Expensive but a nice experience - Edit
The food was good but not outstanding (with very small portions), so for the prices they charge I probably wouldn’t go back. The atmosphere is great and the service very attentive.

Upscale Vegan Dining - Edit
Loved everything about this place. The ambience is very modern and laidback for an upscale restaurant. Highly suggest making reservations as we sat at the bar when we first arrived. The service was phenomenal and the bartender was very attentive to our needs. The kimchi appetizer explodes with flavor with each bite. As a new plate arrived there was an excitement to try each dish and everything exceeded my expectations in terms of taste. Amazing restaurant for special occasions, well worth the price.

exceeded all expectations!! - Edit
Incredible experience!! Saw a lot of negative reviews and almost didn't come here. To clear things up this place is high end carefully prepared food with every bite filled with flavour. Two of us had a couple glasses of wine and a tasting menu. Our bill was $180 so if this isn't what you were expecting then I can see how people will feel the price is unjustified and give a bad review. We had a ton of food and left absolutely stuffed. It would be possible to eat for 30 each if you both had one main. You probably won't leave stuffed though like you would at a vegan mac and cheese spot. If that's your thing then this place isn't going to do it for you so spare yourself the expense and the bad review. If you are into a really nice vibe and setting coupled with great drinks and carefully prepared tasty food then this is your heaven. I think if you know this coming in there would be no negative reviews. Also it wasn't pretentious at all. Walked in with no reservations in shorts and a t shirt with a ball cap and we got great seats. Our server was knowledgable and super chill towards us. In hindsight this would be a really nice spot for a date night and prob would have dressed up a tiny bit to match the nice atmosphere and quality of food and experience. As long as you're ok with spending some coin you will not be disappointed.

plant - Edit
My boyfriend and I came here for our anniversary and it was honestly the worst place we've been to. Everything was WAY over priced and the food portions were tiny. The service was okay but it seemed like everything was over done.. trying to make everything fancy except for the food. I left hungry after spending 70$ on two dishes and a beer

Pretentious - Edit
I'll start by saying that I usually try not to give negative reviews to vegan restaurants, but in this case a positive one would have been a lie. The best thing about the restaurant are the setting and the decor. The staff was not professional at all. Even if the restaurant was half empty, they would disappear for 20 minutes at a time and suddenly come back every 2 minutes. The manager welcomed us with a "You're in the best vegan restaurant in Miami!" (never happened to me, not even in Michelin starred restaurants). The food was really average: the wrap "watery" and blend (it took 30 minutes to arrive). The concentration of salt in the cacio e pepe was almost unbearable. The strawberry hibiscus cheesecakes were acceptable, definitely the best food we ate. Really, really, really pretentious. Much ado about almost nothing

Exceptional! I couldn't disagree with the 2 star review more - Edit
This place is world class. The setting and decor is very nice. The service is exceptional, from the first moment walking in the door and being warmly greeted, to the exceptional waiter, the visit from the manager, the tour of the kitchen, to when I left and was sincerely thanked for my business. The food is fresh, unique, unprocessed and very tasty. A new top favorite.

This is probably one of the best meals I've ever had. From the drinks, appetizers, entrees, to the desserts....incredible. So much flavor! Great staff and such a nice atmosphere. A lot of the food was also raw. The zucchini lasagna and cheese plate is incredible.

Best vegan fine dining restaurant - Edit
I've been to a ton of restaurants and finally I found the fine dining experience I crave for the occasions! The outdoor seatings are amazing and the banana leaf tamale and the key lime brûlée were out of this nature tasty! The wine was also super delicious!

Best Vegan Restaurant on the Planet - Edit
In response to the negative people who are complaining about this restaurant, they clearly seem to be the type who will complain about everything. I have lived all around the country and the world and have eaten that all of the best vegan restaurants on the planet. Matthew Kenney is a food genius. And I am not a raw vegan or an overly healthy vegan. But I could eat here every single day and when it first opened, I was there every day. The Cacio e Pepe, zucchini lasagna, cheese plate (add the blue cheese), and kimchi dumplings are musts. They change the dessert menu often but if they have the cheesecake, you have to get it. The key lime desserts are amazing as well. The only two things on the menu that I was not a big fan of were the hearts of palm and the coconut tacos. And I have tried everything on the menu. Everything else is absolutely amazing and the only reason I might not love the 2 I mentioned as much is because everything else at the restaurant is the best thing you've ever eaten. 💯

a lot of money, not a lot of food. - Edit
Maybe this place is just not for me, I usually don't negatively review vegan stuff, hey at least there trying right? And maybe this is not even a negative review, as much as a warning. I feel like i was blindsided buy the high price and small portions. It was like a joke from a movie or commercial, where they go to like a "fancy restaurant" it was damn near 100$ for like 8oz of food (between two ppl)

