Sad service but excellent food! Check your bill - we were overcharged for happy hour items. - Edit
Over the phone, we were told that we couldn't make a reservation for our group of nine. We decided to take our chances and arrived right at 5:00 p.m. The restaurant was empty, yet the hostess said we could only sit at the bar. After some time, they took us to one of the many empty tables. We waited about 20 minutes before anyone came to take our drink order, in spite of the restaurant being empty. At least 10 people who appeared to be service staff stood around doing nothing. The amount of time was so long that we considered leaving and going somewhere else.
Read moreOnce a server finally came to our table, the service was delightful, and the food was incredible. However, several of the food and beverage items we ordered were totally unavailable, which made us concerned that this location would also soon go out of business.
Unfortunately, after getting home and reviewing the bill, we see that the happy hour items were all charged at full price. We had happy hour menus at our table that had the lower prices and made it clear we were ordering from the happy hour menu, so I'm not sure how this happened, but it is quite unfortunate since we are a nonprofit group. Make sure that you review your bill thoroughly before paying! We did very much enjoy the food - everyone's favorite was the Bang Bang Broccoli!
Pros: 100% vegan;, Unique, delicious food items;, Beautiful decor and ambience.
Cons: Does not take reservations for large groups;, Very unwelcoming hostess;, Several menu items (food and drink) unavailable.

Incredible! Loved every bite 💚 - Edit
We opted for a delivery at the hotel and ordered the kale Caesar salad which was incredible, honestly I was blown away. We also had avocado sushi and fried broccoli which came with a delicious peanut sauce. Will definitely come back the next time I’m in Washington DC.!

Best Birthday Experience!! - Edit
After finding out about this restaurant months ago, I have DREAMT of eating here. My birthday was the PERFECT time to go here! I was welcomed by staff and had an accommodated menu for those who are GF or allergic to wheat like me. I got to try the General D’s Cauliflower dish, and OH MY GOSH! I downed that dish because that was the most delicious thing I’ve had all weekend…the sweet chili really brought everything together; the breaded cauliflower was the star of the entire dish! For dessert, I had the matcha cheesecake, and it was heaven in my mouth! What made it even more special, the staff brought it out with a sparkler, making it a highlight of my birthday dinner! I’m definitely coming back to try other GF dishes, along trying out other PLANTA locations within the DMV! THANK YOU PLANTA QUEEN FOR MAKING MY BIRTHDAY SPECIAL!!! Y’ALL ARE AMAZING!!! 🤍

Unique - Edit
We bought a few of the appetizers and main dishes. The combinations are very creative and all taste great. The place is on the pricey side and portions are not too big but the taste makes it absolutely worth it.

Plleasant dinner - Edit
I had a lovely dinner here. The setting was very nice. The menu, now the same across the district's Planta, offered many varied options. The dessert menu was unique to each though. The banana pudding was great. Service was attentive.

Server was super nice and she checked up on us often. I already visited Queen in Toronto so I tried some new dishes. They were all so good and fun 🥰

I enjoyed this place - Edit
So, I have visited Planta restaurants in multiple states (typically Atlanta). When I saw one here near my hotel in Georgetown I was very excited. I am 100% plant-based and I enjoyed finding the best vegan restaurants around the world. This restaurant is very good. I've gone twice since being here and even took a few non-vegan friends with me. They were very nervous but ended up very happily surprised. We ordered dragon rolls, volcano rolls, kale ceasar, a chickpea tofu dish, fried mushrooms, dessert and more (can't remember all of the names). It was great. The drinks at Planta are always good as well. Honestly, I was originally nervous because the Planta Queen in Atlanta greatly disappointed (not to be confused with Planta in Inman Park in Atlanta - my favorite overall restaurant). This one in DC saved the Planta Queen brand for me. Oh, and the employees here (and Planta Inman - Atlanta) are always wonderful. I recommend attending and taking your friends. You'll be a hit!

Sushi all kinds

I would it like more desert options
The service it’s always rushing and not to happy to serve
Also making reservations it’s like not making one, you always have to wait at least 30’ until they give you a table.

Husband and I went here for an elevated date night and we loved it! Doesn’t have to be elevated to be here- but the food, cocktails, and staff are incredible. We had some seasonal specials, which we loved, and some tried and true menu items. Couldn’t help but stay for dessert. We’ll be back!
