Strang Chef Collective on The Plaza

Neat place. Great food. Something was missing though....

Oh yeah, service. Which would be fine if the auto-tip prompt wasn't on the checkout. If I have to run my own food, I'll tip myself. ??‍♂️

Cool spot on the plaza. There are multiple food selections and 2 bars. The seating is nice too. They do have an outdoor balcony as well.

Being stuck at the Hospital on the plaza has a silver living when you can walk down the street and get great food! I have been here several time and tried several items and they have all been so good. The people are very nice and cheerful. Try them out and you will be hooked!

Some of my favorites:
KN- Crab Rangoon
Forage - Roasted Squash Salad and Oatmeal Cream Pie
VR - Shrimp Tacos

Lots of reasons to go elsewhere. Feels like eating at the food court of a mall. So no way to know there are two levels and some vendors bring the order to the table and others do not and you get cold food when you figure it out. Wine pours were skimpy and were highly scrutinized so you didn't get an ounce extra.
Food was decent but seemed poorly managed.
Again, lots of better options in the area.

Food was very bland and over priced for what we got. Ordered a burger way over cooked. Tomato slice was as thin as paper and only half a slice. Curry rice was chicken bouillon with zero curry and over cooked rice. Maybe 4 other customers in the dining room .Not that great for a 55 dollar lunch. Soda was delicious

Lived this joint. Went with a girlfriend and we both have different dietary restrictions which were no problem with the variety of choices here. I had the amazing green curry - so good. She had charred Brussels sprouts - also delicious. The balcony was a great place to eat with a view.

Decent in its own right. Stranghall has it beat by a mile but they've had more time to dial in their dishes. The location is prime.

Forage was a complete disappointment. My family member ordered the Pork Belly BLT and it was all bread and sparse Pork Belly. The fries and broccolini were not cooked well at all. Flavors from the Pork Belly BLT were non existent.

Underrated restaurant! It's good quality food and a good price for downtown and fast. It's a unique setup where it's one restaurant but it branches of into 4 different types of food (Mexican, Italian, Asian, and Burgers). Plenty of space, and good music.

Good food, fun environment.

I had Pad See Ew and Lemon Lavender Semifreddo that was…unusual. It was a bit clunky, poorly constructed…maybe even poorly conceptualized. In addition to some suspect looking lemon curd, it had the saltiest strawberry to ever grace the planet, but somehow it worked. I will definitely never forget it and that counts for something.

Vegetarian options: Good options for vegetarians.
