We had the jerk Seitan and the "oysters" both were served with jalapeño red potatoes. The jerk seitan was served with collard greens which I never ate or even thought that I liked. We travel and try new vegan restaurants. This one rated as one of the best we have found. Go there as quickly as you can. Have the... More

We elected to go to this restaurant on arrival for our first evening in Asheville because it was only a few minutes walk from our B&B Inn. It was a Friday evening but the B&B managed to reserve a table for us. Neither my wife and I are vegan but we were vegetarians for many years and like any good... More

It's 3 a.m.,,,, I am tossing and turning still so bothered by what was a disastrous and overly expensive night out at this restaurant. It was "our bad" for including in our party of seven two children -- an 11 and 15 year old - who struggled with the menu. My feeling was that if the food is done well,... More

heavenly food and lot of vegan/vegetarian options. We had tomato soup, cinnamon roll, tofu noodle and key lime parfait ice cream. Everything was so fresh and flavorful. We are definitely going there again on next visit.

I wasn't sure what I was ordering or what the menu item descriptions were exactly. And I eat vegan usually. Four of us ordered different entrees, and all I can say is that none of us left a morsel on our plates. The gourmet preparation/presentation/taste was wonderful. We will go back when we visit the area again.

My husband and I are not exclusively vegetarians, but love fresh, innovatively prepared vegetable dishes and Plant did not disappoint. We had read rave reviews about the place and are so glad we decided to go. We had an incredible dinner and will definitely go back again. Even meat lovers will love this place! It is small, however, so best... More

My wife the vegetarian chose Plant even those it isn't in the downtown district. The meals were innovative and tasteful with quite a few choices. We were lucky to get a table on a Saturday evening without much advance notice as the place was crowded. Amazing to find such a place in a small town.

We had a great Meal here. We started with the lentil soup which was good and also the cheese plate. It was the best cheese plate we have ever had. They put a fusion of rosemary on top of the apple slices that just sets this apart from all other cheese plates. Then my husband had the "jerk" which was... More
