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!

Amazing beautiful Vegan food.

Finally got to try this place and we were so excited to go after reviewing the menu. Luckily we had not eaten much that day and devoured our two appetizers one being the chronic roll. Not only was the food great but beautiful presentation. We are already planning to return next week to explore more of the menu. The potato cakes and chronic roll were delightful. Also had the marrow and the biscuit and gravy with fried chicken. Don’t miss the espresso drinks

Pros: Beautiful presentation , Variety

Wasn’t what I expected

I had the meatless loaf sando on the brunch menu. It didn’t really have a taste and the loaf part was burnt. It was also a bummer that you can’t change what side you want for your meal.

Excelente opción en Oceanside

A parte de los exquisitos sushis, de la ensalada César y la sopa de papas, la calidad en el servicio es excelente!

Wide variety, expertly crafted. There was something for everyone and every dish was fresh and flavorful. Kids love the chicken n waffles. Others enjoyed the polenta, stuffed sweet potato, and stir fry.

Amazing comfort food!

We had sloppy waffles not gluten free but excellent. Sausage and Biscuits are gluten and soy free drizzled with a little maple syrup. Totally unexpected guilty pleasure. Not far off the freeway. Parking in the back. #Veganuary

Pros: Unique takes on certain comfort foods , Great drink menu , Enough gluten free soy free options.

Ambiance and Excellence

Creative menu of diverse plant food. Ordered Okinawan sweet potato gnocchi, takoyaki and plot cake for dessert. Each dish was flavorful and delicious. Although I grabbed all to go, the interior and outdoor eating spaces were open, airy and beautiful. Fire pits gave everything a classy glow in the evening. Will definitely return to try the rest of the menu.

Pros: Fantastic menu, Beautiful dining area, Parking around back (see sign behind restaurant)

Plant-based Deliciousness!

If we lived closer, we'd be regulars! The Chiken and Waffles was fantastic! I want the tofu-chiken recipe! Service was great. The owners were there, keeping an eye on everything. Definitely going back next time we're in San Diego!

Charming and unique vegan restaurant

Honestly, I really appreciated the menu for brunch was unique, and the food was beautifully plated and delicious. The service was great, and the restaurant itself is beautiful with indoor and outdoor dining and plenty of parking in the back.

Pros: All plant-based, all the time., Perfect for a date night

Good eats & good space-just a little room for improvement

The Plot is a neat place. I came here for Sunday brunch with a couple of family members. The weather was clear and just a little chilly—but this place actually provides blankets for those sitting outdoors. Inside there was loud music, so outdoors was perfect.

We all enjoyed our food and drinks. My sis and hubby had the chicken (fake) and waffles while I had the frittata—all delish. I’ve been missing eggs since I became vegan, and the frittata fulfilled that craving for the most part. Here’s my beef, so to speak: can you please make a frittata look like a frittata and not a sliver of cake with a few tiny tomatoes on it? The texture was smooth, the fake cheese sauce was yummy and it was delicious. But not as egg-y as I had hoped, and for fifteen bucks I got a portion I could have finished in 15 minutes if I hadn’t slowed down and savored my turmeric chai. Thankfully my sister couldn’t finish the last fourth of her food so I was able to fill my stomach. Please use some Kala Namak and play with the texture and shapes so I can’t tell the difference between a real and fake frittata. If you can do it with chicken and waffles, you can do it with this dish. For goodness sake, I know there are talented chefs in that kitchen!

Pros: Totally vegan, Plenty of variety of dishes and beverages , Comfortable outdoor area with blankets!

Cons: Some small portions for the price

Zero Waste, Five Star Experience

Thoughtful atmosphere and knowledgeable servers are what set this place apart from other vegan restaurants in San Diego county. Also, the zero waste concept that is the basis of this restaurant is an example of what all restaurants should be striving towards. Fill your belly and save the planet.

Pros: Great ambiance/ Attentive Service , Exquisite plating , Seasonal & Scrumptious creations

Real vegan cuisine, not just veganized fast food

I can’t tell you how tired I am of all the lazy vegan food in restaurants like impossible or beyond burgers and the like. The Plot is nothing like that. The food is made from whole food ingredients, it is creative and delicious. I just had the Shepherds Pie which was wonderful but I have had at least 6 other meals there that were just as enjoyable. Prices are very reasonable, beautiful atmosphere and very friendly staff. I’d eat there every night if I could!!

Everything A Vegan restaurant should be!

I can't say enough great things about this restaurant. Sustainable, composting, on site gardening.
Outdoor seating with blankets and heating accessories.
The service that Devon gave was second to none. Knowledgeable, engaging, friendly and outgoing and such a quickness on expediting!
The quality of the food was by far, some of, if not the best tastes and flavors I've ever had.
Crafty, cosmetic, balanced, original!

Pros: Everything was a Pro

Cons: Not one

Worth the drive

My husband and I went last night for the first time, he ordered the meatless loaf, it was really amazing, I had the biscuits and gravy and it was good but not just what I expected, it was a white gravy, a very crumbly biscuit and tofu as fried chicken, we shared the takoyaki which was scrumptious and a crunchy sushi roll which was ok. We also ordered dessert; the chocolate tort and the plot cake, we definitely liked this last one better. The place has very nice ambiance and plenty of outdoor seating, the service is excellent, I definitely recommend it.

Pros: Lots of outdoor seating , Non alcoholic cocktails , Excellent service

Cons: Far -for me-

Memorable plant-based dining experience

Shepherds Pie was exquisite and hit the spot. This is the nicest plant-based restaurant I've been to yet. Outdoor seating is popular with the oceanside backdrop, but the indoor seating is nice too. Service is very good. Menu pricing is reasonable for the gourmet food served.
