Donna Jean in Sherman Oaks

This is my first time to the Los Angeles location (already a big fan of the San Diego venue). This place is vegan gold.I had the Really Good Salad, which lives up to its name! I don’t typically order salads for my main course at restaurants, but I suspected that Donna Jean would knock this out of the park, and it did.The Pear Crisp was a delightful dessert. Donna Jean knows how to do coconut whipped cream the right way!The atmosphere is spacious and clean. The server was really nice, too. ☺️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had a lovely brunch here a couple weekends ago and really want to see this place stay open, so people PLEASE go check them out! Sherman Oaks is a little out of my way but it was worth the trek. The food was flavorful and the service was amazing. We all agreed that the lasagna was a highlight and dont skip out on the bread and garlic butter. We also enjoyed the frittata, pizza, and salad. Check this place out!! They were slow when we went and it made me sad.

Dine LA this year brought @liv_beautifulee and I to @donnajeanofficial ⚡️⛽️ 🍕 🍰 The meal was $35 a person and $20 corkage fee. We went with the Salad Days salad which was needing to be mixed a little to capture a sauce that was at the bottom. I 🥰 the Hot Shrooms! So🔥🤤 The Lasagna was cooked perfectly and tasted great. The Badmotorfinger pizza was incredible! The crust was perfection followed by solid ingredients. Dessert included the Chocolate Tart and Semolina Olive Oil Cake. If I had to only choose one, I’d choose both 😆 We would definitely want to go back!

Everything Ive tried has been delicious! Ive been here twice, including with non-vegans, and everyone really loved the meal. The Hot Shrooms, Fancy Garlic Fries, Lasagna, and If Trees Could Talk pizza were standouts.

To celebrate our birthdays, my vegan friend and I will try to find the absolute best vegan restaurants that we can. Last night we celebrated Kims birthday in style with a FANTASTIC meal!! Kale Caesar, skillet mac and cheese, and The Widow Pizza, followed by a birthday blondie. Each dish was incredible ~ layered tastes and textures, unusual combinations as well as comfort food perfected. I cannot recommend Donna Jeans enough!! (I didnt include a pic of the pizza as it didnt truly represent how delicious it was. Youll just have to order it yourself 😃) Very comfortable setting with superior service!

Foodie spot for sure. Every dish is elevated with flavors I wish I could figure out how to do at home. Chef Roy really cares about food and creating a fine dining experience. I came for the chefs table with Chef Miyoko Schinner, which was a ton of fun. I will be back for sure for brunch, dinner and learning how to make pizza. And the wait staff is so friendly and fast!!! Excellent service.

Full Italian Vegan restaurant in the valley! Family Friendly lots of great options! Minimal parking . . . Although they do have a Happy hour that starts from 5pm-7pm

Calm down kids. Overhyped. We received many recommendations from the female valley group a vegan and sophisticated place for a romantic date and went for brunch.Interior & Ambience:It’s a big open space with lots of indoor gardens on both sides and very prominent wooden bar and couple of Wooden tables. Some parts, a good design with plants wall decorations. The metallic cold tables and chairs were just unpleasant to sit on. Who stores kitchen ingredients in the dining space? Big minus, looked messy. Also temperature indoor was rather cool. The toilets temperature was unexplainable freezing.Music was relaxed, a neo jazzy tunes fits well the post-modern interior. Cool round entrance was very promising and as excellent graphic design at the menus with just a small selection of dishes.Service: needs to be worked on. Pity, but it’s another ‘wanna be’ plant-based gourmet restaurant without matching excellence in service experience. Either the music was too loud or the nice waitress was not hearing us well?This place is understaffed: only one waitress Maggie been holding it all on Sunday lunch. There was a bar person who awkwardly brought a cup of cafe without a spoon or sugar 😂. The apologetic waitress really tried to make it for us a nice experience: she refilled my orange juice and my partners coffee but it felt off.Food: Vegan Mac’n cheese was quite tasty but very sauce-heavy on its own. I ate whole salad to balance it out from my partner dish, that came with his delicious fennel frittata. The Indian Coriander chutney on the Italian-like menu? Meh… Thanks god my partner ordered delicious fingerling potatoes - it helped to round the lunch. Vegan pistachio cheesecake is a good treat to share. Now one hour after I’m hungry again and crunching on crackers after a 74$ bill. :(Would I come again for brunch? Rather not but I’d like to give another chance to the evening menu.What other plant-based spaces would you reader recommend?

This place is fantastic! Decadent and extremely flavorful vegan eats that cover a great mix of different pizza styles, pasta plates, salads, and appetizers. Their deserts are rich and yummy without being overwhelming. Weve also done their brunch, which is equally amazing.The best part is leaving the restaurant not feeling like we over ate; everything is well portioned and isnt padded out with fillers. Their vegan cheeses are surprisingly good - no plastic-y consistency or anything like that.They are at least as good, if not slightly better, than Sun Cafe and Follow Your Heart, which sets a very high bar! Easily one of the best vegan spots in the Valley, and better yet, one of the few that could easily please non-vegans with its excellent choices of pizzas and pastas.Bonus points for their T-shirts, which are modeled on AC/DC and Black Sabbath-style logos!

Having been to the location in San Diego and absolutely loving it, I was so eager to try this location when it opened!! Let me tell you it did not disappoint!! The garlic butter to dip your bread in is life changing - not kidding. We also ordered the hot shrooms, mac and cheese with truffle cream (simply amazing), the widow pizza, and the Nutella cheesecake for dessert. Everything we ordered was phenomenal! Flavors were all so decadent and fresh. So creative too! Such a cute space, service was exceptional - all the employees were so friendly. We even bought some homemade cheese from the fridge next to the bar. Cannot recommend this place enough! Will be back very soon!!!
