Best Small Plates Restaurant Springfield Near Me

Robbie Watson: Very good food - recommend a reservation if you want a table but they are accommodating with "soft" (couches) or bar seating should you come in when not busy.Vegetarian options: They do have a single vegetarian entree but on the overall spring menu they do have a few vegetarian options. They are accommodating with edits should a vegetarian be in the party.Dietary restrictions: They do gluten-free foods/notifications on the menu.

Shawna Godsy: Enjoyed a quiet evening with my friend to catch up on life. The food and wine were good. The atmosphere was very nice. The piano player came in a little later but was too loud to continue our conversation.

Jeremy Letterman: This place is fantastic. Everything on the menu is wonderful.

Scott Giffin: We had a table of six and the restaurant was not very busy, maybe a dozen other patrons. Our food was luke warm and it was served one at a time over 15 minutes. Three of us had the steak medallions, were told they were filet (tenderloin). They were the tough and chewy. Nice atmosphere but the food left a lot to be desired.

Brittney Evans: The ambiance in this place is...*chef's kiss*! It's wonderful for an evening out with friends and great conversation. The food was incredible. Loved the tapas style. Michael helped us through our evening and made it infinitely better. It is so clear that he loves what he does and enjoys helping everyone get the most out of their experience. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this place. I will definitely return again and again.

Omar Ramirez: The 'Baked Brie' was amazing! We were met by an amazing server, Michael. If this is your first time going please let Michael know and enjoy the experience. I went in there not knowing what to get and walked out having a full course meal 😋 10/10 will be going back.

Julia Higgins: Holy cow I don’t think I’ll ever want to eat anywhere else ever again! The food was AMAZING and the service was even better! Michael took care of us and he was pretty much better at his job than anyone literally EVER

Nikki Konkowski: Great atmosphere, the employees were so sweet, Michael was our server and he was amazing. The owner was there too and was very sweet and welcoming. The food was superb and definitely a more laid back upscale dining experience.

Bekah S: We had the best spontaneous drop in experience at Cellar + Plate! Michael helped us and gave us the best recommendations and service that I have had in years. They were booked up but accommodated our party of 3 in between reservations. The valentines menu was so fun and well thought out. The food and recommended wine could not have been better. Customer service is not dead!!! Thank you Michael and Cellar + Plate for helping make my mother’s birthday celebration a smashing success.

Rachelle Bunker: We decided to celebrate our mothers birthday here. We did not have a reservation but the staff accommodated our party. To our surprise there was a Valentine’s Day pairing special. Our server and wine connoisseur was Michael. He is truly an expert and described everything so well. His delightful service made it just that much more special. Thank you for a memorable experience.Btw you have the most adorable water glasses. Where did you buy them?

Vince Lancer: This place is great. It does get busy on weekend nights so you might consider making reservations. They also have a lot of live music on the weekends as well. The food and wine they serve is great and they have a large selection.

Keith&Kelly Clark: We are so in awe. And so disappointed that Progress is closing the doors on June 30. Be sure to get there before then!!!! The fennel salad was this crazy delicious blend of fennel, orange and dried salty olives. The leeks were topped with a salty pepita mix that was out of this world. The steak melted in our mouths and the gnocchi bolognese was so flavorful! To be balanced I have to say that the gnocchis were not the fluffy little pillows I had in Italy. But the dish was still so yummy! Just cannot sat enough good things about this food. And our server, Grace, was so knowledgeable and attentive. The Cab Sauvignon and CA red blend were both delightful. Do it quick! Before it is only a legend.

Autumn Sharp: Exceptional food, service, and experience

L T: My family brought me to progress for Mothers Day. It was hopping, and we were glad we had reservations as they cut off any further customers at 12 due to the volume.We were very disappointed to find out that they were out of half the menu. Leaving only one app option and the main courses we wanted were also unavailable. That wasn't the biggest issue, however. During our meals , we were treated to the most ridiculously inappropriate and explicit playlist playing loudly for everyone to hear.Most families were there with their children. Young and old and got to listen to Doja Cats "kiss me more".Super cool listening to her sing about wanting to"F@#k" something with your kids. There were several songs like this. When brought attention to the fact that there were families with young children, the staff said they didn't control the music.It was apparent that more than a few people were like "WTH is playing".I think coupled with the lack of items available, this has to be considered a less than average experience.Vegetarian options: Avocado toast

Bree: I really like Progress and have always had a nice experience here. However, today we walked in for breakfast and were told there was no more seating for walk ins or Reservations due to it being Mothers Day weekend. This is fine and understandable. But the hostess was very rude when telling us this and I felt like she had a "sorry, not sorry" attitude. Very disappointed with this interaction. Even my 13 year old son picked up on the negative vibe we received.

