Really good food grown right there

The food was delicious and it's grown right there in the restaurant. I had the shepherds pie which is very good lol a little bit too salty. The Thai Larb was excellent as was the tomato soup and the KFC roll. The vanilla, angel food, tape cake with fruit was delicious. The chocolate cake was OK although a bit heavy.

The vegetables were extremely fresh.

It was over $110 for three of us so not for casual dining.

Pros: Food , Ambiance, Freshness

Cons: Price

You must eat here -WOW

The most incredible vegan restaurant I have ever been too (next to Apteka inPittsburgh:)!

Seriously though, this is a must. Incredible, zero waste, farm to table, delicious and innovative … Beautiful interior, dog friendly patio, and service was impeccable. Our waitress was so sweet and I have never heard anyone be so good at elaborate the menu (any menu anywhere). Her way of describing specials made me want to order it all. Our group had two kids who lived the food as much as we did and when we order deserts and espresso at the end, she brought out little tiny cacao drinks served in espresso coffee cups for kids too-you can imagine how good, important and acknowledged kids felt - so sweet! Highly recommend, the food was incredibly delicious.

Pros: Everything

Incredible

Incredible tasty dishes. Lots of choices, all fresh and extremely delicious.
You can even sit in the garden where they grow the food they use.
Carrot tacos are a must try.

Pros: Food, Service , Variety

Best Vegan in North San Diego County

Have not been living in the area that long (under a year), but consider this the best vegan place I have found in the Carlsbad/Oceanside/Vista/San Marcos area. Great food, excellent staff, and both indoor and outdoor dining options. We've brought multiple omnivores here and they have enjoyed it as well.

Pros: Food, Service, Atmosphere

Cons: Not open on Monday and Tuesday, Parking can be tricky - the back lot is tiny

Fabulous, variety, inspiring and good eating

Vegan plus, nothing manufactured and super creative dishes. Locally sourced and local means their own garden for a ton of their ingredients. Extremely friendly to boot.

Precious and Tasty

I love the concept and the fact that everything is grown on premises. The cutest thing about it is the tastiest cocktail is named after one of the owners dog…Michael 🥹
There’s a ‘mad scientist’ who takes care of the gardens and puts a lot of love and energy into the products. You absolutely have to go to Plot. Everything is amazing, the cocktails AND wine are incredible and the staff and deco of the restaurant are lovely and beautiful. I can’t say enough positives about it.

Pros: Staff, Deco , Options and flavors and amazing cocktails

Best Place for a Date

The Plot is a gorgeous sit down restaurant that is great for a date. The interior is designed really well and they have an outdoor seating area as well. The food is unique and all vegan -- which is always a plus! Every time I have gone, the staff have been really friendly and seem to enjoy their job. The Plot uses local ingredients and cares a lot about being zero-waste. Go ahead and make a reservation, you won't regret it!

Pros: Delicious Food, Creative Menu, Beautiful Interior/Exterior

Cons: Can be spendy

Vegan Date Night!

I went here for date night with my husband. The atmosphere was warm, cozy and lively. There were lots of other couples on dates as well as families enjoying themselves. There was something for everyone on the menu!

We started with the Takoyaki appetizer. It's like having vegan hush puppies. The yum yum sauce was delicious! We then had the famous vegan Chicken and Waffles. It was true vegan comfort food. We enjoyed every bite. I highly recommend taking your vegan and non-vegan loved ones here. Can't wait to go back soon.

Pros: The atmosphere!, The delicious food!, Everyone welcome!

Cons: Finding parking is a little tricky sometimes.

Pros: Creative dishes, Ingredients made in-house and locally sourced, The best vegan sushi I’ve ever had!!

Good! Would probably recommend dine in over to-go.

I ordered sushi and vegan chicken and waffles to go. I love that they have a vegan brunch menu! I’ve been missing that for so long! And the chronic sushi was yummy! The spicy tuna, crab, and avocado was a great combination and you couldn’t tell it was vegan. I would definitely order that again, however the chicken and waffles weren’t my absolute favorite. I would have liked to try flavors of oyster fried chicken with the waffles instead of this version of the chicken. Maybe vegan butter for the waffles too? I think that was missing. Overall, should try once and definitely try the chronic!
