    Unfortunately our experience at The Plate was pretty poor. We have been there several times and this time it was so much worse than the last few times. We had great table service but when it came to the food we were pretty disappointed. A children's fish & chips came out really quickly tho we hadn't even received our simple appetizer - and didn't for another 10 minutes. Then our shared mains came out it was another 20 odd minutes after that. Unfortunately the meat quality wasn't really up to our expectations. Specifically the beef sparerib was very fatty undercooked & tough. Unfortunately it might be awhile before we are back, the value just isn't there now. Maybe the locals already know some of this as it was very quiet for a Saturday night.

    Such good food! Was not a surprise to see chef Russell Armstrong working in the background.. Toowoomba is lucky to have him. We drive up from Marburg because the menu is great the service is great and it’s reliable. Table of 5.. every dish licked clean x
