• My Favorite Restaurant

I can honestly say Roots is my all time favorite restaurant ever. Mostly because of the community I feel when going there but also because they are the only restaurant in town you can go to get an ethically produced meal without other aspects of the restaurant compromising itself for marketing purposes. I've been a patron of Roots many years now and I have seen them grow. Ryan's ideals where great but he was too nice at times and was not always the best person when it came to finances and hiring people. Since the change of ownership the quality of the staff has gotten not just better but actually great. They are friendly and helpful not the 20 minutes waiting to be served and the sometimes snotty attitudes often I got before. The food as also improved with many new asian dishes. The Tom Ka, Pad Thai, and Green curry are all out of this world fantastic. Tuk Ta is an amazing cook and one of the most compassionate woman I know. She always a smile and kind word to say. Today I had the biscuits and gravy which yes are vegan. They were smaller than the portions I remembered before which honestly were too much for me and I felt guilty about wasting them or a the take home container. This time the biscuits weren't rocks which has happened a few times under past ownership. The sage gravy was incredible as well as the potato cake was honestly the best I have had yet. Andy who is one of the new owners along with Tuk Ta knows how to hire and has hired some real quality staff remembers. I am on a first name basis with them all and look forward to my visits. I sure hope vegetarians and vegans remember to vote with their dollars because Root's is a rarity in these parts and if we are mindful to feed what is compassionate and good it will help set the stage for others like it. Personally when I do chose to go out to eat I eat at Roots about 70-80 percent of the time because I understand how powerful where we put our dollars can be. Peace and blessings to any who read this : )
