    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.

    This is one of the best vegan restaurants in San Diego County. I've probably go to The Plot - Oceanside at least once a month. Delicious food, great ambience and service. Everything is so flavorful and the dishes are all unique. I take all my non-vegan friends there and everyone loves it!!

    Drove down from LA. It was extremely busy as I went on Mothers Day, but the service was still great. I really enjoyed my food. I had the sausage biscuits. It didn’t look like any sausage biscuits I’d ever seen before: it was BOUGIE 😂 It was elevated and delicious. For dessert I had a special of the day: key lime pie. Also, very good. The prices are more than fair. Overall I enjoyed it and look forward to going back any chance I get.

    Our party of 5 waited 30 minutes for the food to arrive. The eggplant sandwich was the only dish that was enjoyed. Drinks were served with large, random leaves of chard, sweet pickles and micro greens. Once served, our table was ignored and we had to track down a server in order to pay the tab.

    Plant Scape - Truly a Boundary Bending Dinner was an experience that was also mind bending. Veggies, mushrooms, beets (lots of beets), potatoes, cauliflower, radishes...... All used in the most creative way. The purple cauliflower with karage was a standout, as was the shitake mushroom meatballs, and the radish tuna. Weird, but "good weird". Service was outstanding. They were booked, lots of food coming out, but it was like a perfectly choreographed dance. Lovely special event. We will do it again. Seats are uncomfortable, but I have a skinny A$$!!

    Went to plant scape last night at the plot. What an incredibly amazing experience. The food is always wonderful but this night Dave was epic. The presentation stellar, the flavors exquisite, the service impeccable. I personally am not a vegan, but make the plot a regular dining experience at least monthly. thank you to Jessica and her team for another wonderful evening.

    This is one of my favorite North County vegan restaurants. I've brought non-vegans here and so far, all of them have enjoyed the food. Especially the Caesar salad and the chicken and waffles. I love going for dinner because they sometimes have a yummy eggplant parmesan. So delicious! I love that they grow many of the veggies right there at the restaurant and try to minimize food waste.

    I love this place. Being Vegan it's great to be able to have anything on the menu but our non-vegan friends enjoyed their meals as much as they would at a 'regular' restaurant. The Plot never fails to serve exciting plant based dishes, from the sushi to the sweet potato gnocchi every dish was superb. We will be back.

    The Plot is a fantastic place to go if you are plant based. The Plot is also a fantastic place to go if you aren’t! Every item on the me at is creatively packed with flavor, and even my meat-eating friends have enjoyed it. Service was fast and friendly, the mood was casual yet nice, and the food is very fresh, not heavily processed vegan meat substitutes. Thank you - we keep coming back for a reason!
