    Fabulous food! Wonderfully fresh and inventive. An especially great place if anyone has food challenges. If we lived nearby, we would be back regularly! Loved touring the vegetable garden before our meal.

    I really wanted to love this place. It had great reviews, a nice atmosphere, and lovely service. The staff were friendly and inviting. However, the food was challenging to enjoy. My husband got the korean BBQ chicken which was good for the most part, but came with rice that tasted like it had been sitting out for hours. I got the biscuits and gravy. I hate to say it, but they were genuinely horrible. The taste was gross and the texture was terrible. I rarely feel this way about food and I genuinely am upset I didn't like it because everything else was so nice. However, I just can't justify eating somewhere if the food isn't going to be satisfactory.

    I’m not a vegetarian, but The Plot is rapidly becoming one of my favorite restaurants. It’s so nice to have brunch in a pleasant atmosphere in a place with lots of healthy options. For brunch, the patty melt in particular is amazing. For dinner, we like to get an assortment of their seasonal vegetable dishes. The service is always fantastic, they have such a friendly and attentive staff of lovely folks.
