Plate - Garlic bread - Italian Near Me - Leawood, Kansas

Food and service were great! Had the meatballs and Brussels sprouts and they were the best I have ever had at a restaurant. Waitress was great too. Can't wait to return. read more

So delicious. The garlic bread was my favorite thing but the pappardelle was my favorite pasta! the gnocchi probably would have been the favorite but I wish it was served a bit hotter for my personal taste. Initially when we ordered I wasn't thrilled for the desserts we ordered, bombe and lemonchello cake, but boy was I wrong! Some of the best desserts I've had from a restaurant in a while. Love this place and the chef is the nicest guy! read more

The hostess recognized that it was date night for us and greeted us by name. She was very friendly and helped us find a wonderful table. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable, and he made great suggestions. My wife ordered a Sprite, and he made it look fancy to surprise and slight her. The handmade garlic bread is a must, and the Ceasar salad tasted amazing. The pasta dishes we had were extremely tasty, especially the pappardelle. Our server said we wouldn't be disappointed and we weren't. It was the best pasta I have ever eaten. The Italian old fashioned was prepared very well - although it was not served in a whiskey glass, which bothered me slightly. The dessert was excellent - we had the chocolate mousse which was the perfect consistency and the outer shimmery chocolate shell was the perfect crunch. Great dinner all around. read more

First of all, the ambiance of Plate is exquisite. It's classy, but not over-the-top. Everyone on the staff was pleasant and accommodating. For starters, we ordered focaccia, ricotta bruschetta, and Brussels sprouts. All three were absolutely to die for. The focaccia was soft and savory, the ricotta bruschetta was fresh and creamy, and the Brussels sprouts were cooked to utter crispy perfection. For my main dish I ordered the ahi tuna, one of my favorite dishes. When it was brought out I noticed it looked more cooked than I'm used to (pictured). I tried it and it wasn't tender, so I sent it back and they brought me a new plate that was cooked perfectly. It was flavored so well and unbelievably tender. For dessert we ordered the bomboloni and a special of the night, which was a salted caramel custard. They were both delicious and gone within minutes. We tried both the chocolate martini and the espresso martini - both were quite possibly the best we've ever had. We will undoubtedly be back in the near future. read more

My sister and I went to Plate for a Wednesday dinner and the place was pretty packed, so I'm glad we had a reservation! This was my second time going to Plate - I'd been about a year ago and the food was good but the service was very slow, so I thought it was worth a second chance. We settled on the pasta prix fixe so we could try a lot of different items. We started with the arancini which were so good. Arancini can be really bland in the wrong hands but this was full of flavor - the arancini themselves as well as the sauce and grated cheese they were served with. We both got the moderno salads which seemed really small - I wonder if they size them down for the prix fix? I'll be honest though, I was glad to save room for the rest of the meal! I really liked the cherries and bresaola in the salad, I just wish there'd been more than 2-3 pieces of each! I got the Rigatoni and subbed the shrimp for chicken, which was on the drier side. The vodka sauce had a bit of a kick to it. My sister got the bolognese and this was legit the star of the show - so good, so full of flavor and tender braised beef! The spices and herbs were excellently blended. They were out of the chocolate bombe for dessert so we chose the pistachio cake instead and it was pretty good! The downside to the meal was the slow service, so that hadn't improved since the last time I dined here. Our waiter seemed to be checking on a large party quite a lot and would often walk right by our table without stopping to check in. I think we waited a good 20 minutes after finishing our pasta, just waiting for the dessert menu. It was honestly frustrating. The other staff seemed pretty attentive - our used dishes were promptly picked up and the tables next to us had their waiters stopping by often. read more

What a great date night at Plate. The restaurant has a sleek and modern design with fun lighting and an atmosphere that is perfect for an upscale happy hour. The menu has a collection of tasty dishes with everything from truffle bread , mushroom risotto, gnocchi, and bolognese. We enjoyed the pasta prix fix for two menu which included one antipasto, two salads, two pastas, and a dessert. We started out with the Arancini and it was delicious. They were fried perfectly, the rice inside was cooked well, and the peas were a nice homage to the traditional dish. The best part however was the basil pesto aioli that they sat on and the fresh sage on top. It was a knockout! I ate the pappardelle and it was light and inviting! I had two drinks, one classic cosmopolitan and another was a suggestion from our server, they were both great! Our server was incredibly sweet and even helped me crutch out of the building. I highly recommend Plate and I am already planning my next trip back read more

