Delicious! Just moved to the area and had to try this spot because of the reviews. The first time we came really late and they were full but still squeezed us on the patio with a front row seat to watch the World Cup. The service wasn't great and almost half the menu was sold out but the food was still great. The second time we came, we went earlier and made a reservation. Service was excellent, food was great, and were able to sit on the patio again. Pricing is a little high but very reasonable. Apps are about $15-20, entrees range from $25-60. So far we've tried the cheese board, caprese, Mediterranean salad, steak frites, short ribs, and pork chop. All amazing! read more

Food was tasty! Several gluten free options. Server was great about checking with the kitchen to confirm if items were gluten free.

Went for the tea service and it was one of the best ones around - Boston included ! Laurel was our server and was absolutely great! Friendly, happy, attentive but not overly, no matter what was asked she always had a smile and happy to get whatever you need. The food was really tasty plenty of it, walked out stuffed. The room is really nice, quite while we were there and it was mostly full, tables spaced nicely not to close so yuh have space, you don't feel like your sitting with the people next to or behind you. They have a really large patio as well. Highly recommended. Must try for your afternoon tea spots. read more

I've been to a few afternoon teas before, and this has been my favorite by far. It's appropriately high end without either trying too hard or being snobby. Afternoon service took about 3 hours total. When we arrived there was a sign on the door saying "closed for private event" which led to some confusion, but it turned out they'd just maxed out their reservations. The food was incredible. I have a dairy allergy and they were able to customize the prefix menu around my restrictions. I believe they serve Harney teas. They use loose leaf blends and provide strainers to filter the leaves as part of the experience. The dark chocolate croissant was my favorite of the pastries - possibly the best croissant I've ever had - and the salmon with pickled onions and capers was my favorite of the tea sandwiches. read more

A great little place. Really good food and a great staff. Cozy inside and pleasant patio outside. Good drinks and wine list.

I tried this place for lunch recently and had an issue with the experience. I relayed this via their website and received a nice response from the owner which more than made up for the incident, which was beyond her control. The food was delicious and the atmosphere lovely. I look forward to going again soon. read more

My husband and I sat at their quaint bar (5 bar stools) and Spencer, the bartender was friendly & efficient. He brought us water without our asking and chilled two glasses for our beer. I think the lights above the bar though could be dimmed more. Delicious bread with 3 different spreads also arrived (complimentary). There was an olive oil & hot pepper, whipped feta & honey and tapenade (crushed olives). All 3 were yummy! We started with the crab cake appetizer (2 crab cakes) that were flavorsome.We shared two entrees: Steak tips with French fries and short ribs with mashed potatoes and roasted carrots. Both entrees were hearty and savory and reasonably priced. And hand delivered by the chef himself! He was cordial and appreciative for our choosing his restaurant for our "date night"! I also had a glass of Merlot that was fairly priced at $10. There is ample free parking. Overall, our dining experience at Plat Du Jour Bistro was wonderful and we'll definitely be back. read more

A hidden gem. Plat du Jour has a small 6 seat bar and TV to enjoy a great meal and a watch your local team. We found the staff is knowledgeable, friendly and prompt. The food was excellent. French onion soup. Wedge salad. Salmon dish. All on spot. Highly recommended. read more

We hosted a bridal shower brunch in June, and it couldn't have been more perfect. Tara, owner/manager, and her husband, owner/chef, were truly wonderful to work with. The setting is beautiful, and our guests couldn't stop raving about the food and ambience. It was an enjoyable day for everyone. The staff members in charge that day were gracious, making everything run seamlessly. You simply cannot find a better spot on the North Shore to celebrate a special occasion. Ali & Marcia read more

We highly recommend Plat Du Jour! The food is fabulous, the staff and the owners are very attentive and the bartender (Spencer) makes the best cocktails we have had! (We love his old fashion). Encourage you to go! read more

Don't waste your time and money. The chef is out of touch with what food is seasonally appropriate and palatable despite a previously agreed upon menu. Tea service is horrendous - tea is served and then much later the sweet and savory tea tower is delivered. By then the tea was cold. I could eat all of the sweets on a tea tower myself but this one was awful - tried every sweet (and savory) item and didn't finish one fully. For $55 it's definitely not worth the price read more

First, Laurel, our server was Awsome. Explained questions like a seasoned veteran. Second. Food was outstanding. I had Scallops and asparagus risotto, spot on. My wife had the steak, perfect medium. This place is a Gem. Again thanks to Laurel. Made my Wife's Birthday wonderful. read more

