Plant Food + Wine

I recently had the pleasure of dining here, and I must say it was an unforgettable experience. The menu was a culinary adventure, offering a variety of innovative and delicious plant-based dishes that were beautifully presented. Each dish was a work of art, with a perfect balance of flavors and textures that left me wanting more. The highlight of the meal was the dessert, which was not only visually stunning but also incredibly delicious. I couldn't believe that vegan food could taste this good! The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who were knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations. The ambiance was cozy and romantic, making it a perfect spot for a date or a special occasion. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable dining experience. The food, service, and ambiance were all exceptional, and I can't wait to go back again soon!

Simple menu of well crafted vegan plates. Food was flavorful. The wine list is hand picked and appropriate for the dishes. Service was very helpful, fun, and efficient. Lovely atmosphere, especially in the back patio. Price to value ratio was unbalanced, very expensive for relatively simple plates.

I wanted to love this place. It’s easily a 5/5 on ambiance, making it feel like a place to celebrate something special. The details — from the cat in the yard (Maitaki) to the stunning dishwater — make it feel canonically Venice. However, the Thai curry left me wanting something more distinctive. It felt bland — it is seemed like a lost opportunity for the team to create something memorable. On the other hand, the cream pie was a brilliant minimalistic masterpiece. Next time I return, I’ll probably go for drinks and dessert only. But I do recommend that every vegan in LA give this iconic restaurant a go.

Umm. Sorry, no for dinner. Prices are too high, quantity are small. I know this is a plant based spot but Flavors could be better developed. (Sestina for eg does a better job) This spot, especially outside has a romantic ambience so we went for Mother’s Day. Malbecs were not so great, and we literally left after trying 3 of their items. Two of the three were mains, the cauliflower dish was better than the other two we ordered. We ended up with a pretty large check, hungry and disappointed. Even the presentation could be better. Next time, I am going next door to Felix or Butchers Daughter for dinner. Maybe we ordered the wrong stuff or perhaps their lunch items are cheaper, but in any case, customer beware.

First, we were greeted by a very sweet & beautiful hostess. She had fantastic style we well! Sara our server made this quite the most pleasant experience. Besides the quality of service she provided, she was knowledgeable about all the items on the menu & did a superb job at recommending all of the delicious food that we ordered. Food was a little on the pricey side but I cant complain as I did not end up paying for it; surprise treat from my friend. Either way, worth the price even if I did. We ordered a handful of items off the menu, some my buddy knew from previous experience & some came from Sara's recommendations. All in all, can't wait to go back! Thank you for everything!

Reservation experience: Made a reservation on Yelp, on the same day for Saturday evening, a few hours out. Ambience: The place outside is unassuming. The restaurants next to it have seating on the sidewalk, so when you approach plant food+wine, it may look like you’re not in a place with a lot of bustle. Wait till you are inside. It is a home style restaurant and if you can, try and get seated in the garbed section. Food: I liked the kimchi dumplings. I thought they were good but I couldn’t really taste the kimchi. The cashew raclette would have been good, if not for some boiled pieces of potato added in. It also didn’t pack a flavorful punch. It was quite subtle. The racklette was supposed to come with sourdough bread and while this was a good bread, it was not sourdough. May be San Francisco has me spoiled but I know a good sourdough when I taste one. I ordered raw zucchini lasagna and while the taste was good and I liked the experimentation, I’m not sure if it was worth the money. My friend absolutely was not a fan of the maitake mushroom over peas. With the experience we had, we didn’t even bother getting dessert. Wait staff: Absolutely amazing wait staff. I enjoyed our interaction and their recommendations. Value for money: NOPE. Your money is better spent elsewhere.

Went to a birthday celebration with a group of non vegans and was pleasantly surprised by the selection. Between the 6 of us, we ordered 7 items plus 2 desserts and shared them. My favorite was the kimchi dumplings and celeriac. I definitely prefer the hot dishes more than the cold. The 6 of us all thought the food was great and would like to go back there again!

I've been a vegetarian for 35 years. (Okay I just almost fainted at the realization of how long it's been...) I love restaurants that have good options for vegetarians, and I TREASURE restaurants that offer exclusively vegetarian options, especially a fine dining experience that isn't a miso-mash of wraps, falafel and other items that seemed like a good idea because they didn't contain meat. Plant Food + Wine is a really good, fine dining experience for any vegetarian or vegan where we mostly enjoyed what we got, and appreciated the artistry that went into it. There outdoor seating area is lovely and preferred by most (as best we could tell) but we're not fans of discernible temperatures or wind so we sat inside which was also comfortable. My wife and I shared 4 items. We had the Baked Raclette, Kimchi Dumplings, Artisanal Cheese Plate, and Trumpet Mushrooms (and there's a lot more to choose from, much of which is also gluten free.) We especially loved the mushroom dish, it was the heartiest and freshest of the lot with a nice alfredo-like sauce creating a wonderful and satisfying eating experience. The dumplings were good, but we got it in our head, as dumplings often are, that they'd be warm and it was a cold dish...so good on it's own terms but not what we'd hoped for. The fill-in was also "cream-cheesy" which overlapped a lot in texture with what was on the cheese plate...so we felt like we had too much "faux cheese" going on The dumplings flavor was good, but we would have liked more of a vegetables based texture of some kind. These cheese plate...Full disclosure – I eat cheese. I like cheese. I have yet to meet a vegan cheese that really does the job. These looked gorgeous but were mostly similar in taste and texture – again more cream-cheesy (if you will) than hard or soft-cheesy which is what you really want on a cheese plate. The Panda Cotta we had for desert was DELICIOUS. We demolished it and very much appreciated the taste and texture. Well done. We definitely didn't leave hungry, and enjoyed much of what we ate. There's a lot more to try so we'll be back at some point.
