Have you met sea beans yet? 🌿🌊

Crunchy, salty, and packed with personality, sea beans (also known as samphire) are one of Chef ’s favorite ingredients to use!

Fun fact: Sea beans are one of the few vegetables that naturally contain omega-3 fatty acids, which play an important role in supporting brain and heart health. They also absorb minerals from the salty environments where they grow, giving them their signature briny crunch without needing much added salt.

Around here, you’ll find us adding them to some of our favorite dishes, including: our Plot Primavera, our crowd-favorite Panko-Crusted Charcoal Roasted Eggplant, and our OG Teriyaki Spam Bowl.

We love growing ingredients that surprise people, start conversations, and make their way from our garden to your plate.

Come give them a try… you might just find a new favorite. 💚

You asked. We listened. All aboard. 😎🚂🍑🍞

Our Peaches N’ Cream Dining Car French Toast is back this weekend! Stuffed with mascarpone, topped with fresh peaches, and finished with peach maple coulis, it’s everything you loved the first time around, and exactly what brunch should taste like in the middle of summer.

Come grab a seat at our table and get this while you can 🙌

It’s lunchtime… but we’re already thinking about dinner 🤩

Our current five-course tasting menu is inspired by Chef Davin and Chef Travis’ recent trip through Mexico, celebrating bold flavors, vibrant colors, and the incredible produce growing right here at The Plot Garden Project alongside ingredients from our hyper-local farming friends.

Think beetroot tartare with crispy capers and creamy egg yolk, our beloved smoked carrotfish taco with kimchi slaw and cilantro crema, shaved fennel with scratch-made wasabi and cara cara vinegar, mushroom adobada with blue masa cornbread, and an orange custard dessert with candied corn and celery ice to finish.

Five courses. Made from scratch. Thoughtfully paired. Inspired by travel, rooted in our community.

Available every evening from 4–9 PM, seven nights a week.

If you’re wondering what we’re having for dinner tonight… this is it. 🌿🍽️

FREE RANGE KIDS. Because the future is bright ☀️ 🌱

For July and August, kids 12 and under eat free with the purchase of an adult lunch, Monday through Thursday from 11–3.

Come spend the afternoon in the garden with us. Enjoy a meal, catch up with friends, and let the little ones stretch their legs, explore the garden, and enjoy a little fresh air.

Great food tastes even better when it’s shared, and we love seeing the garden filled with families, laughter, and community.

We’ll see you at lunch. 💚

Next stop: brunch 🚂🍑🍞

Before planes, there were dining cars… and apparently really good French toast.

Chef Davin’s bringing a little piece of that history to The Plot this weekend with our Peaches N’ Cream Dining Car French Toast… topped with fresh peaches, stuffed with mascarpone and finished with peach maple coulis.

It’s a weekend special for now… but if enough of you hop aboard, it might just stick around.

Come grab it while you can 😎

Salads don’t have to be boring, and they definitely don’t have to leave you hungry. 🌱🥗

A recent piece shared that research, including a study published in Circulation, found that eating plenty of fruits and vegetables may help people live longer by helping prevent or delay the onset of chronic disease. It also noted that most people fall short on both produce and fiber.

That’s why we like building salads with plenty of color, texture, greens, beans, seeds, fruit, and ingredients that make a meal feel as good as it tastes. Fiber from beans, greens, seeds, and produce helps make these bowls satisfying, while all those colorful plants bring their own mix of vitamins, protein building amino acids, and antioxidant-rich compounds to the plate.

Our Farmer Salad brings together kale from , red cabbage, seasonal fruit, onion, feta, h**p seeds, sunflower seeds, and goddess dressing… it’s crunchy, creamy, bright, savory, and full of texture.

Our Plot Primavera: three beans, shio koji and cara cara dressing, kombu tomatoes, shaved onions, pickled peppers, olives, cucumber, chicory, lentil bäcon, and sea beans. Fresh, punchy, salty, tangy, and packed with protein.

Simple, delicious food that fuels your day and gives your body something back… that’s what a meal should be. Come grab a salad and taste what we mean. ❤️

There’s something really special, and satisfying, about growing your own food. 🌱

You can taste the difference, and nothing compares to watching something you’ve planted go from seed to a fully grown vegetable, fruit, herb or leafy green — like kale.

Chef Davin spends hours in the garden every week: planting, watering, weeding, trimming, harvesting, and paying attention to what the garden needs and what might spark the next dish. It’s a lot of work and it doesn’t always look pretty… but it gives him and our culinary team the chance to grow delicious things, cook with them, and share them with you at the table. Feeding our friends, family, guests and community… that’s what makes it all worth it ❤️

The sun’s out and so are our tacos ☀️🥕

Smoked Carrotfish Tacos with kimchi slaw, cilantro crema, sweet potato mousse, and a fresh squeeze of lime are what we’re craving for lunch! Smoky, bright, a little creamy, a little tangy — basically everything we want in one bite!

They’ve been a crowd favorite for years and we honestly can’t get enough!

Come grab a couple, add a cold drink, soak up some sun, and hang with us! 🌱

Happy Father’s Day!! At The Plot, we spend a lot of time talking about growth. Gardens grow. Communities grow. Families grow…. and often, that growth begins with the people who lift us up.
 
Today we’re grateful for the dads, grandpas, mentors, and father figures who gave us strong roots, steady support, and the confidence to keep growing.
 
From our family to yours, thank you for helping us grow.