Randy Henderson: Called a week in advance to get a reservation for Mothers Day brunch. Calls go to voicemail. So left a voicemail explaining what we wanted, and also emailed the supplied address.Having not heard Monday, I tried again. Tuesday I tried again. Wednesday I made a special trip to the restaurant, only to be told they were full. I told them of my attempts to contact them, their answer was "Not sure what happened. Sorry."Maybe its good food, but it sure is poorly organized.

TacoTuesday MeatLoaf: The atmosphere and drinks were amazing! And there "dinner burger" is outstanding!! However, their octopus was HORRIBLY fishy tasting and just not good at all. Don't get me wrong, I love octopus! But I ate it on the west coast! Don't expect sea food in the middle of the USA to be good, cuz it never will be lol

Anna Y: Loved it! ☆☆☆☆☆Food, atmosphere, and service are outstanding. Love that it is locally grown! Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

Ally: I ordered the taste of progress and being a foodie thought I would love it all. Sadly I only enjoyed the biscuits.. the salads were weird and I can't say any of it was good. The octopus was covered in a black sauce that was just gross. I would go back to try other things but so far what I tried was not worth the 130 dollars in any way.

Jacob Funke: Love this place for brunch! Spicy blood Mary is a must! As are the donut holes. My entree was the Brunchwrap Supreme that was truly outstanding. Great services as well.

Josh Garrett: Had the Taste of Progress tasting menu. After reading every dish's description, I thought, I'm not gonna love that. I was pleasantly surprised every time. Super creative and delicious throughout. Service was awesome. This place is now one of my favorites in Springfield.

Max Grimes: Had an absolutely stunning meal here for an anniversary. Our server Hope was very knowledgeable about the menu, knew exactly how to pair drinks with our food, and was incredibly pleasant the entire evening. We had the butternut squash per Hope’s recommendation and it was fantastic, you won’t find another dish like it you simply MUST go in to try it. The steak tartare was our other appetizer and it made the tartare I had from flame the other week look drab by comparison. Our mains (chicken and pork) were among the best either of us have had in recent memory, and they were paired excellently with a Spanish white wine (thanks again hope for the rec). All in all, one of my favorite meals I have ever had experienced, and certainly the best dining experience I have had in the SGF area. If you only have one night out in Springfield, make sure it’s at progress.Vegetarian options: They have an entire section of the menu dedicated to vegetables. Vegetarians will be in heaven.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramps from the parking lot to the front entrance and a flat floor plan made the restaurant very wheelchair accessible.

dreamsava: Pure delicious art. The best cauliflower dish I’ve ever had. Food bliss ❤️🧚

Niki Driggers: The menu is seasonal so if you want to try something specific from the current menu go sooner rather than later.The food is absolutely amazing. I had a salad as an appetizer that was all new ingredients to me and I loved every part of it.If you like to explore foods Progress is definitely a place to go.Vegetarian options: They do have vegetarian options. Most are salads but they do have a Main that is also vegetarian.

G Fleck: Outstanding as usual. Hope knew all but one menu selection with great detail. She provided expert suggestions as we wanted to share and enjoy multiple items. Brought two out of town newbies here. All were absolutely delighted with the experience.Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

Nicolas Wilson: Arrived and was greeted by friendly hosts. The restaurant had a decent ambience to it. Our server was nice and did a good job. Ordered the Naan appetizer, a couple drinks, and the prime dry-aged steak. The Naan was okay. The drink was really good. The steak me and my girlfriend ordered medium rare. The food took quite awhile to Arrive with a slightly odd and unique side of broccoli and a sauce pairing. Both of our steaks were cooked well done. We let the server know and she had it redone in the kitchen. Ended up waiting another 30 or so minutes. The steak was what I'd expect an average 25 dollar steak to taste like but this was over twice as much at 52 dollars. I don't dislike the people or the food, but the pricing is too high for what you get here. There are not many options to select from for entrees or starters. I spent 152 for me and my girlfriend before tip. There are simply much better options in Springfield to spend your money at that doesn't feel like an incomplete experience.

