    Been a few times. And tbh this was not a great food experience. The menu was pretty much the same but with a few new dishes (bring back the potato cakes, please). But overall a bit bland and not what I was used to. Maybe the regular chef had the night off? It just didn’t seem as good as it was the last few times I’ve been.

    AMAZING!! All of the food was phenomenal and so delicious!! Our server was very knowledgeable and helpful during our entire experience. Being vegan, it was such a treat being able to order anything and everything from the menu. The garden outside is very impressive and it's awesome knowing the food you're eating is grown right there. We can't wait to come back and try more dishes!

    Our server Matt was so nice and helpful, the food was tasty and service was great. Before we ordered we were giving a sample of aged watermelon sashimi which was a nice bonus to welcome us as new comers ✨

    Fabulous. 6 of us attended a "Plantscape" event at The Plot and it was nothing short of fabulous. A tremendous value for what we experienced over the 9 courses in 3 hours. Each course was unique and definitely a new taste. Delicious and satisfying but not over-filling. Again, simply fabulous.

    I went on a Sunday and their menu offered mostly brunch items. They only had a couple of items offered for lunch. I ordered the panko fried eggplant and it came between two large slices of French bread with Napa cabbage slaw. The bread was soggy and the overall taste and appearance of it was disappointing. I don’t think I’ll go back.

    The food was good, but it took up to 45 minutes for us to receive our dishes. My girlfriend and I joked that they must be growing the food before cooking it. The service was slow, and it seemed like we were seated outside our server's section. Our server eventually realized how long our food had taken and brought us soup as a gesture. This left me thinking there might be something wrong with the restaurant, as they kept giving us items we didn't order. For instance, when we were seated, the chef sent us an Amuse-Bouche. Don't get me wrong, the food was good. However, considering how far away The Plot is from us and the poor service we experienced, I don't think we will be returning.

    Ruby was so knowledgeable and excited about the food that I thought we were talking to the restaurant's owner rather than a server. We went there for the first time on my mom's birthday, they were totally on point with customer service and Ruby made sure that my mom had an exceptional dining experience.

    This was our first time at The Plot. My daughter is vegetarian, so she was excited to go to a 100% plant based restaurant. We had a really great meal and our server was helpful and attentive. Wish it wasn’t so far north!
