The Plate & Pint

The Plate & Pint on Bainbridge Island is proof that happiness can be served on a plate… and poured into a glass during happy hour. First of all, Sarah (or Sara — spelled however you spell “legend”) behind the bar is an absolute gem. Friendly, sharp, remembers your drink, and somehow manages to make you feel like a regular even if it’s your first time. The kind of bartender who could calm a ferry delay meltdown with a single pour. Now let’s talk happy hour, because as someone living on a fixed income (aka I’ve made peace with budgeting but still enjoy joy), this place understands the assignment. The deals are legit. Not “$1 off something you didn’t want anyway,” but actual, honest-to-goodness this-feels-illegal pricing. I checked my receipt twice just to make sure I didn’t accidentally wa

My husband and I came here to celebrate his birthday. What a great lunch we had! I got the second best Eggs Benedict I've ever eaten. (They got beat out by the Court of Two Sisters in New Orleans, so they're not doing badly at all!) I chose the ones with Dungeness crab. The servings of crab were generous, and the Hollandaise sauce was just right. No one asked how I liked my eggs. One was cooked just the way I liked, and one was more runny than I prefer, but I really didn't mind. It just tasted SO good. My husband had a HUGE meal of fish and chips--so much he took half home. He loved his food too. Our servers were great. The atmosphere reads English pub without being too over-the-top.

What a memorable night! The Seahawks won the Super Bowl and we won a big screen TV! We had a great time for sure but that’s par for the course at the plate and punt, (winnings aside). Our family always has a great time and great food when we dine there!

Everything we was delicious! Sweet potato fries, crispy duck salad, pork scratchings (aka fried pork rinds), chicken wings with dry ribs. Even the kids chicken tenders were very good. The service was indeed slow, but that seems to be more of a staffing problem. Definitely need to come back again.

Pretty good food. I feel it is a place one can count on being good everytime. One of the items on the menu listed it came with a smaller beer, but they were out and wouldn't sub for a schooner. Oh well. Crappy parking tho.
