Mongodb query nested object with nodejs and mongoose

Question

I have the following schema:

var mongoose = require('mongoose');

var Schema = mongoose.Schema;


var Reviews = new Schema(
    {
    author: {type: String},
    rate: {type: Number},
    descritpion: String,
    date: {type: Date, default:Date.now}
    }
);
var Place= new Schema(
    {
        image_path: {type:String},
        place_name: { type: String},
        info: {type: String},
        type: {type: String},
        address_place:[{
            address:{type: String},
            city:{type: String},
            postcode: {type: String}
            }],
        review: [Reviews]
    }
);

var PlaceModel = mongoose.model('Place', Place);
module.exports = PlaceModel;

I want to retrieve the data inside the address_place and review. I tried the following code for the address:

       var PlaceModel = require('../models/places');
       exports.place_list = function(req, res) {
       PlaceModel.find({},
       'place_name info type
        address_place.address address_place.city address_place.postcode',
       function (err, pla) {

        console.log(pla);
        if(err){
            console.log(err);
        }else{
            res.render('place.ejs',{
                title: 'Places',
                placesArray : pla,

            });
        }
    })
}

The result of this code is the following one in the terminal:

{ _id: 5b10235c29dd6a29e8a8f5d7,
name: 'Test',
info: 'Test',
address_place: [ [Object] ], 
type: 'Restaurant',
review: [ [ Object ] ],
__v: 0 },

As you can see the address_places show only in brackets "object" but I want to retrieve the entire content. How can I do that?

for example

 address_place: [ 
   address: 'street',
   city: 'New York',
   postcode: 'S23WLL'
  ]

Same thing for review. I tried everything. Thank you in advance!

hello dear friend it's just an idea :

how about using this : JSON.stringify(result,undefiend,2);

like this link

and this will be your output then :

{
  "results": [
    {
      "gender": "male",
      "name": {
        "title": "mr",
        "first": "andreas",
        "last": "schütz"
      },
      "location": {
        "street": "4662 ahornweg",
        "city": "dessau-roßlau",
        "state": "bremen",
        "postcode": 82616
      },
      "email": "andreas.schütz@example.com",

      },
      "picture": {
