This is my favorite restaurant in the south metro. Whether you’re in the mood for something more casual, like a great burger, or a dry aged steak, PLate has your back. The staff is friendly and service is quick. Great list of tap beers, as well as signature cocktails; and every appetizer is worth trying; especially the artichoke dip.

Loved! Great food, service, atmosphere, but it is very noisy. If quiet is what you’re looking for this isn’t your place. Live music outdoors. The filet was cooked perfectly, the mashed potatoes and Brussel sprouts were delish, the drinks were delish. We had several appetizers that were all good-don’t have pics: Calamari, spinach artichoke dip, ceviche and chips. Had specialty cocktails, everyone liked what they had.

I joined my girlfriend mid week for a very enjoyable nice out for restraunt week. I tried their salmon and enjoyed it as much as the scallops I usually get. This place never disapoints!

My family and I had a fantastic dining experience at PLate in Prior Lake, MN. Our server, Kapria, was absolutely amazing—her knowledge of the menu was impressive, and she provided top-notch service with a warm, attentive demeanor that made our meal even more enjoyable. The food was outstanding across the board. My personal favorite was the wedge salad with steak bites, which was perfectly balanced and bursting with flavor. My wife ordered the scallops and couldn’t stop raving about how delicious they were. My mother-in-law thoroughly enjoyed her steak and lobster, which was cooked to perfection. The kids devoured their spaghetti, a testament to how much they loved it. PLate delivered a memorable meal with exceptional service and high-quality dishes. We’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great dining experience in Prior Lake.

Wow! Service was amazing, food was so delicious (Pasta Tartufo with Scallops) and (Fillet with Shrimp and Brussels Sprouts ), bar service was very quick and the drink was absolutely drinkable (Old Fashioned) and (Caymus). L Prices are midpoint, so it's perfect for a special occasion or when you feel like treating yourself. The platting is good but not picture perfect. The quantity of food they provide outweighs the platting any day. The atmosphere was friendly, welcoming, and amazingly hospitable. If you're looking for a nice night out, this should be on your list. I recommend it for romance, special occasions, self-pampering, business dinner, and milestone dinner. Transparency; Two of us with one drink each and one entree each was 125 before tip. Establishment was not aware of this review and no compensation was given.

TL:DR - Great food, good service, if you're reading reviews just go. Stopped in for a birthday dinner date with my wife. Had heard good things so we decided to check it out. We were not disappointed. We started with the Steak Bites. I'm not sure you could make steak bites any better. Perfectly tender, flavorful, and the sauce was a delicious addition. The Paella and Chicken Francais special were also delicious. They don't skimp on the protein portions and the price is still reasonable. They threw in two mini cheesecakes for the birthday which was appreciated. Service was good and they seem to be younger local residents which is good to see.

OMG...Damn Delicious!! After not securing a reservation at a near by steakhouse, this is what we can't up with. So glad we got to experience it. The food, chefs kiss everything bought to our table was finger lickin good. To to it off, the service was a 10/10 and the place was cute!! We tried a variety of things starting with the calamari 10/10, the filet cooked to perfection 10/10, the burger made from several cuts of beef 10/10, the Brussels sprouts to die for 10/10, steak tacos were seasoned and tender 10/10. Our drinks were all delicious as well. Run don't walk to try this place. You can thank we later!
