The Westchester food scene has improved and emerged into almost something that has an identity. There are a chockful of interesting eating places, unfortunately most of the better places are not really that easy on the wallet, but then again on a weeknight it does beat not having to brave city traffic or have to take the non-rush hour train that can sometimes be a bit of a drag, if you miss the train on the hour.
Well, this interesting restaurant Plates just add to my delight about the emerging, now pre-teen food scene, locally. The restaurant is among the ranks of local restaurants that attempts to cater to seasonal, local produce. The menu is in my opinion, interesting eclectic american. There are some dressed up classics, particularly on their dessert menu. They have another fun feature where on Wednesday's you can bring your own wine. Actually with this option, one gets a pretty good meal without breaking the bank, feels like quite a treat!
We went there rather impromptu so I am a little disappointed that we could not pick something more interesting than my chillean cab to drink.
Food: Nonetheless, the food was really good. I tried this gnocchi, that was cooked with brusell sprouts and baby back ribs, just melt in your mouth amazing. Anshul had some seared cod, was the special on the menu, once again cooked to perfection. In general the menu had a lot of seafood, good vegetable selections, with the occasional innovative meat and potato options thrown in. They bake their bread on premises seved with fresh butter and a pepper spread. Next time, I will make sure that I do not order an appetizer.
Ambience: The space was intimate but adequate and the walls were adorned with the most interesting collection of Plates that the chef Matthew Karp apparently has aquired over his cooking experience.
Wine and Beer: Since we went on a Wed, did not really peruse through the list.
Service: Very friendly and prompt waitstaff. Makes for a very pleasant experience.
In this case, I will give this place a 3/3.
