Dessert to die for

I ordered the chocolate torte for dinner and was surprised at the hefty portion size; I loved it! So rich. Am very impressed with the sustainability of The Plot; will definitely be going back!

The Plot Thickens - with amazing plant based food!

Wow. What a special place this is. Awesome vibes the second you walk in the door. The energy of the staff really fills this place and you can tell how much everyone appreciates the innovative plant based menu. The outdoor seating area is just such a great way to enjoy the amazing food on offer. Enjoyed sausage and biscuits, the breakfast sandwich, the crab and cucumber salad. Also, if you like hot sauce, I’d recommend you ask for some. There were two offerings, the spicy red hot sauce made from peppers grown on site! Also, try the fries. 😂

Pros: Food, Staff, Gardens

Cons: No drip coffee available - americano is offered

Great vibes

The food and atmosphere is awesome but don't skip on drinks and dessert! My favorites are the chocolate OM and green tea soda

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

Absolutely Amazing

We came here to celebrate my husband’s birthday and it was amazing. Every dish we had was so flavorful and delicious. We could not wait to eat the next bite - if your are near Oceanside, you have to stop in.

Pros: 100% plant bases, Everything made in-house, Wonderful staff

Cons: Nothing I can think of.
