    Chicken
    Jill S.

    The drinks and ambiance were great, but the entrees were below average. The salmon was overcooked (dry) and fishy. The chicken was okay. The happy hour prices and appetizer were good (yummy cauliflower), but I'd skip for dinner.

    Chicken Sandwich

    We had been given a gift card to try out Plate, so we swung on down to check this place out! Parking was a bit tricky, as we went during the busy Friday evening rush! Give yourself some extra time to find a spot. The interior of the space is nice: clean, cozy, modern. To be honest though, the interior didn't match the experience or the menu. Service was fine, but could tell our server was a bit overwhelmed during the Friday dinner service and didn't provide a very personal experience. It was loud and there was a hint of chaotic energy throughout. The food was meh...I feel like the menu was a bit of an identity crisis with Prior Lake prices. American steakhouse, with globally-inspired seafood dishes, finished with tacos? We ordered the seafood chowder, chicken sandwich, and dip sandwich. The seafood chowder was lovely and highlight of the meal. Chicken sandwich was weird...I personally didn't feel that adding asparagus to a chicken sandwich was a good choice and it missed a sauce that bonded and provided a spark. The dip sandwich was just meat and bread, and would have benefited from cheese or really any other flavor generator. French fries were tasty, but generic. Restaurant location allows for the pricetag, not the execution or the experience. Probably wouldn't return.

    I have been dying to check out Plate for some time and I finally made it in to celebrate my birthday. My expectations were high and I have to say, they weren't just met, they were far exceeded. Everything about this place is excellence. It all started with the swanky, modern decor and comfortable, inviting feel. We sat at the bar and were promptly greeting with a friendly, smiling face. Our bartender was quick with recommendations and made sure that everything we needed was at our reach. For my meal I went with the Saffron Paella. Holy cow was this incredible. A massive portion with a healthy serving of shrimp and scallops. This is the perfect spot for a romantic dinner, birthday or anniversary celebration, or even just a few cocktails after a long day. I loved this place and will be back again and again.

    Food 4/5 - This restaurant is one of the "nicer" restaurants in Prior Lake and I was pleasantly surprised. Overall the food was great! The salads had fresh ingredients and meat was cooked how it was asked. Only complaint is the Brussel sprouts were just okay to me but everything else was great. Service / Ambiance 4/5 - Overall the space was clean and inviting. Service/staff were welcoming and talkative. *Prices reflect a higher end restaurant

    One of the more "fine dining" places to visit in Prior Lake. The food was good! We started with the crab cakes which were awesome. I had a side salad, steak, and Brussel sprouts for my entree. The steak was amazing. The Brussel sprouts were just okay to me. The service was quick and attentive. I will note that our server cursed a lot which was a bit odd to me. Some people would be taken back and bother by that. The space itself is open and clean. It does get a little loud, but overall an inviting space. Last thing to note: the menu is on the higher end for price range.

    I can't say enough good things about this place, it was delicious start to finish. First off, I love a dirty martini but it's a game changer when blue cheese stuffed olives are involved. It's clear they make their own & they are absolutely delicious! We came in & did the restaurant week special with a few extras. Our Caesar salads were great, perfect proportions & dressing ratio for a big meal. Our filets were cooked perfectly, couldn't have asked for a better cut. The Brussel sprouts, mashed potatoes, and risotto were all well done, but nothing special in comparison to the filet. For dessert, we tried both the cheesecake & key lime pie in addition to the pistachio creme brûlée. The crime brûlée 100% stole the show. It's hard to rate the other two desserts after that one! As far as atmosphere- perfect. It was cozy & romantic & modern all at once. Parking was easy with the amount of street spots in the area (not parallel parking spots)

    Drove thirty minutes to meet some friends at Plate and the food and drinks did not disappoint. We came for happy hour which was a good thing, prices are pretty high here for being in a suburb. However if the food we ordered had any indication of what dinner entrees taste like, the prices might be worth it. Food review: The burger was very tasty, I suggest ordering the cook on the medium side. The fries also had a nice flavor to them, however could have been a bit more crispy. The Pork sliders were very delicious, they are a must have for an afternoon happy hour. Steak bites were ultra satisfying, very tender and can be cut with with a fork. The steak comes with a house dipping sauce which pairs excellently. Drink review: The Afternoon Delight cocktail can be explained with one word, fantastic. It is now one of our favorite home bar cocktails. The brûlée on the orange slice perfectly complimented the drink. Don't count out the Buffalo Trace Old Fashioned, a top notch recipe. All the staff were very helpful and personable as well. We had a great time joking around with our waiter.

