Coming at you live from our garden boat to talk all things Plantscape… 🌱
Chefs Davin and Travis are plotting the menu, and this round is all about bringing together two things that don’t usually share a plate: outdoor cooking and fine dining refinement.
For us, that means live fire, a little structure, a little chaos, and yes… a shopping cart. Because true refinement means knowing when to roll with it.
Plantscape is one week away, and we can’t wait for you to join us. Grab your tickets at the link in bio 🔥

Happy birthday to our CEO, co-founder, and the heart behind so much of what makes The Plot what it is, ❤️🌱

We’re so grateful for all that you do and so lucky to grow alongside you. Wishing you the happiest birthday, Jess ❤️🐞

The NEW TASTING MENU is LIVE 🔥
… but ever wonder where a menu starts? For this one, it began in Mexico — with Chef Davin and Chef Travis cooking alongside chefs they admire, soaking in new techniques, bold flavors, and a whole lot of inspiration. Chef Davin always feels like he comes back super rejuvenated when he cooks on the other side of the border. It’s an amazing reset for him, and energizes a fresh perspective that finds its way onto the plate.
We are so stoked for you to taste what our culinary team has created, including a: beetroot tartare, smoked carrotfish taco, mushroom adobada and a few more surprises along the way.
Available 7 nights a week for dinner, and we hope you love it as much as we do! 🌱❤️

Earth Day, every day! 🌱
We’re excited to share a quick update on — our nonprofit urban garden and food lab in South Oceanside, built to connect people to food, soil, and each other.
Right now, that vision is coming to life:
🌿 South O Alleyway Garden — almost done. What was once cracked concrete is becoming a thriving little oasis.
🌿 Tremont Street Garden — big progress. We’re transforming this stretch into a community lane where our neighbors can harvest fresh, nutrient dense produce for their home-cooked meals.
This work wouldn’t be possible without our volunteers, donors, and (for the soil!).
Come by, check it out, and be part of what we’re growing. We’re so grateful for all that the Earth gives us — the ability to grow, to nourish, and to feed our friends, family, and community.

What if the things we thought were imperfect were actually the best part? 🌱
We asked Chef what it means to be a restaurant that strives for total utilization, and for us, it’s about having the tools to work with everything — even the ingredients that don’t look “perfect.” Because a lot of the time, that’s where the real flavor is, and that’s what we love to highlight on our menu instead of letting it go to waste. That’s part of the fun, and the magic.
