Plainfield's Restaurant

I brought a 10 month old and was all but refused seating on an empty monday. They have no boosters or highchairs, and made it crystal clear that I shouldn't bring my child. My child was not crying or fussing at all by the way and we were being seated in a room by ourselves. I have been eating at Plainfields a few times a year for 12 years, and more for atmosphere than for the medeocre food. This is a nice place, but you get the impression the staff is superior to you. NEVER AGAIN. Pros: romantic, not crowded, easy parking Cons: very spotty service, not child friendly, small menu more

Great atmosphere. Good food too. But when I think of Indian food, I don't think of ""gourmet"" Indian food. This seems to be an interpretation of Indian food by a gourmet chef. No doubt, it's good, but do I really need to spend $100 a head to eat out? If you want to impress and have a really good ""gourmet Indian meal"" in a very romantic spot, this is the place. If you're simply looking for good and authentic Indian food, keep looking. Pros: atmosphere, presentation, parking Cons: authenticity, price more

These people really know their stuff! I love it when an Indian restaurant focuses more on refinement of masalas and spices than just the heat, and some of these masalas could really come from my mother's Maharastrian kitchen. Definitely try the CHAI. I also really appreciate how they've chosen to present the cuisine so elegantly, among some really beautiful art and with a fabulous, THICK wine-list. What really must not be overlooked about this restaurant is SERVICE. Everyone in the dining area knows their stuff, and rarely is one neglected. In fact, it's feels rather like you are a very special member of a royal family- a comfortable, relaxed elegance. Some people think Plainfield's a bit pricey, but I think for the amount of food you get and all that goes with it, it's really an evening that shouldn't be missed. Pros: service, ambience, patio, parking Cons: crowded weekends more

This place is a winner! What a beautiful location. A big Victorian Mansion right downtown.The inside is just as beautiful with Indian artwork on every wall. And the food is just as exciting. I am a vegetarian and it is rare to find so much to choose from on a menu. I think that over half the menu was vegetarian. I am not a wine drinker, but they had this mango lassie that was out of this world. I think I have found my new favorite restaurant! more

I have always avoided Indian restaurants (I don't like hot food). I recently went with friends and was thrilled! The flavors are sublime, complex and inspired desire for another bite. The entrees are served in silver platters, so I got to try all the dishes we ordered. My friends that like hot food could add the heat from the condiment tray. Even the rice had a delicous aroma and flavor and they brought as much as we wanted! I always heard this was a great place, but expensive. By the time we were stuffed and the bill came I was pleasantly surprised again. We split the bill and had money left in our pockets. The service made us feel like royalty and the dining room was like eating in an art gallery. I noticed a patio in the back and can't wait to go again when it is nice out. Pros: easy parking, outragous wine list, good smells more

I was at Plainfield's Mayur last week and my girl friend and I sat on their garden patio. What a great spot to enjoy the summer breeze, great Indian food and a great bottle of wine. The service was great and we never feeled rushed even though we lingered for four hours enjoying the evening. more

Our firm regularly takes our out of town clients to Plainfields' Mayur and it never ceases to amaze us. The delicious appetizers (Dahi Wada is mandatory), the outstanding and diverse entrees, the broad choice of vegetarian offerings, all served family style so we can share the bounty. And with one of the greatest wine cellars in the world (I am not making this up) and the gracious and knowledgeable service we never leave without a sense that we have experienced the best. Pros: Lovely ambience, Delicious food, Incredible winelist Cons: Not for loud children more

I ate there yesterday with my wife and had a great time. The food was sublime and so was the wine. I can't wait to go back! Pros: great service, stellar wine list, great food more

I haven't been here in a couple of years so I hope it's still as good as I remember. Every dish was bursting with flavor, each one very different from the other. It's expensive, especially for Indian cuisine, but I do think it's a notch above the other restaurants in town. Elegant atmosphere, good service. Dishes come out rather slowly, but each one's made to order. Beautiful patio, too. Pros: great patio, elegant, romantic Cons: expensive, can be slow more
