The Blue Plate opened in 1999 as a casual spot where friends and neighbors can enjoy the best ingredients our seasons have to offer. Owners Cory Obenour and Jeff Trenam have created a space that feels like a home, with three distinct dining rooms each appointed with the work of local artists. In the back, a lush, night-fragrant garden offers an exotic retreat from the bustle of the city. The kitchen stays committed to using the highest quality local produce and meats in classic American and rustic Mediterranean dishes. Through a working friendship with Bay Area farmers, the Blue Plate is expanding the notion of "the blue plate special" to include dining that is casual, affordable, delicious and responsible.

Komaaj is one of the best restaurants I have been to in a very long time. From the service to the food and ambience, everything was amazing! Our server was very knowledgeable about the food and ingredients as well as giving us great wine pairing recommendations for our meal. The food is just incredible with so much flavor and uniqueness. Every single bite we took was a fantastic experience and we cannot wait to go back! I have heard the weekend brunch is a MUST try so I can’t wait to go back soon!!!! 5 stars for food and customer service all the way!
