The food was great; however, they were out of stock of all the sushi when we arrived which was a bummer. The “beef” with broccoli and Singapore noodles were fantastic. The 1000 layer potato’s were also very delicious, and they add a curious “caviar” that goes perfectly with them. The service wasn’t so great for us.
The bad: The food didn’t arrive all at once so we had to wait between entrees. The air conditioning was too high and my husband had to get my sweater because it was an icebox.

Spectacular food!!! If you are ever in a city that has a Planta restaurant, just GO!!!! Sushi with mushroom unagi, sweet potato , avocado etc… , thai lettuce wraps, sweet cauliflower, black bean/lentil burgers, chipotle bowl with added “ steak”
My boys tried everything and loved it!

Fancy restaurant with many delicious options. Staff was super friendly and helpful.
Drinks where very good.
A bit expensive, but worth it.

Everything was so good. Rueben burger and sushis are really good. Highly recommended

My first time here and I brought my carnivore son. He was skeptical but we were celebrating Mother’s Day so he didn’t complain. We both loved our food. And he said he would come back again. We started with some yummy mocktails and the potato skin appetizer. It was amazing!
I had the Thai lettuce wraps and we shared the brownie for dessert. With not many vegan restaurants nearby,, It was just so wonderful to be able to choose anything on the menu. Service was great too. I can’t wait to return.

On a major pedestrian road with thousands of people crowding restaurants, THIS is the move. Very private & secluded from the hustle of the main road, this place has everything.
It is a little pricey but the food you get is great! Our servers were so attentive and kind, they were the best. Our guacamole dip was phenomenal, the truffle fried rice was a very good option too, and the dragon roll was tasty but not as filling as I hoped. For $15 maki rolls, I’d go all-in and get the Volcano roll. We got the matcha cheesecake that I will spend the rest of my life fantasizing about that dessert.

Food so good it's an experience. We had sushi- the watermelon tuna amazing-- but eggplant eel straight up blew my mind. Lettuce wraps ok, but general tsos cauliflower incredible. Wasn't able to try the tartar, but i guess that leaves something to go back for. Carrot cake was also great and massive slice. Left feeling very full and satisfied.

The other Plantas are fresh. We ordered sushi which was cold like it had been refrigerated. For the price the items should be fresh.

The food is amazing with really cool seasonal items! The place is also shockingly beautiful. My husband and I have been coming here with friends and relatives, as well as ordering take out. Always meets the highest standard!
NEW: I am soooooo disappointed in our last SEVEN experiences across FTL and WPB locations. It's been honestly so so so so disrespectful the way we have been treated. The last few times I went, I was waiting for soooo long for food while others around me came and went. Like. Literally. Came after me, and went. I mean, what is that? And that's not a holiday, it's on a regular day. Speaking of a holiday, on Valentine's Day, I called ahead because we had a late reservation and I said, "Are you sure about this time because last year, you ran out of food and I didn't get to have everything on the pre-fixe menu with a 6pm reservation" the guy assured me that they were stocked and prepared. We came for our reservation - I came 20 minutes earlier than our reservation. I had to wait in line for 20+ minutes to get a table. Then I was seated at 71 (under a tree on the end of the curb. I asked the person seating me, "am I going to be forgotten here?" She assured me that they have a server dedicated to only the outdoor tables. Some food items were already out of stock. It took us TWO HOURS to get food. And it came warm (not hot), sloppy, not made properly. Like, I paid $19 for a cheeseboard that didn't come with the pre-fixe meal and you can see how sloppy it was given to us and how poor the serving size was. Like, that's literally how it was put on our table. Is that $19 worth?? Is that really what you'd expect from eating at an upscale restaurant like planta? The udon noodles were watery when usually they're in a delicious sauce. This was water with no salt. Had to hunt through the bowl to find the noodles since there was so much water. The manager came and apologized halfway through and gave us a $50 giftcard which was nice but obviously not enough to even cover 1 person's meal and even after that, we didn't get our food for another hour. By that time, the restaurant was practically empty, and we were STILL waiting for our food. Because I'm pretty sure they forgot about us. Our server didn't even come to refill our water. If they were backed up, then you know what, I don't blame the servers or the chefs. I blame management for putting that type of stress on them. I've pretty much decided that I'm not coming back here. I even have points but there's just no point in paying to be treated like trash.
OLD (while I still agree with how good the cake was, I will not eat there the rest of my life) : I could eat there every day for the rest of my life. Had to coconut cake (it's a secret February special) and it was delicious!

A great place for a date, a business meeting, or a family meal.
Incredible food, great atmosphere, and Mary was our server and she was the best!

I absolutely love the food at this restaurant and come back every time for this reason. However every time I come, the service is just awful. Today we waited 25 minutes after our reservation time to be seated, the time before they took an hour for the food to come out, another time there was an unexpected charge. Again the food is absolutely delicious, but beware the slow service. It happens to me every time and it can ruin the whole experience.
Edit: can't make this up, was just informed by the wait staff theyre out of half the menu including all the sushi, the only reason I came here. What a waste, this wasn't a close drive for us. GET IT TOGETHER PLANTA!

This place surprised me. I did not think I would like it, and I loved it. I am not a vegetarian, but wow, there is something for everyone. Every dish we tried, we were very impressed with. If you are in the area and you want to try something different, I would say it's a must.

Planta Ft. Lauderdale is one of my favorite locations! The atmosphere is always inviting, and the service is consistently top-notch. No matter what time of day I visit, I can always count on delicious, high-quality food and exceptional service. The consistency in both makes every experience enjoyable!