Bryan Haile (Ouroboros0): One of the better dining experiences I’ve had in Springfield.

Kory: Not a family friendly environment.

Lily S: The worst food ever. The salad was old and dry and sandwich was dry and taste horrible as well. And dr. Pepper was flat to so literally NOTHING was any good there. shame.

Austin Layton: Largest draft selection in the city. Great music. Beautiful chandeliers. Cold beer, hot food. This is America

Anthony P.: It's now the Alamo not the backlot but this place is AMAZING

Joshua Scheuerman: Alamos food has always been their weak point. I have had multiple items on their menu and the food has always been lacking. It has great service and it's always fun going here but I always eat somewhere else before watching a movie. They do have a great selection of beer though and the staff is always great.

And we got a atch n take part in a birthday spanking lol. It was inter sting n funplace a very detailed into it kind of staff n who gave us an overview close up of how it handles a large party with a small crowd.

Mike Ballard: Clean, not over crowded, good acoustics, food was good and reasonably priced. Loved the CCR review.

Melody Marlay: This bar is a standing only place. They have very limited seating at the back of the bar. It reminded me of bars that I have been to in LA where you're stuck standing all night and the music is so loud you can't even breathe. I do not recommend.

Thomas Cusick: Awesome!

D “StinkyThumbz” Z: Love this place, great staff tasty food. Great music venue.

Erin Renee: I really love how open this venue is! Drinks were a good price too. Could use more bathrooms.

Gregory Frazier: SBC's The Cellar is the live music venue we've needed for a long time. And while it's all about the music at this downtown Spfd club, Cellar also features SBC brews and genuinely fantastic food that isn't your standard bar fare that's become a hallmark of the space - the beef brisket "KC Dilla" is the best quesadilla I've ever had. "Eclectic" would best describe the artists/bands booked at Cellar - Go by any given night they're open and you're going to hear some great music - return the following night and you'll hear something equally groovy, but completely different. Truly a breath of fresh air.Great music, great food/drink and great staff.

Chris Coffman: Great music venue with good food & libations!

Todd Kirkpatrick: Awesome little place to see live music. I loved it.

Mike Erbe: Great music, good people, good drinks, they also have an outside smoking area. This place gets a thumbs 👍 up from me!!

Brandon Hughes: A cover charge is a guaranteed way to make sure I avoid a place, and theirs was $10. Nice atmosphere, good band, drinks are a little pricey but they are good. That said, it's worth noting they only sell their own products. If you want a PRB or Budweiser they won't have it. SBC does have a great beers, I highly recommend their products, but I can get them at the restaurant next door. If I'm going out for the night, I'll go to any of the other bars downtown. Preferably somewhere that lets me in for free, 3 friends bailed before we even went in just to avoid paying the extra $10. If I'm going to waste money it may as well be on more drinks with my friends, not some stupid fee at the door.

John Reif: Great place and friendly staff!

Heather Carpenter: The customer service was 10 stars. It’s not often you can feel the employees serving you are happy to be doing their job, and it says a lot about how great this place is! The music and drinks were also great. I had a fantastic experience.

B Hughs: Cool place to see bands. Dance floor and plenty of room to roam if you want to. The food is some of the best I've had downtown. Creative and flavorful. Its kind of a self serve bar where you order drinks and food at the bar then take back to your table. They do bring your food to you and were really good about cleaning off the tables. Great staff! You won't be disappointed here. Going back Sunday night for jam session.

Meghan Asher (Claritii): Great music, good food and good people!

Comestible Curmudgeon: Great venue for local artists. Delicious food and house beverages. Lija Fonner and the Flower Power were fabulous!

Osiris Ayise: Nice place, friendly patrons, went there to celebrate my 50th birthday with some friends and had a great time. Will return

Tim Slocum: Great local beers paired with fantastic entertainment Patty Steel band was out of this world!!!
