    Always a treat to come to this spot! We live further south so we cannot come as often as we would like, but when we do we always look forward to a meal here…lunch, brunch, dinner. Highly recommend.

    Creative and delicious food with many options for the vegans out there, kind, almost supportive service, and a very very chill vibe with a groovy playlist on the sound system. Great coffee, too. Really enjoyed going to The Plot, and will be back as soon as I'm able.

    We loved it! Delicious and interesting food, service was friendly and helpful and we received a complimentary dessert for my husband’s birthday. I would definitely return there! .

    Fantastic food, great wine/beer selection. My only complaint is the lighting is way too bright. The eggplant, the beets, the cauliflower, the gnocchi... all prepared perfectly with so many amazing flavors. Will definitely be back during the day when the lighting won't be as noticeable.

    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.
