Roots BistroI had the Kale and AvocadoI had the Kale and Avocado salad and it was really good! Our waitress said that it's a secret recipe. I'm going to try and make it myself at home and see if I can emulate the taste!6/1/2013 12:00:00 AMAn unexpected treatWe really enjoyed our experience at Roots. Our waiter told us they are "farm to table" which you hear a lot of these days. But the vegetables at Roots really did shine. The kale and avocado salad was almost life changing and we loved the smoked mushrooms. We only ordered one entrée between the three of us, but had 8 or nine of the small plates. It was a great meal.5/23/2013 12:00:00 AMRadishes...I took my wife there for our anniversary, she was skeptical at first glance, but as soon as we
had the radishes, she was all in. The menu definitely isn't a book but its not the quanity, it's the quality they produce.
Check it out and you will not be dissapointed... They had $1 lone star beers that night, which was a double bonus.5/17/2013 12:00:00 AMCute placeWe have been here twice, and we are taking some friends there this weekend. Why? Local grown, organic food, hip decor, not too crowded or noisy. We really like the veggie flatbread. Last time there, we split that and a salad, and that was plenty. Try it!5/17/2013 12:00:00 AMCreative and Solid QualityThe meal was very good, not excellent. It would have been excellent, but my Pork Chop was extremely fatty. All of the side dishes were excellent and the wine list includes several unique and reasonable options.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent service!You can't go wrong here. The people and food are wonderful.5/2/2013 12:00:00 AMAbsolutely amazing, freshAbsolutely amazing, fresh food. Mostly vegetarian.

The salads are large (good to share) and very healthy. I always feel good eating dark greens. Pizza is good and the market fish was delicious. Enjoy this place!4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent dining experience.Excellent dining experience. Chef's use of local ingredients with proper seasoning makes for a unique tasting. Presentation also gets high marks.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMPleasant Evening at RootsWe were pleasantly surprised by our first visit to Roots Bistro. While the menu is relatively small, it had items that pleased even our picky teenager. The tomato and mozzarella was fabulous (like a warm caprese salad). The pork chop with polenta and vegetables was also tasty, although the meat was a bit tough. The mac-n-cheese was a lovely grown up version of a classic dish. The main disappointment regarding the food was a "roots" vegetable appetizer that was recommended by our server. While it had some nice flavors, it was too spicy for us to finish. (Normally, we like spicy food, but too much heat for this dish.) Service was pleasant and efficient. The wine list is both interesting and affordable.4/12/2013 12:00:00 AMFun birthday celebrationWent for a friends birthday. The food was excellent and they were very accommodating for our birthday girl. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.4/2/2013 12:00:00 AMGood, but inconsistentThe restaurant looks great. The food is good, but not consistent. Two people at our table ordered the same dish (pork hash). One dish had mostly potatoes and just a little pork. The other dish had mostly pork and 3 small bites of potatoes. The food all tasted good, but there was a little too much going on.3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMRoots Bistro a Real FindWe were pressed for a time before going to see a concert. The staff was spot on without feeling ever hurried. The food was wonderful, and my wife and I are definitely going back. She had a well-prepared and delicious filet. I had a seafood risotto with a great array of flavors. We topped it off with a fun pinotage wine.3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMLOVE that they had both aLOVE that they had both a raw dish for me and a beef filet for my husband. One of the only places that one of us doesn't have to compromise. The raw dish was amazing! Didn't taste the beef but was told it was "ridiculously amazing".3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMWonderful, local sourced,Wonderful, local sourced, organic and delicious.
