    The food was absolutely delicious! I particularly enjoyed the eggplant appetizer. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, making it a great spot for a casual meal.

    Some of our guests dining with us were not vegan. One of them did not like anything he got. What I got was OK. My wife did not like her gnocchi like dish at all and only ate half of it. The other guest thought it was about a 4 of 5. We had an INKIND card for payment and they said they did not accept it. My phone was dead so I couldn't have paid for it until I charged my phone anyway but it would have saved us $30. I'm not a big fan of vegan thing but figured I'd try a California thing while visiting. Wait staff very helpful and attentive...but the food was not great. Brussel sprouts and beet appetizers were pretty good. I had Korean BBQ thing which was OK. Will not return. I was a little disappointed in the iNKIND non-acceptance. I did not press it, maybe another waiter may have known how to use the INKIND app for payment...and INKIND did say they were a new cuswtomer and they had decent reviews on INKIND.

    Our server was sweet and gracious, our food was amazing. We didn’t know what to expect as our first time at an all plant based restaurant, but this surpassed any possible expectations! We had the Patty Melt, the Eggplant Katsu Sando and an olive oil cake for dessert. All 3 were perfection. Highly recommend, even for those who eat meat. This is just delicious food!

    Amazing vegan food in Oceanside. My wife and I went here in a weekend getaway from LA and were blown away. For starters we had the chronic sushi roll, which was hearty and fantastic. For main courses, she had the meatless loaf and potatoes. I had the shepherds pie. They were all fantastic. If you’re vegan and want a non-prententious fine dining experience. This it the place. Up to 30% of their vegetables are grown in the garden outside. Really cool place, really cool mission, great food. Run, don’t walk, to The Plot.

    Top 3 of all vegan menus, from all of my traveling on a vegan diet. Don’t walk, RUN to this place. Refined vegan palettes and non-vegan palettes will truly appreciate the care that is evident from the time you walk in to the time you leave, the customer service, the food, cleanliness, ambiance- magnifique et absolument parfait! Mackenzie was our server and she is such a joy! (All on staff were fantastic) and the chef- Davin- phenomenal, above and beyond, and kind Soul! My party of 3, 3 generations, truly enjoyed our meal with the added bonus of the garden, music, outdoor seating, and lovely care of the staff. We are grateful! BZ to the owners! PS- we will always come back!

    We like the concept, but food is okay. I have had better vegan food. Prices are good, I will try one more time but different dishes. Coffee is great.
