Planta is one of my favorite restaurants. As a vegan, it's always a pleasure to be in a place where I know I am "safe" to eat. ;)

My husband and I had a great time at Shiso. The food, drinks, and music were excellent. The staff was very kind and attentive. They gave us two complementary glasses of champagne in celebration of our anniversary. We highly recommend this restaurant, it is a must try. We definitely plan to go back.
