It’s been 4 weeks since our last day of service! It’s hard to put into words just exactly how I felt today as I carried out the last of the pots & pans from the restaurant. The expression “too many cooks spoil the soup” is an idiom that means when too many people are involved in trying to do the same thing, the result will most surely NOT be good. We’ll when I opened the plate 12 years ago I had the crazy idea to embrace the opposite- that’s to say that by design the plate has always been about the people. To MY team past and present- a crazy, funny, diverse group of individuals from many different places we figured out how to do it our way with no one to rely on BUT each other. What we created together proved nothing short of amazing. I will always forever be so proud of you and what we accomplished together! To OUR customers, your hand written notes, emails, posts on social and just all around love and support did NOT go unnoticed or appreciated. You made us feel, valued, and indispensable. You showed us the power of kindness and what it’s like to be good humans. For that I will always be grateful! “If you are a chef no matter how good a chef you are, it’s not good cooking for yourself; the joy is in cooking for others”. TY!

After twelve years of serving Milton and the surrounding communities, first at our original Central Ave location and for the past eight years above the Milton Fruit Center, the plate will be closing. While we hoped to extend our lease, fortune was simply not on our side. Our last day of service will be in spring 2024. Come help us bid a fond farewell to our home away from home.

To the Milton community, your unwavering support has been the backbone of our success. We are truly grateful for the memories we’ve created together and the moments you’ve shared with us. Please come and help us close this chapter with love and nostalgia for our last few months of service. We hope to see familiar faces as we say goodbye.

Thank you for being a part of our journey-
Onward and upward

With love,
Your friends at the plate

Our Story

Seriously delicious, fresh, and imaginative. These are just a few ways to describe the food served up at the plate, a Milton, Massachusetts business that has been delighting customers since 2012. Getting its start in the Milton Lower Mills neighborhood, with a second and much larger location newly opened on the second floor at the Milton Marketplace in East Milton,

The plate was opened by chef Suzanne Lombardi, who has a unique love of sharing great homemade food with her customers. As the plate’s offerings constantly evolve, Suzanne strives to keep her focus on comfort food made from the best quality seasonal ingredients, a vision she shares with her dedicated team. In 2017, The Plate on Central introduced a new “egg-centric” menu that showcases their creative spin on the egg sandwich! You’ll also find a selection of yummy treats, soups and salads. The Plate @Milton Marketplace offers delicious handcrafted sandwiches, soups, prepared meals and homey baked goods and serves an amazing brunch on Sundays.

From our inimitable egg sandwiches to the vibrant flavors of locally grown veggies and herbs, we are passionate about our food, our community, and our earth, and look forward to sharing that passion with you the next time you’re in the neighborhood. See you soon!
