The Plot is THE restaurant to visit in Oceanside! I loved my time here and I highly recommend visiting to try out the food.
They have a very unique concept of renewable farming and sustainable gardening. There's plenty of indoor seating (the interior is lovely) and outdoor seating that integrates with the garden.
The garden is available for customers to walk around. It's amazing to see how they've efficiently grown so much in a limited space. The Plot also has $5 plants you can purchase for home-gardening.
Their eggplants are in season. Freshly harvested from the garden, I tried the panko crusted charcoal roasted eggplant - it was beautiful, delicious, creative and everything wonderful packed into a dish. It was topped with a very unique, naturally salty plant called the asparagus of the sea (I've literally never had it anywhere else besides here). I also tried the c word (which is wine braised cabbage), the beet ruben sandwich, and the mushroom toast. Everything was SO GOOD!
The service is also on another level. I felt genuine kindness and happiness exuding from the staff. Whatever they are doing, they are doing it right.
I was a bit sad to see that it wasn't bustling on a Sunday brunch. This is a must visit in Oceanside!! read more
