[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting - my vegan niece loves it, particularly because it has so much variety of cuisines for her.  Most restaurants hardly have any options for vegans so I think they have a different perspective on the mix of cuisines.

She especially likes the vegan sushi options.  [/quote]

I'm sure Planta has many fans, but the menu is very unfocused, which leads to a disjointed eating experience and lack of complimentary flavor profiles. A table of diners eating french onion soup, vegan sushi, and pizza would feel chaotic - it would feel like a potluck. [b]Which is fine for a lot of diners, but the more you dine out, the more you notice these things.[/b] Not to mention that the kitchen staff has to juggle so many different ingredients and flavors, so it's hard to do them all well. Good restaurants plan their menu like a piece of music - it flows, it has high and low notes, and most of all, the dishes complement and augment each other. To give an example of a more tightly conceived menu that is still global, look at this vegan restaurant in sf, called Wildseed. It's still eclectic, but you could imagine a table of diners eating different dishes that looks like a cohesive collection of plates.

Look its not a michelin-rated restaurant. Does it need to be? You picked the top-rated restaurant in SF...[/quote]
