Great vibe & vittles

This is a great spot for a night out on the town: gorgeous bar with creative craft cocktails, delicious and varied menu with something for everyone - every design element of the atmosphere & ambiance feels just as thought out as every item on the menu. You can come here whether you’re craving a snack or a meal - whether it’s sushi, noddles, salad, or just a drink.

Pros: Interesting options , Rad vibe, Fast service even when crowded

Cons: Expensive

Great review. I agree it is expensive compared to an average vegan restaurant. However, I compared to our old annual dinner in the city before going vegan, and it was roughly the same as Ruth's Chris or Joe's, without any harm to animals as a huge bonus! We did have two bottles of wine, and probably tried every roll, so way over ordered.

Wonderful variety, lacking service

I tried truffle fried rice, jackfruit wings and spinach dumplings - LOVED the subtle smoky, earthiness of each. Good non-alcoholic options and fast turnaround from order to table...but we had to ask for a sever twice and spent almost half an hour waiting for someone to just notice us. Also much more expensive for a few dishes than I thought.

There was a sort of pretentiousness in every interaction that rubbed my partner and I the wrong way. Again, good food but I wouldnt come back.

I hope you give the service another try, they really seemed to have figured it out since opening. Nick, our server was fantastic and we had numerous people clearing our table and bringing out dishes non stop.

We Wanted to Try Everything!

Weekend birthday brunch with Ube Mochi Waffles, Crispy Fluffy Berry French Toast, Warm Wonton Soup, Crunchy Chili Tofu, Kale Caesar, and Fried Sweet Potato Tater Tots. Almost everything was really really amazing. The restaurant and atmosphere is beautiful and enjoyable. The prices are pretty high, but I could see us coming back for a special occasion. It took us a while to figure out what we wanted because everything looked so good. You have to set reservations early in advance.

LOVE

My husband and I went here tonight to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We 100% made the right decision! The food was absolutely amazing and service was fantastic as well. We tried a few different things and both loved everything. I’m so glad I thought to make a reservation because they were SO busy!

Food was good with slow services

The food was good but nothing to write home about. The food services takes a long time from the kitchen, and the Waite staff was not attentive. There were times that them seemed to avoid eye contacts. I always had to raise my hand high to flag them down. I did take my time to enjoy my meal and it was not even about me rushing because I was short of time.
I overheard next table customer was a bit upset it took them so long to give their order. They said something like “We are here for lunch not dinner.” The Waite person replied, “ That is how we do it here.” Oh boy! I would be even more upset if they was said to me.

If they are slowing down the service to show customers that they are a very upscale restaurant that is not how to do it. It is to ready the body language of their guests and access the diner’s whole dining situation so to be attentive. Upscale restaurants treat their guests as they are the VIP, and it’s not to fit your “way” to every guests.

Why would I go out to dine and allowed restaurants to make me wait for my meal? Come on! After I told the waite person I am a bit tired so I like to order a dessert to go. I waited for a good 10-15 minutes. This was a late lunch hour so they were not busy at all.

Just okay.

Cocktails were great. Food was just okay. Our dragon roll had literal pieces of charcoal instead of broccoli tempura. The potato dumplings and wonton soup were standouts.

Could not get a glass of water until well after our food was served. Or a second spoon for our soup. And one of our cocktails was cleared while still half full.

Our experience in south beach was fantastic so we chose this location for our anniversary dinner and we were sadly disappointed.

Good, not great

We tried like ten different things; all of them were good but nothing was amazing, especially for the price. In a vegan centric city like Chicago, there are a lot of better options!

I love everything about this restaurant. So happy they opened up in Chicago.

Everything on the menu is bomb. Staff was great very helpful. The location is excellent and the interior was to die for.

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Chicago finally has another very good upscale vegan bistro.

I’ve eaten at other Planta locations (Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, NYC) and they are always spot on. No knock on Althea, which has been the only upscale vegan joint in Chicago for years. Althea is great. Now this is great, too.

My wife and I went with another couple, and we ordered heavy on starters and then we each got entrees. We shared everything family style. We finished with a couple of desserts. Everything was great. The food was fresh, interesting and fairly portioned.

Bring lots of cash, as it’s not cheap. Count on about $60-$75 per person, without alcohol.
