Planta
Service was awful.
The food was amazing. The service was okay - I was taking my friend out for their birthday and had left that in the notes and selected birthday as the occasion. When I arrived at the restaurant the host confirmed it and that they would bring out a slice of birthday cake for my friend. However, it was not communicated to our server, as she did not follow through. I did not want to ask in front of my friend for it as it would be awkward and I wanted it to be more of a surprise. Then another table got their birthday cake with sparklers and it just made me look bad. Food is great, best plant based restaurant out there, just service needs a little work.
Construction going on was very cold they gave out blankets and cider but would have been nice to know beforehand
The food was amazing! I can't wait to go back. Every item was delicious.
Always love coming back to this place. Great menu - I think I've now tried everything on the menu! Service is great, very friendly vibe and crowd. DJ is a nice touch. Later evening is quite lively. A little expensive for the selection - but the whole package is worth it! Decent wine selection, nice cocktails. Great for a date. Can't wait to go back!
Not a vegetarian, but always have a pleasant experience at Planta. The food is surprisingly filling and you don't get the overly full feeling after many other meals. I attribute that to unique ingredient pairings and great sharing appetizers.
The server was very nice and took precautions as I am very allergic to mushrooms . I had Singapore fried noodles , but it was below average . It looked great though . A bit disappointed though
Dats night. Was great.
Loved our server!! Great suggestions and great service.
Disappointed with my first experience at Planta. Our reservation was at 7:30pm but we didn’t get a table until closer to 8pm. Our group was understanding because it was a Friday night. Our main issue was the service...very slow! It took over 30 minutes to order food, another 40 for the food to come out and then 30 minutes to waive the server down to get our bill- the restaurant was pretty quiet towards the end so not sure what the issue was. Food was a hit and miss at our table. Main dishes were mediocre, dessert was good.
Everything was great! The only thing I didn’t like is that even though I made a reservation, our table wasn’t ready when we came in. Because we were in a rush to get to an event nearby, we had to sit in the lounge which wasn’t as comfortable and conducive to conversation between 2 people as a table would have been.
I had the burger and found it too small and not satisfying. The salad that was served with the burger was a very small serving. Even though the food tasted good, I was still hungry after finishing my meal.
It was our first time at Planta, and we loved it. They accommodated us quickly as we had limited time to dine. We left it to our server to choose a sharing menu and we loved her choices.
The pizza crust was great and I didn't mind the lack of real cheese but it was bland. The spring rolls were not crispy although the accomanying sauce was good. The chatcuerie board was miniscule and definitely not worth the price. The staff and service were great.
Meeting friend
Came here for my birthday and was very excited due to all the rave reviews I've heard. I've never been so underwhelmed by an establishment.
Firstly, despite having a reservation, we had to wait over 15 minutes to be seated.
The ceiling has been replaced with plastic and duct tape due to the construction on the building. It was packed and really noisy. Server took forever to come, we ordered drinks, they still hadn't come by the time we ordered our food.
For an upscale establishment, I don't understand the service. Our server was friendly, sure, but when she took the bread plates away she just left the cutlery on the table - it really grossed us both out. No napkins? At least we weren't like the couple sitting next to us who had a bottle of wine knocked over on them by the server.
Food was mediocre, it wasn't mind-blowing, but it wasn't terrible. Strikes me as a simple case of "let's elevate our food by putting truffle oil on it!"
Overall, it felt really overpriced for a less-than stellar experience. Overly pretentious and not offering a true fine-dining experience.
Save your money. Go to Fresh on Front.
Nice vegan menu. Excellent wine program, service, and room.
I was emailed and texted to confirm my reservation, so clearly Planta had my information, but was not contacted to be notified that there was no HEAT in the restaurant. I was treating my friend to a birthday lunch and was embarrassed not only that we were freezing, wearing our coats - the table next to us had been provided blankets - but that I was not given advance notification so I could have taken her somewhere else and come back to Planta another time. No credit was applied and I just found the experience embarrassing and off-putting. The food was it's usual, amazing, but I was baffled and embarrassed as my family is in the hospitality business and this is not how they would have managed this.
No heat - a temporary but very real problem on a very cold winter night. But the staff took steps to accommodate, and the food was quite nice. And to be clear, the lack of heat will soon be remedied, we were told. Dessert was a knock-out!
Freezing cold in restaurant.
The heat hasn’t been working for a while apparently, we had cozy blankets to keep warm under, but our tea or coffee should have been free or something. We were all freezing by the end.
Planta is always a great place for cocktails and catching up with friends over an incredible dinner!
We are vegans and went to Planta for date night. We loved it! In fact, we are going again with friends less than a week later.
My only criticism is that it is somewhat pricey, which I didn't mind except for the appetizers. We had the tacos and the friend tofu which were small portions and not nearly as exciting or special as the AMAZING main dishes.
We had the burger (unreal) and the Spaghetti and 'meat' balls (delicious and not too heavy).
We also had the fried rice with broccoli and the cookie which were both the stars of the show!
SO fun, so chic, a great experience!
Amazing food
Amazing service
Is definitely going to become one of my new regular places
Another great lunch at Planta. Yummy burger and fries and friendly service. Great lunch time option.
Amazing food. Very rushed experience though.
Pizza was pretty good, everything else quite mediocre.
Food was great. Our table was close to the door so very cold.
Was amazing - Im not vegan but I enjoyed this so much I would go back - the dishes they created are so flavorful and not at all a traditional vegan restaurant - actually feels high end
We had pizza and a few appetizers such as the cauli bites, and it was such a memorable meal! So tasty and I wish this was closer by so I could go more often. Also such a good wine list!
The food was good but the portion tiny given the price. I got a hot water and the waitress never refilled my cup even though I emptied it halfway through the meal. The door to the restaurant was extremely heavy so I almost thought the main and only entrance was closed. The noise level was very high which was surprising because based on the decor I thought noise level would be at most medium.
I have always enjoyed Planta been there about half a dozen times and I love the Thai bowl. However, this time it was literally drowning in dressing I could not eat about a third of it. Also I nearly cracked a tooth on a very hard kernel that was in the dish. Was a bit disappointed will consider whether I will be back.
So refreshing to go out for a meal without worrying about having meat, dairy or eggs. So many delicious choices. Will definitely be back, this place is vegan heaven, with lots of tasty choices for all palates.
Good food, good atmosphere, good service, I will recommend this restaurant to my friends
The food is good but VERY overpriced. 12$ for a bowl of oatmeal and 20$ for a simple burger and fries.
Great except how close together the tables for two are.
Loved every dish we ordered. Great food from apps to desserts!
Great food, slow service but was a busy Friday night. Took parents out for nice vegan meal
Our server Marisa was awesome and I loved the DJ. What a great night
Great food and great service!
