    Chicken and waffles! Yum!!!

    I had to give this place another try! The ube pancakes were really good--fluffy, flavorful, and such a fun twist on a classic. The chicken and waffles were also delicious, with a great balance of sweet and savory. The owners are super nice and you can tell they genuinely care about their restaurant and are trying their best to make every guest's experience a good one. This is a new restaurant, so I think it's important to give them a chance and show them some love while they're getting established. Every new local business deserves an opportunity to grow and find its footing. Definitely stop by, try the food, and support this new spot in Petaluma!

    Veggie omelette and ube pancakes

    I don't write many reviews, so a place has to be either unbelievably divine or a bottom of the barrel experience. Sadly Blue Plate is the latter. This is only their second week of being open. Maybe there is a chance of redemption? I'll start with the good. My fiancé and I were seated very quickly. The restaurant wasn't super jammed up because it was still somewhat early on a Sunday morning (8am). Our server quickly took and brought out our drink order which consisted of just water and coffee. That's pretty much where the good comments end. Now onto the bad.... After our server took our drink order the family having breakfast next to us noticed they had dirty cups. That made us look and inspect our coffee mugs; which indeed had stains, some specks, and not as clean as you would expect from a young 2 week old diner. Oh well.... We've seen worse we thought. Then we noticed a seperate table asked for another plate because theirs was dirty. From where we were sitting, I could see into the kitchen. I watched the server grab another plate, inspect it, wipe it off with her hand, and then put it back in the stack of plates to grab a different one. That new plate she grabbed was wiped off with a towel and served to the table. Dirty cups and dirty plates were the first warning signs. Now onto the food.... My fiancé ordered a veggie omelette with fruit and a half of a waffle. I ordered the ube pancakes with a side of sausage links. I'll start with the pancakes. They were mediocre. No defining ube flavor (the ube pancakes or waffles at two niner diner absolutely slap and that's what I'm comparing them too). Basically regular pancakes served with no butter. The sausage was also mid tier. Lukewarm kind of like they had been sitting under a heat lamp instead of being served right off the griddle. Next up, the veggie omelette served with a half waffle, and a side of fruit. It's sad that the fruit was the best part. Waffle was edible but also lukewarm and barely hot. However the omelette was shameful. I don't think I've ever seen my fiancé not finish a plate of breakfast. The omelette was swimming in a combination of oils and water from cooking down the veggies. Taste was edible. His omelette was borderline cold and the vegetables had no flavor. The only taste was a combination of the slimy oil coating the zucchini and spinach mixed with some cholula hot sauce that was added. Overall it will be hard to come back here. We left with a check totaling $54 for... 1. Veggie Omelette $16.95 2. Ube pancakes $16.50 3. Qty 2 coffees $4.25 each 4. Qty 4 sausage links $7.25 Not the best price but not bad if the food was actually tasty. 2 thumbs down.

    Low quality slops. Server was clueless like it's his first day on the job. Portions were also pretty small for the price.

They have a lot of great options on the menu, but my cousin recommended getting either a sandwich or breakfast burrito as him and his wife had already come here before and said they were really good. I opted for a sausage breakfast burrito and a guava mimosa. Drinks came quickly which was good to hold us over while we waited on our food. It was pretty busy. Burrito was a good size and came with sour cream and salsa on the side. Not as seasoned as I would have liked inside the burrito so I'm glad there were condiments. Hot sauce and ketchup along with other condiments are on the table already. My other cousin ordered the chilaquiles. Big portion. Lots of meat and he pretty much ate all of it lol the burrito was big so I could only finish half. Burrito wasn't bad but I wish I would've gotten the sandwich instead. It looked really good! Restaurant was a good size, clean, spacious and servers were nice and attentive. I would definitely come back to try other food on the menu.

It's a bit noisy inside due to the small room but tolerable, they also have some tables set up outside which is great for people watching. Sadly the Egg Benedict was sold out by the time we went at about 12pm. We got Croissant egg sandwich and ménage a trois (with buttermilk pancake and sausage), house orange juice and salted caramel latte. Food was delicious, and the perfect portion: the croissant sandwich was light, fresh and had the perfect amount of seasoning. The buttermilk pancake literally melts in your mouth. Orange juice is with pulp and sweet. And the coffee was a warm/hot with the perfect amount of sweetness with no burnt taste. Will definitely try to go earlier for the Egg Benedict and try their other bakery items.

Steve: "Those were chickens?" Sam Shepard would've had a field day here. Some newer buildings made to look old with crafted Styrofoam façades. You get the feeling you're on a movie set, which it has been on several occasions. I lived here for a number of years, a bit of a Peyton Place aura. Nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more. Some of my favorite people I've met in the last 30 years hale from here. And, a disappropriated amount have left this earth too soon. One of the best foodie destinations north of the Golden Gate Bridge. Superb coffee shops and bakeries, some award-winning. So, back in 1999 I took a wrong turn off the freeway and discovered Petaluma and the first place I went was the "Tea Room" and it's still pretty much as awesome as it was then. A real nice vibe, nicely decorated with some incredible pastries to include the orange cranberry scone as I recall, sold out today. My breakfast today was quite good with the walnut toast, and a huge portion of very large potatoes that could've been cut into smaller pieces and maybe I only needed one third of the portion. Dem tatters were 'nuff for four people. Great atmosphere, nice friendly staff, and a very pleasant ambience. There's mirrored signage that says TEA mounted high on the wall across from one another so as to appear as if it were a reflection. I personally can also see the word EAT in there every time I glance at it. I was told years ago that it came from an old Texaco gas station sign. It makes sense, check it out. On Western Avenue. I used to tell folks it's across from the pink Catholic Church rectory. That's been painted to a rather unattractive conservation brown. A lot of nice outdoor seating and cool shops nearby, check out next-door thrift shop and the ever remarkable Petaluma market around the corner, with superb produce display! Famous for cheese, wine, cider, breweries and happy cows! If you're coming from the south cut over through Fairfax to Olema and take the back road up to Petaluma which is a stunning drive!

The seasonal menu's offerings were ideal for a rainy April day, when their cassoulet, bocadillo and other cozy options provided the comfort food we were craving. I loved the colorful tables and tasteful decor. It was clearly a regular lunch destination for many of the diners. The bar was packed during the rush, around noon, as well as the other indoor seats. My lunch friend mentioned that the restaurant is owned and operated by a husband and wife team: Annette and Brian. The regulars were greeted with familiarity. It wasn't the kind of place where you're rushed for your order, nor is it a dine and dash location. The menu - both food and drink - has tantalizing options, so it's best to come back repeatedly. My Turkish Coffee arrived quickly after I ordered it, despite Annette being the only server on the floor. I enjoyed the Bocadillo too, especially the pickled vegetables that accompany the sandwich. For those complaining that the portions were small or that the prices were high, the quality of ingredients and depth of flavor are worth the cost and my portion was more than enough to satisfy my appetite, plus I left with the other half of my sandwich as an offering for my hungry twenty-something at home. We ordered a rice pudding for dessert and dug in before I was able to snap a picture! It was delicious though, with the poached blueberries and almonds offering an ideal balance of texture and flavor to earn this simple dessert my esteem. Next time I want to try the beet & sour cream cake though!

When we got there, even though it said they were open, they were definitely closed and no one was there.

Needless to say, we were the only ones in the restaurant. I ordered the chili relleno omelette and he ordered the country hash benedict. I expected that the food would take a while because the restaurant was opening from a cold start, but weirdly enough our food was out really fast. I was a little bit off put by this but we tucked into our food anyway to give them a fair shot. My omelette was extremely bland and so were my potatoes. It came with salsa and desperately needed every drop. Hubby felt the same way about his breakfast, heavy and very bland... and ultimately we ended up taking everything to go and feeding it to our chickens. I felt like the price was really high for the low quality and the food flavor was really mediocre. Such a shame too because this is such a great location.... The old pongos? But unless they meet their quality with the price, I can't see this being very successful.
