Hidden but Delicious! - Edit
Happy we found this place for brunch! Had the BLT, and the tempeh was very well balanced with the sweetness of the beets. Spouse had the breakfast burrito, and it was also not bad, and came with a tasty salsa. Overall the vibe was great on the patio, surrounded by olive trees. Definitely on the expensive side, came to $44 with tip for just 2 items. Nice treat, and would return to try other menu items.

Very expensive for less than mediocre food - Edit
We had two entrees and two appetizers that totaled $122. Interior space is small and loud, people's talking voices make it loud enough to drown out the music. I didn't even know there was music playing until I went to the bathroom. Food was very mediocre, I wasn't impressed with any of the four dishes. No going back again.

Insanely good - Edit
Fantastic brunch! Tofu Benedict and Shakshuka were to die for, absolutely recommended for a high end brunch spot.

Prefer the food to the vibes - Edit
Eye-rolled the server's description of the food in terms of the serving temperature, but once it got to the table, we were happy. Folks in the kitchen know what they are doing.

Underwhelming and overpriced - Edit
I went for a birthday dinner and was pretty disappointed. We got the sourdough pasta and the smoked eggplant, which were both subpar. The mustard was incredibly overpowering and the eggplant was barely seasoned.

The one vegan restaurant my non-vegan spouse begs to return to - Edit
Everything is amazing here, but especially the bread. The bread is to die for.

Everything on the menu, please! - Edit
We started by trying the orange wine—very like a rosé. Then shared a beautiful salad, with a tangy dressing. Then the oysters (mushrooms) on toast—so smoky and rich. I’d ordered the gnocchi with spring vegetables and my OH ordered the lasagna for entrees. The gnocchi were pan seared and buttery. The lasagna was a raw dish. We actually traded entrees and we’re happier. The raw lasagna was a masterpiece—fresh heirloom tomatoes, pesto, tomato purée and vegan ricotta between slices of zucchini. Wow! For dessert, I chose the olive oil cake and tahini gelato with candied almonds and sour cherry sauce. The tahini gelato stole the show and I could. It have been happier and well and truly stuffed!

Great service - Edit
The service was excellent here and the food was really tasty but not spectacular enough to make me want to run back. The tempeh and root vegetable pie was yummy but extremely overpriced for what it was. I did really like the broccoli with ‘nacho cheese’ and think this was priced fairly

Nice - Edit
The raclette was excellent, while we found the noodles and the curry rather ordinary. Dessert very good. The outdoor area is a delight. Smiley and young staff. Prices are high, but in all honesty we have seen similar prices in restaurants all over California.

Beautiful place - Edit
The plates are beautifully decorated and taste amazing. It's cool to have a chance to eat vegan food at a chef restaurant. It's an expensive restaurant, so you'd better be prepared to pay.

Healthy & Unique - Edit
I will preface this by saying I’m normally a junk food vegan, so this menu did not really stand out to me. However, the person I was with (dislikes junk food & fake meats) LOVED it. Everything is vegetable heavy and tastes very fresh and light. The portions are tiny, definitely need to order a lot if sharing (we split 4 dishes & 2 desserts among 3 people and it was just right/could’ve ordered 1 more maybe). I personally would not come back here but it’s very “LA Vegan” so it’s a cute place to bring out-of-town friends. The outdoor area is very pretty, there’s an adorable & friendly neighborhood cat around too. Staff was very attentive. Street parking & a metered lot relatively close.

Vegetable Highlights - Edit
I love restaurants that really know how to bring up the flavors of vegetables. I had the sweet potato and the cauliflower dishes and was blown away. They were tender, but not over cooked and the sauces were not overpowering, just helped the vegetables stand out. Amazing!

Elevated but Casual - Edit
Came here on a Saturday night at opening (5pm) for dinner without a reservation and we were seated no problem in the beautiful outside patio area. We started with a passion fruit sangria which was delicious but it tasted more like strawberry to be perfectly honest. Then we share the butter toast with lavender and fennel pollen honey and their cheese plate. Their cheese plate was composed of three cheeses: one Gouda, one paprika potato cheese, one Asian inspired cashew based cheese. I wish there was more of a differentiation in texture between the cheeses as they are all quite soft. The fennel pollen but it was absolutely delicious and we forked over four more dollars for three more slices of bread.
Read moreFor the Mains, we got the gnocchi, kelp noodle salad, beets polenta dish, and the kimchi dumplings. I think my favorite was actually the kelp noodle salad which had a slightly crunchy but chewy texture. I think the kimchi dumplings for my least favorite, they reminded me of crab Rangoon with a slight spiciness. We were too full to try dessert.
I would definitely come back here because all the dishes were intriguing, however the meal was definitely more of an elevated experimental experience rather than comfort food style.

Had a delicious dinner there last night. Gorgeous patio. Vegan fine dining that is hard to find. Found the place on Happy Cow and PFW did not disappoint. And a good wine list. Seriously lovely.

The most AMAZING and delicious vegan restaurant - Edit
I could not have enough good things to say about this restaurant. Classy, elegant, delicious, unique flavor notes, truly original food combinations. It is hands down the best vegan restaurant I’ve been to in LA, no ever. They recommend you order two plates since the portions are smaller which we did every time. I never regrets spending upwards of $60 every time. Special occasions or even a light lunch it’s perfect for dinner or anytime. The food is just *chefs kiss* I will come back hundreds of times. Thank you for doing vegan food so wonderfully!!!

A beautiful space with beautiful vegan food. I took a non-vegan friend and she loved it. The “cheese” plat is amazing. Everyone is nice and the location is near the beach.

Wonderful food, service and outside sitting area - Edit
Our first night in Venice beach and what a find! The staff couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating. They had a good knowledge of the menu and wines. The food was creative and extremely tasty. We were able to sit on the outside patio which was lovely with the stone walls and lighting. Couldn't have enjoyed it more

Upscale Plant Based Cuisine - Edit
I love this place. I don't know what else to say. The best part about Plant Food Wine is the culinary dining experience, especially on holidays. What attracts me to this restaurant is that the food is in its own category. What I mean by this is the chefs are not trying to re-create comfort food fake meat dishes, which is commonly found in a lot of vegan restaurants. All the dishes are plated so beautifully and the flavors are something you just have to taste to appreciate. I highly recommend!
