The sophistication of the vegan cuisine was mind blowing! Loved every minute of this dining experience - from the friendly and knowledgeable waitstaff to the unique flavor combinations of the creative dishes. We’ve stumbled upon a gem within The Camp and are so excited to go back!

I had the best meal here at The Plot. This was a special event 10 course tasting with 6 sample wine and cocktail pairings. The chefs out did themselves. Such an amazing treat. I will definitely do their “Plantscape” event again. I have been to their Oceanside location and to this Costa Mesa location for regular menu items which are always delicious. If you have not been and crave farm to table whole food plant based items, you must try them out! These small restaurants really need our support.

It was our first PlantScape and the Plot team did not disappoint. The chefs did an incredible job. Every dish was unique and delicious. We got the drink pairing and each drink was super tasty. My wife and I cannot wait for the next PlantScape.

(Wife here writing review) We booked for hubby’s bday and said gluten free for one diner. The hostess/ waitress was not very helpful in providing options / clarity. We had to ask her to check. Then after I ordered what she suggested I asked about the fried tofu… since they have shared fryer….i asked if it was air fried instead. I only ate the rice and veggies as she checked and it was not speedy. Well it was fried in the shared fryer! Plus the menu only listed soy as an allergy for this dish NOT gluten!! I have been on the potty ever since!!! It is so annoying and disrespectful. We still paid for my husbands meal that was ok but honestly felt like the meal should have been comped. I didn’t order anything else and would not recommend anyone go with any food allergies. Not a great bday lunch at all!

This is my first time at this restaurant, I came with eight friends for my birthday. I am the only Vegan and everybody loved the food. Our waiter was amazing and so kind. I felt like we got quite a bit for the price. I will definitely be back and can’t wait to try other dishes on the menu.

Always delicious, we haven’t had a single dish that we don’t enjoy from The Plot. Their chicken and waffles are a delight as is their chronic sushi roll. To finish the meal off you absolutely cannot go wrong with their crème brûlée