Plate - Garlic Bread Appetizer - Italian Near Me - Leawood, Kansas

I had a great meal at Plate last week. I was meeting a friend for an early dinner. We got truffle fries for the table, which were INCREDIBLE. My friend got the Caesar salad and I got the gnocchi. The gnocchi had an amazing texture. We also had really good service. Definitely looking forward to going back! read more

Had another outstanding dinner at Plate. The Arancini were crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside. Our server Juan was extremely helpful in choosing a wine. My first choice was a 2019 St. Supery Cabernet. Juan suggested, based on my palate, that I would enjoy the 2019 Justin Isosceles (which is 80% Cabernet Sauvignon) more. I've had the St. Supery before, but I enjoyed the Justin much more. Juan was spot on. The rigatoni and vodka sauce with shrimp was impeccable! May be my favorite dish. And dessert? The tiramisu was incredibly delicious. The consistency of the food and service is remarkable. read more

I would not recommend plate to anyone. The food and service was very poor during my visit and I will not be returning.

We visited Plate for the first time and over all food good. Three things we were disappointed with. 1. Scallops were expensive and they gave you three. Don't order if you're expecting a meal. 2. The restaurant charges a non cash transaction fee for not using cash. This should be disclosed before a person chooses to eat there. 5% of the total bill approximately. 3. The server was in constant upsell mode and removed cocktail glasses before we were finished. 4. I would eat here again but not if I was real hungry. read more

We wanted to try the Leawood location because it's very close to our home but it turned out to be a major disappointment. From now on we will go to the original. 1. The restaurant was insanely loud. We sat in a booth with another couple and toward the end of the meal we were laughing because we couldn't carry on a conversation. 2. Our waitress was either having a bad day or clearly hated her job. Tried to upsell us on everything and got mad when didn't accept her suggestion's. Keep in mind we ordered two appetizers, meals and side salads, along with drinks so I don't understand her outright hostility. 3. Food. Let's start with what worked. Brussels and bread were amazing. My husband's risotto was lovely. I got the pasta special. Soooo salty. Like couldn't eat it salty. It was great to see our friends but we won't be going back to the Leawood location. read more

The food, the atmosphere and staff were AMAZING!!!' I had the eggplant parmesan and it was so good!! The pricing is very fair!

Party of 5 for my son's 21st birthday this past Friday. I made reservations 2 weeks in advance. They sat us at a table for 4 w/ a chair at the end (at 5:15 pm). My husband & younger son ordered filet, both medium well. They came out purple in the center. Waited 15 minutes for kitchen to redo. Caesar salad looked like romaine leaves taken out of the bag & put in a bowl. Sold out of chocolate cake (again, 5:15pm). Very disappointing 21st birthday experience. For the $, there are other places I'd go before going back here. read more

Came here for lunch with a friend. Cannot believe it was a California Pizza kitchen before, it is such a stunning, beautiful space: High end, artistic finishes, fresh flowers. Concerned because it was not busy on a Friday afternoon. We shared the pear & Gorgonzola app, delicious. Lots of arugula on top. I had the unique Moderna salad & added shrimp. Friend had the chicken parm sandwich. Service was wonderful, super friendly and accommodating. They created a mocktail for me, even though there wasn't one on the menu. You can bring back your receipt for free truffle fries at HH, or at brunch for some enormous cinnamon rolls. Will be back. read more

Thoroughly impressed with this place. The service was excellent, the food was delicious, the atmosphere was modern, clean and relaxed. While the photos are from our brunch experience, I've had both dinner and brunch at this location. Both experiences were outstanding! Of note, the general manager came by to check in on us on both visits, adding an extra touch of kindness and professionalism. read more

Food is delicious!! Highly recommend the Bolognese...so good and hearty. Will say ask for salt beforehand sometimes dishes need just a dash of salt. We have tried and like all apps we have had, also tried the charred pepperoni pizza and that was a pleasant surprise. Desserts are even delicious! read more

