"Happy Hour here is 5 to 7 p.m. Monday to Thursday and 4 to 7 p.m. Friday to Sunday (impressive when weekend happy hours are extended). That means $6 crab and shrimp croquettes, $7 patatas bravas, and several other snack deals, plus $6 beers and $8 cocktails." - Missy Frederick
"Shortly after opening in its elegant, soaring Warehouse District space, Plates is serving brunch — a good move for a sprawling downtown space in close proximity to the Convention Center and World War II museum. The regular lunch and dinner menu adds items like chorizo hash, a Spanish tortilla, and steak and eggs, or for something on the lighter side, greek yogurt with granola or a bocadillo." - Eater Staff
"Plates is the Warehouse District’s newest group dining destination, a tapas-style stunner wholely inspired by the social nature of Spanish dining and incorporating the flavors of New Orleans (chef Farrell Harrison is Chalmette-born). Sample dishes like garlic shrimp, bruleed manchego, serrano-wrapped tuna, and patatas bravas, all with obvious Spanish influences, but don’t miss the shrimp croquettes or the charred okra, both of which lean more local. Happy hour is especially good, served at the bar daily." - Beth D’Addono
"Plates Restaurant & Bar is another 2023 newcomer, opened in a former cotton mill in the Warehouse District." - Jenny Adams
"Join Plates in the Warehouse District on Friday, February 9 for a three-course carnival lunch inspired by classic Mardi Gras street foods. Menu items include shrimp corn dogs, fried chicken, debris mac and cheese, and beignets. There will be live entertainment and costumes are highly encouraged! Reservations can be made here." - Beth D’Addono
