Though I am not a vegetarian by any means, I have enjoyed vegan gourmet cuisine before. But never (and I mean never) was it this good in both presentation and taste. My wife and I started with drinks; red wine “Tamas “Double Decker” Syrah” for her, and a bourbon hot toddy (a seasonal special) for me (make that two). We ordered the “S Nuts” as an appetizer. A warm smoked assortment of nuts with herbs and spices. We now knew we were in for something special. For the main course, I ordered the Applewood Smoked Porto’House, she chose the “Rosotto”. Again, the presentation and flavor was extraordinaire. The pictures really do not do it justice, read the Menu for the particulars. For desert we shared the Live Key Lime Parfait with a cup of French pressed coffee. No previously prepared food here. It is made while you enjoy your drinks and appetizer. The timing for the servings was just right for a leisurely meal. The décor was very comfortable, pleasant and guest friendly. It helps to promote friendships with your fellow diners while enjoying your meal. The staff was helpful and attentive. The topping for our evening was “Chef” Jason Sellers joined us for a quick introduction and a photo shoot. Come to enjoy a gourmet meal you won’t forget. My only wish is that “Plant” was a little closer than our 5 hour drive to Asheville, I would be dining there at least once a month. Trivia: The “Plant”, is a converted gas station that was a backdrop for the 1958 movie Thunder Road, starring Robert Mitchum. https://www.dropbox.com/s/zol48r0deovpqn9/Thunder%20Road%201.jpg?dl=0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdwUpxkfSJw
