had an absolute blast catching up with friends over good food and drinks! i had the truffle mushroom burger with the portobello mushroom patty and it was so flavorful! the service was great—everyone was so friendly and fun!
While the ambiance of the restaurant was pleasant, unfortunately, the dining experience fell short due to below-average service and food lacking in seasoning and flavor. While catchy and enticing menu food item titles were abundant, the presentation and overall taste was frankly lackluster. The waitstaff seemed preoccupied and inattentive, resulting in miscommunication of the customers' needs. As stated, the dishes lacked flavor and could have benefited greatly from more seasoning or love. Overall, while the potential was there, the execution left much to be desired.

This is about the 10th time I have eaten at this restaurant and it NEVER disappoints. It is consistently excellent with a very extensive menu. You cannnot go wrong at this place. We drive 45 minutes to eat there and it is definitely worth it.

Plate 38 was the perfect place to meet family for a Sunday Brunch. The drinks were delicious for all of us, the food, was okay. We had a side of fries which the whole table really enjoyed, the Turkey Sandwich, which was mediocre, the Chilaquiles were also just mediocre, the lox & bagel was great, my husband thoroughly enjoyed it, and my Garden Salad was also delicious. The service could have been a bit better, when we arrive there were only a few tables seated and it took about 10 min to get our drink orders in.

This was an 18 dollar beet salad from them, disgraceful laughable small amount for damn near 20 dollars

Home away from home. Consistently friendly staff and excellent food.
Happy hour food is awesome but on the pricey side. Tables and chairs are bit dated. Sometimes tables are sticky due to not cleaning well?

Excellent place for a nice business lunch. Enjoy the fact that the menu is lunch and breakfast. As with anyplace in Southern California, the prices have risen so lunch for two with water for one person and ice tea for the other and a 20% tip was $61 - so it is not an inexpensive meal. And sitting outside at the curbside tables was lovely, but the many ambulances and firetrucks going by were loud so just be prepared. We really enjoyed the meal and the food was very good. Server was friendly and we felt very welcomed.
I love Plate 38. It's got an eclectic menu that is usually fabulous, a great happy hour and reasonable noise levels. The service has been a little slow of late but they seem to be trying to improve it.

This is a nice place with lots of seating available. The kids menu is a nice touch and the regular menu portion sizes are reasonably large. Generally, service is fast but one of our orders took longer than everything else. The food is fresh and most items are tasty.Vegetarian options: Limited but available vegetarian optionsDietary restrictions: Server asks about restrictionsParking: Strip mall parkingKid-friendliness: Kids menu available but sizes of these dishes vary significantly
Stopped in by pure coincidence tonight, and I'm glad I did. The oysters were fresh and delicious, the burger was unbelievable, and the cocktail was perfect after a long day. I'm glad I found this place!

The food and our server were excellent. There were a couple errors from the kitchen but they were quickly fixed. The bar drinks were made well and tasty. Short ribs and steak were outstanding. I'm definitely a fan of Plate 38!