My husband and I dined at Plate for our anniversary and we were so impressed! Of course the food was delicious, but the service was impeccable. Our server was fantastic, had great suggestions and the service was prompt. The manager stopped by on several occasions to ask how we were doing. We even noticed that team members who weren't our server took the time to clear plates from our table and refill our water. Super cool to see teamwork like that. All in all, it was a fantastic experience and we'll definitely be back! read more

Plate - The burrata appetizer was to die for! - Italian Near Me - Leawood, Kansas

My god where do I start... amazing service. The waiter was very friendly and recommended his favorites. I took his word on it and got the bolognese while my brother and grandmother got the pappardelle and the aribiata. I went back with my whole family for my grandmothers 80th birthday. They were wowed to say the least. Consistency at this level of dining is paramount to success. Amazing work. Didn't want to include pictures because there's enough of those already. read more

You better go hungry because you are not leaving here any way but full. Food is not like you will find anywhere else around! A must try!

This was my first time at Plate. Service was pretty good, and our food wasn't bad either -- I liked the brussels sprouts and the salmon, and my dining companions pronounced their halibut "OK -- could've used more flavor." They gave me the wrong salad, but when I pointed it out they brought me a new one really quickly and with a smile! Unfortunately, most of the desserts weren't gluten free (which my companions are), so we didn't get to try any of them. So why am I giving it 3 stars? When we were presented with the check, there was a fee for using a credit card. A fee that is not anywhere on the menu and was not mentioned by any servers. It was about $6 on a $200ish check, so not a big deal monetarily, but it is a big deal in principle. People simply do not carry around that much cash as a matter of course these days, nor do they carry around checkbooks. The owner should either: 1) put the fee on the menu or have servers tell people when they come to the table, or 2) just bake the fee into prices -- which is the more logical option, since I assume 99% of people are paying with credit card. Actually, this could even be seen as an extra money grab -- since most people are paying with credit card, that means most people are being charged extra. It's really a toxic and gross practice and this restaurant should be ashamed.. I will add that the server was very nice about it and offered to take the fee off, but it's the principle of the matter. No hidden fees! read more

Overall a great experience! The food was delicious...service was good...only complaint is that my pasta was a little cold when it came out (still tasted great nevertheless). Definitely would recommend to anyone who loves Italian read more

Lovely place, with great outdoor seating and even better food. Really enjoyed the unique Moderno salad, and appreciated the very kind wait staff :) read more

This was our first time, but totally underwhelmed for the cost. There were four of us eating and the total was $150. We ordered three appetizers, a cup of soup, and a small salad. We each had one drink. The salad was listed as having multiple ingredients, but it came out with basically just lettuce. When we asked the manager about it, he said yes this is how it's always presented. There's nothing wrong with it, basically. there were a total of two pieces of goat cheese and maybe 3 pieces of meat, and no leeks. The dressing was very bland. We ordered all of the bruschetta apps. The tomato one had HUGE pieces of tomato. We had to cut all of the pieces to make it more edible. The bread it was served on wasn't good at all. Entire dish was bland. The tomato soup was decent, but nothing to write home about. The atmosphere was very nice - pretty and quiet. Our waitress was sweet but not impressed with the management. They did give us $15 off cards for our next visit, but not sure we'll be back. We'll see. UPDATE: I added a star because the manager has refunded our experience. That was very kind of them to rectify the issue. I hope that the menu improves as, I stated above, I really loved the ambiance and the server was very kind. read more

Don't eat the pizza... food poisoning. Been vomiting all night. Really disappointed been up since 3.

I never really write reviews but I had to for this experience!!! We had great food and even greater service. Their system was having issues splitting our parties tab so we had to wait awhile, the manager Noah was so professional and nice and took great care of us while trying to figure out the issue. Great experience and definitely coming back read more

Food was good. We ordered an appetizer that we found too salty. Two people came to our table saying they would take it off our bill. However, they did not take it off. We never asked for it to be removed, but for as big a show they made about removing it--maybe they should have kept their word. read more

I'll give Plate a 4+ because the food was so delicious. All of our entrees were delicious as was the bread. Our service and server on the other hand were quirky. He 'misheard' an order and seemed somewhat certain we made the mistake. They did offer to replace, but we chose not to delay the table. I also had to ask repeatedly for a tea refill. He then asked the entire table of 4 our dessert preferences, dropped 4 spoons and brought out one dessert to split. Again, we weren't charged, but it seemed quirky. The food was great though! read more
