| - The decor is luxe and the service is solid (dem baseball shirts tho), but ultimately Planta offers just okay and often gimmicky food at a very steep price.
We started with the cauliflower tots, which were pretty tasty but SUCH a tiny portion to share for around $10. Watermelon poke ($13.25) was nice, but mostly just tastes like watermelon soaked in soy sauce. Not worth it. Fried kimchi dumplings ($10.25) were just that, I guess this would be more interesting to someone who doesn't eat kimchi regularly. The carrot dog ($17.25) was bullshit. We got it just to find out if it was a joke or actually good. It is literally carrots in hot dog buns, and all you taste is the pickle. Such an expensive joke. Habibi salad ($17.25) was good, probably the best dish we had but not quite worth going back for. Nice textures and flavors that worked well together. We split a chocolate terrarium to finish it off, which was good but not that interesting. Drink-wise, I had the tequila juice drink. Weak, I kind of wanted to ask if they had even remembered to add the shot.
Overall, I'm glad we went just to get past all the hype. Food was generally decent, but not even close to the quality or creativity level I'd expect for what they're charging.
