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.

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.

Waitress took a long time to greet us. The first set of drinks took at least 15 minutes. She took forever to take our order. Second round of drinks took even longer which was hard to understand why since the restaurant was empty. i have been there before, and service has always been slow. But this time was even more disappointing. If you want to have great service, The Plant is not the place to go.
