it is not truly free to bring in your own alcohol.