Didn't quite meet my expectations - Edit
I will preface this by saying that I am not a raw food person. I love my food cooked and eat it that way 1/3 to 1/2 the time. Plant had a wonderful atmosphere, great service, and very good food. However, the prices were outrageous for the amount of food you get. My husband and I had to buy food after at Bunnie Cakes down the street since we were still hungry after spending $100 on food for the two of us. There are other vegan places nearby with similar prices, but more satisfying meals, so I will not likely be back. It's probably a good option if you are raw, and looking for a fancy restaurant in the area though.

amazing raw food and beautiful environment - Edit
Quite expensive however the quality matches. Sit outside on their beautiful patio if weather permits. All the dishes are raw. We toured the kitchen (say yes if they offer!) where one can witness it all in action. Not a single fryer or oven in site. Get the lasagna, it's what their known for.

Pricy but tasty - Edit
I came here after an exhausting walk from Miami Beach and had the MK bowl. It's not cheap but it was certainly delicious. Friendly wait staff.

Excellent high end plant based dining - Edit
Just like some reviews mentioned, this place is tricky to find, but don't give up and keep looking: call them to get you directions. It is so worth it! The atmosphere of the restaurant is absolutely stunning, very romantic and relaxing. The service is impeccable, but the food is what would really blow your mind: it is very creative, so delicious and you feel so good and wholesome after. Hands down this is a top-notch experience and I am so happy vegan placed like these exist! I was there with two meat eaters and they were very impressed and loved everything. If only we had more places like these, the old stereotypes of "the food doesn't taste good without meat, cheese and grease" will be broken forever! Wish we had a place like this in where I live! I will be dreaming to return here every time I am in Miami!

Scrumptious is defined here - Edit
vegan can be elegant. This restaurant proves it beyond anyone's doubts. the good food ranges from oyster mushroom dishes to decadent desserts, but the real bonus is the open kitchen with no stoves, microwaves, or other cooking machinery. the dehydration machines, high speed blenders, and expert staff do it all. location came up on my GPS. valet parking was available on a Saturday night. it was an all around great experience.

Unbelievable! Delicious upmarket vegan food! - Edit
The venue is amazing. It's a stylish and upmarket compared to the usual vegan only places. They have an a la carte menu for lunch and dinner and an extensive drinks menu and cocktails. I had the cheese platter as appetizer, which was absolutely amazing. The "cheeses" were so delicious. There was blue cheese and truffle cheese and some others. For Entree I had the Cacio (creamy spicy pasta) and for desert I couldn't decide so I had the Key Lime Brûlée, Verde and Strawberry Cheesecake. For all the food taste I can just say it's on a different level. So uniquely tasty!

Does it exist? - Edit
When approaching the neighborhood on foot, there is nothing - no signage, no address, nothing - that indicates where this restaurant is. There is a parking lot behind a gate, with a small building behind it. If that is the restaurant, there's serious branding/visibility issues. Would've liked to eaten here, but...

Great food but expensive - Edit
Good service, great food. We had vegan Cheese plate, extra crackers, raw lasagne, raw noodles, a beer, a cucumber drink and we paid 100 $. So if you are from Europe and used to vegan places, this was probably the most expensive vegan food we've ever had. Yes it was delicious, but we can't effort a 2nd time eating there. It should have more $$$$ ;)

Wow, wow, wow is all I can say. Possibly the best vegan restaurant I've been too ever and I've been to a lot of vegan restaurants all over the world. Well worth making the effort to visit. The bill isn't cheap but then again - the food is well worth it. If you're looking for a fantastic vegan meal and are prepared to spend a little extra on something special - don't miss this!

favorite vegan restaurant in miami - Edit
Miami doesn't have the best vegan scene but this place is definitely the best vegan place in Miami and one of the best vegan restauranta I've ever been. It's pretty fancy and expensive so it is a place more for special occasions. Most of the dishes are raw and don't even taste like they are. My non vegan family loves this place as well. Definitely try the tamal, the cauliflower, the cacio e pepe, the key lime pie dessert, and the hibiscus cheesecake.

Incredible raw food, ambience, and service! - Edit
My partner and I have been here a dozen times and are continuously in awe of the beautiful crafted and delicious dishes we have. The cacio e pepe is incredible, it's their take on a raw vegan and gluten free fettuccini Alfredo pasta. The zucchini lasagna, kimchi dumplings, and bahn mi lettuce wraps are to die for. As well as all the delicious desserts. Not a place to be missed! They also have a culinary academy in the back that is incredible .

Fine dining prices, vegan, mostly raw - Edit
We had lunch here on the patio. The setting was extraordinarily lovely. It's a bit off the beaten path near the Wynwood area. I had the green gazpacho and coconut chorizo tacos. The dishes were all delicious. Also had a mango dessert that was tasty. As with all raw restaurants, when you finish you feel like you've eaten the largest salad ever. My omnivore husband didn't like as much as I did. Cost for 2, no wine, 1 dessert, including tip, was $107.