Finally made it here! Chef Patrick Lord has an amazing mouthwatering menu and incredible team of hospitality professionals. We had the octopus app, coq au vin and the beef Wellington which is only served on Saturdays. Don't pass it up! And finished with the most decadent chocolate mousse. Our server Laurel is fantastic and we had a wonderful time! Thank you chef and we'll be back! read more

We arrived at 2:30 on Saturday, which is the start of Afternoon Tea service. There were people still eating lunch, and a few others came in the door directly behind us for tea. The hostess said that everyone was coming in at once, but that's because that's the start time. She was super nice and took us to a lovely window table for two, left us with menus and said our server would be over when we chosen our type of tea. No one came. Eventually, she came back and asked if anyone had been over. Nope. She took our tea orders, which means just choosing the type of tea you want. Everything else comes as is. She was knowledgeable about the different varieties and we each enjoyed the tea we ordered. But the food: Oddly, as if the chef has never experienced Afternoon Tea, the first course was a small baby greens salad with a pleasant dressing and a little bowl of soup that seemed to be Italian wedding soup, with wee little meatballs. No one explained what it was, but it was tasty. It's just not what we were there for. Next came the traditional three-tiered tower of the tea service. We started on the lowest level with the "savories," the obligatory cucumber sandwich triangle. Love a good cuke sammy. But the bread. Good Lord, the bread. It was as if they went out of their way to air dry it for a few hours. It was stale as desert dust. Thank goodness we had water and tea. The next savory were little quiches. They were fine. Then what might have been thick cubes of cornbread sandwiching the turkey cranberry salad. One bite and we both removed the top layer of more desert dry bread. I was shooting crumbs across the pretty white tablecloth. Lastly for the savories, there were toast points with smoked salmon, pickled onion, and capers. These were fine because ... toast. And this chef knows how to make dry bread, so toast was right up his or her alley. Next two tiers were all ... tan. Nothing like a little strawberry to break up the chunky scones, the almond croissants, and the second pieces of chunky scones. There was a little plate of condiments with the clotted cream, lemon curd, unidentifiable jam, and then a little sealed jar of marmalade. My parents are British, and we spent many happy years all over the U.K. I don't think I've ever had such tasteless clotted cream. It certainly wasn't the cherished Devonshire cream. It was served, perhaps, too cold, since it was crumbly instead of spreadable. Our hostess returned to give us more hot water for our teapots. Then no one came again. We left half the scones and the croissants so we had room to make it to the top tier. Previously, there were chocolates and even a little cup each of chocolate mousse. Not any longer. More tan-colored food with small triangles of pale lemon bars, which tasted the same as the lemon curd, and two macarons. One pistachio, one lemon. Since my daughter is not a lemon fan, she had the pistachio macaron. Then a male server finally came over, and asked if we wanted boxes for our leftovers. We did since we each had a croissant, a lemon square, and a piece of scone left. He picked up our plates, by which we understood he was going to box it up for us. Then we asked him what the jam was. He had no idea! He said he would ask someone. Oddly, as if suffering from memory loss, he never asked anyone. But he did see fit to put the pieces of dry cornbread in our boxes. That gave us a laugh. He also brought the bill. $55 each as we knew ahead of time. So thumbs up on the tea, but a thumbs down on the food. Dodgy. And it would be so easy to get it right. A few sausage rolls (which is sausage in pastry), the cucumber sandwiches but with FRESH, soft bread. The little quiche were fine if unimaginative. Keep the smoked salmon as it elevates the whole thing. But some color. A few strawberries, custard tarts, one or two delectable chocolates, a traditional cream bun and yes, a scone with good clotted cream and strawberry jam. After we paid and my daughter went to the restroom, I said to the hostess that it was a shame not to have any chocolates or the mousse anymore. She said, Well, there's so much. True, but not the right stuff. I told her my daughter wasn't a citrus fan, so that let out the lemon macaron, the lemon bars, and the lemon curd and marmalade. Honestly, I've never had an afternoon tea that didn't have strawberry jam, fresh strawberries, or a strawberry tart. The kind hostess said she wished we'd have told her as they have the mousse. I don't know how we would have known to tell her since we weren't told what we were getting ahead of time, nor did we have a server to check on us. But she offered to get my daughter some mousse to take home, which was very kind of her. Would have very much liked a cup of that myself, but that was a bridge too far to ask. Croissants? At an afternoon tea service? I guess if you think Italian meatball soup is appropriate. But dry bread is inexcusable. read more
