Plant Cafe Organic Burlingame

I made a reservation for 2 and my lunch date got caught in a traffic accident on 280. She was not able to get to the restaurant until over an hour after the initial reservation. The staff was kind and did not make me feel unwelcome occupying a table for over 2 hours.

We received a gift certificate from friends, but never ate at The Plant. We arrived at 5:15PM. There were approximately six patrons inside when we arrived for an early dinner. It looked like a nice place. We were seated and given our menus along with a glass of water. A few minutes later, our waitress come to our table to inform us that HALF the menu was not available: no pizzas and half of the daily specials were not available. How can you open for dinner with no food to serve? My wife's red curry dish/with chicken was not good. The curry was not a red curry sauce as described in the menu. It was dry paste that looked like it was scraped off of the side of the pan. There was a scant amount of chicken as well and her rice was luke warm. My wasabi burger had a good flavor; however, it should have been seared to hold it together, as well as too make it warm. Oh yeah, $8.00 for two small shiitake spring rolls. Sorry not going back.

The lunch fare was mediocre and the service was slow despite it not being particularly busy for a Friday afternoon. Thankfully, the company was good, which made a just okay lunch a much better experience. Their weekend brunch menu is much better.

We were seated on time. Food good. Service slow, ambience loud, very noisy.

Never disappointed...though the service in burlingame plant is much better than others. from the hostess to the server...fantastic. and never ever disappointed with the food. always fresh and healthy.
