After making a horrible suggestion last weekend for breakfast, I had to redeem myself. Bam agreed to Blue Plate when I suggested it even though I thought he didn't really like the place. So I was sweating and hoping it was going to be good.
For the same price as the disaster last weekend, this was so much better. We left full and happy.
I had the Northshore omelette with hashbrowns and toast. Bam had a special omelette with shrimp, smoked sausage and mushrooms with this wonderful cream sauce. We shared a blueberry biscuit as well. Coffee was pretty good.
The place was packed and we were in and out fairly quickly. It was a pleasurable experience.

Re: Blue Plate
You are allowed a mulligan. Just don't let it happen again.
Anyway, what we had was great but some of the food there is bizarre. There's no reason ever to eat lettuce at breakfast. It's like they want to straddle the line between a big greasy, hangover breakfast and having fru fru items and it just doesn't work.
Regardless, this morning was the best experience, I've had there in a number of years.

Re: Blue Plate
I've liked Blue Plate for some time. I have lunch there every couple of weeks. I've done the breakfast several times.
I've always liked the place. She's not going to reinvent the wheel or anything but the basics have been good. I like the "Swine Divine" at lunch. Pork loin stuffed with feta and spinach, served with roasted potatos and veggies. At breakfast, the stuff which involves the creamed spinach has been good. The place isn't going get me there every day but it's definately in my ten or so rotation for lunch spots.

Re: Blue Plate
When we went, I loved my dish (crawfish cakes) but hubby didn't care for his french toast.

Re: Blue Plate
I don't know. The place has always left me less than impressed. I've been around a half dozen times over the years. Everything always reads well on the menu and looks good when they set down the plates. But that's where my enjoyment starts to tail off.
I've never had a bad meal there, just never a great one or even a really good one. At least they're consistent.

I went to Coulis yesterday, and was VERY impressed
