| - We went on Saturday March 31st 2018. Parking was easy and nearby. We had reserved online earlier in the week and had received a telephone confirmation, so it was a bit of surprise when we showed up and they didn't have our names on the list! After some initial confusion, we were seated shortly thereafter.
The inside of the restaurant was very nice with high ceilings, and some lovely green plants lining the right side of the wall. They also had a live DJ who was spinning some tunes that we liked.
The foods we enjoyed: The "Coconut ceviche" appetizer and the "Thai noodle" appetizer. They were very tasty and we recommend them.
The food we were impartial about: The "Sweet mess tacos". Messy and sweet yes, but maybe something tart needs to be in there. The bland taste of black beans, sweet potato, and corn is all we really tasted.
The foods we didn't care for: The "Planta burger" and the "Crab cakes". The vegan patty needed a little "Maggi" seasoning, along with a little cumin and "Allspice" seasoning to enhance the taste. Otherwise, the texture and meatiness were almost on point.
The crab cakes tasted too much like heart of palm, and Planta should consider call this something else. We did liked the effort they took to have it flake off in the manner of a real crab cake however.
The cocktails were not vegan of course, and after experimenting with some, I stuck to a rum and Planta's own tasty version of cola.
We may go back and try some other dishes, because we like the ambiance. If we do, we will update this review.
