    Fantastic experience. Carissa took great care of us and explained the drinks and food and offered her recommendations. Everything tasted delicious- definitely recommend the “sushi” roll! We were big fans of Chef Tanya and her Native Foods restaurant and were deeply disappointed when it went away. The Plot takes it to a new level of flavors and ingredients— Will definitely be back.

    The Plot in Costa Mesa is set in a large circular building with relaxing colors and decor. The food is deliciously pleasing to the senses and filling. The service is paced and served hot. I enjoyed sharing different menu items.

    We just love the Plot! The food is always delicious and the service is very friendly and nice. I loved the music they were playing also. Not too loud not to soft I do wish they would have some more comfort foods and some less healthy choices like Mac and cheezzz or some more rich decadent pasta. I would also love it if they would change the menu up a little more often but I shouldn’t complain. The food is great choice for vegans as well as non vegans. You definitely need to eat at the plot in Costa Mesa!

    The truffle fries and sushi were absolutely delicious. However, the large plates were a bit disappointing, so I would recommend this place for a light meal if you’re planning to go.
