50 Plates = Outstanding Service and Good Food
by millevag
My wife and I dined at 50 Plates on a Friday night. We had impeccable service from our waiter, Chad. He was professional, knowledgeable, and fast. Our food overall was good. I was not a fan of the chili that I ordered: it tasted like a can of chili on overcooked spaghetti. I guess I should have gone with the recommended halibut. My wife's scallops dish was absolutely outstanding, however, which was what the waiter recommended as one of the best dishes.
We will definitely be back to 50 Plates.
- Pros: Service
- Cons: Some dishes a little mediocre

nice place, unique menu
by wanderlust10
This is a fun place to go. They food is generally pretty good, a little over priced. The menu has a lot of funky things on it so its not a good place for picky eaters.
- Pros: great atmosphere
- Cons: menu isn't good for picky eaters
