   I made a reservation for 2 and my lunch date got caught in a traffic accident on 280. She was not able to get to the restaurant until over an hour after the initial reservation. The staff was kind and did not make me feel unwelcome occupying a table for over 2 hours.

   We received a gift certificate from friends, but never ate at The Plant. We arrived at 5:15PM. There were approximately six patrons inside when we arrived for an early dinner. It looked like a nice place. We were seated and given our menus along with a glass of water. A few minutes later, our waitress come to our table to inform us that HALF the menu was not available: no pizzas and half of the daily specials were not available. How can you open for dinner with no food to serve? My wife's red curry dish/with chicken was not good. The curry was not a red curry sauce as described in the menu. It was dry paste that looked like it was scraped off of the side of the pan. There was a scant amount of chicken as well and her rice was luke warm. My wasabi burger had a good flavor; however, it should have been seared to hold it together, as well as too make it warm. Oh yeah, $8.00 for two small shiitake spring rolls. Sorry not going back.

   The lunch fare was mediocre and the service was slow despite it not being particularly busy for a Friday afternoon. Thankfully, the company was good, which made a just okay lunch a much better experience. Their weekend brunch menu is much better.

   Great food and excellent service. We had a couple hiccups with our brunch drink orders, and the waiter took care of it immediately. Great neighborhood brunch/lunch place. Wish you had a location in Los Gatos. Oysters, full bar, organic food. Love it!

   The Plant locations in San Francisco are much better than the Burlingame location, which makes me sad as I used to live in SF and now I live on the Peninsula. I wish Peninsula restaurants could figure out how to replicate the service and food in SF. The food is mediocre at best at this location which is a bummer as there really aren't any other places like it in the area.

   I generally like the food here, as with other of their outlets, but the service was below par on this visit, probably because our server was new to the job. Food came out irregularly and a side dish was forgotten. Quality of food is adequate, given the menu choices, and it is nice to have so many vegetarian offerings available, but not really a destination type place. It is good for dropping in before or after a movie, as we did.

   The Plant Organic at any location delivers on their promise to have fresh and delicious foods. As a vegetarian, it is really nice to have so many options that still have loads of flavor. The staff is very courteous and prompt as well.

    I've been here several times. I'm the organic/gluten-free kind of person so it fits.... Food are tasty, their raw raspberry cheesecake is to die for! Love, love, love.... Their roasted chicken is good too. Needless to say, I'll be back.