    Bottle of house wine included. You can upgrade to other options too.

    Last few visits we were not impressed with the steaks. Thought we would try again for Restaurant Week Winter 2023. And wow what a difference. Not sure if they got new sous chef or new salamander equipment, but the charred sear on the NY strip was perfection (see picture). The size was very generous and seasoned just right. I would suggest they keep up the nice sear and don't fall back to old ways. The roasted Brussels' were unfortunately overcooked. Seafood chowder very flavorful with lots of seafood. Shrimp ceviche was good as well. Favorite dessert was the spearmint cheesecake with chocolate ganache (mini cup size). Key lime cheesecake was also good.

    Decided to give this place a try for restaurant week. It was a bit far but we were craving steak and it had a lot of options. They have good covid precaution in that you have to wait for a text before coming inside the restaurant to prevent too many parties in the waiting area. 5/5 We were seated promptly right away. The restaurant have a nice dim ambient. Appetizers came out pretty fast but the main entrees took about 30-45 minutes to come out after the appetizers. The wait was a bit long. 3/5 Shrimp ceviche: good portion and tasted good. Just had the right amount of sour flavor. 4/5 Beef bites: beef were tender and tasty. However, the sauce was not good and has a weird sour flavor to it. 4/5 Filet: I ordered medium but it came out more medium rare and more pink in the middle than I wanted. The steak was cold by the time I got it. Not sure if it was waiting in the kitchen for too long due to it being busy or not. The Brussels sprouts was good but a little burnt in some areas. 2.5/5 Prime New York strip: this was also medium and it was cooked as a medium. The temperature was still hot compared to the filet. Overall a better steak than filet at this restaurant. Mashed potatoes was creamy and fluffy. 4/5 Desserts: I think we got the chocolate and cheesecake? It came in little bowls smaller than we expected but honestly good in size so we didn't waste any of it :). Service was excellent. Our waitress checked on us often. I tried ordering 2 different mock tails but for some reason they ran out of ingredients but the waitress made me a surprised drink on the house. That wasn't necessary but she felt bad after 2 failed orders and I really appreciated that. Great service! 5/5 Not sure if we were drive this far for another dine-in since there are similar places in the metro area with the same price and menu though.

    another dinn trip to @plateonmain in prior lake! the place was PACKED but service remained speedy & attentive. my new favorite order to start the night has to be their espresso martini - SO good! meal was all-in-all impressive with the pasta tartufo being the standout item (creamy, perfectly cooked mushrooms ). aesthetically, everything was gorgeous but we found that the filet & ribeye lacked a little in the flavor department --still, nothing a little A1 can't fix would still absolutely return and love this spot.

    This is a local restaurant we frequent. The food is always excellent. Britany is the best bartender! Scallops with risotto is awesome.

    The food and service were awesome. It was too loud in the bar for a good conversation though. Dining room was better but still loud.

    We were visiting St. Cloud for our sons college football game and decided to walk down the street…read moreand find a place to enjoy dinner. We were very pleased with the drinks and food. The appetizer (breaded cauliflower wings with chipotle ranch) was different but delicious. I do wish there were a bit more to enjoy. We also had the roast beef Philly with fries and avocado chicken tacos. Both were delicious and the perfect portion. As we do not drink often, we did enjoy the titanic tea. I was a perfect night to sit outside and enjoy the weather as well. Our waitress Kyah was spot on and had a great attitude. All around, recommend 7West Taphouse.

    I'm a huge fan of 7 West. Burgers and Beer are my two favorite food groups…read more They offer roughly 50 rotating tap beer options, which is a huge amount in the St. Cloud area. They do a good job getting new ones in and keeping it fresh. The recently started offering cocktails as well but I haven't had a chance to give any of those a try. The food is amazing, and every time you're here you'll be surprised at how quick it is. They have a great selection of burgers and a few unique ones. The burger of the month is sure to be interesting! Their tacos are the bomb, and they also have a monthly version of this as well. What you might not have expected was this 7 West's beer bartered fries are the best fries I've ever had. You can pick from a plethora of seasonings to put on them. The cajun is a hit. The jalapeño popper burger is my recommendation. There is street parking and a lot/ramp directly across the street. The place is not big by any means so seating can be tough if it's busy.
