    Our experience at Southern roots was mixed. Our appetizer tomato pie was delicious and my sister’s entrée of mushroom risotto was equally tasty. I ordered the snapper with crawfish sauce and could not eat it. The piece of snapper was a thick rectangle and curled. It was tough and did not have any flavor. I did ask for the crawfish sauce on the side, but that was thick and unflavored full also.  we enjoyed our waiter, but I was surprised that he did not notice that I did not eat the majority of my food. I probably would not eat here again.

    Dear Merrette, Thank you again for your feedback and for taking the time to speak with me directly. While I’m glad parts of your meal were enjoyable, I’m truly sorry the snapper didn’t meet expectations. Your experience matters deeply to us, and I’ve shared your comments with our culinary team so we can continue to improve. We appreciate your honesty and the opportunity to learn from this. Should you choose to visit us again, I’d love the chance to personally ensure a much better experience. Warm regards, Susan M

    Gumbo was great! Salad was great! Wine by the glass was very small pour. I ordered the wrong thing. Redfish had crawfish which indont like but still tasted nice. Just very rich. Jordan, Juliette and Emma all really took very good care of me. Food was presented nicely. I will return to Southern Roots again when I am in the neighborhood.
