| - I have been wanting to come here for a while and finally got my chance last weekend. We came in around 12pm on a Sunday. The place was empty but by the end of our meal, there were lots of other diners. I value organic and local ingredients and usually choose to dine at places that source this way; I am used to paying substantially for quality food, it is nothing new to me. However that being said, I think this place is extremely pricey. It is not a fancy-pants, upscale restaurant. It is casual, earthy and hippie. The prices do not gel with the atmosphere.
I ordered the Mediterranean Kale Salad with was a good size and very tasty and a cup of the soup of the day. My total for JUST me was something like $18. My 6 year old didn't feel predisposed to anything off of the kids menu, he is more of a 'rice and beans' kind of guy, and the only thing that appealed to him was a rice bowl which also cost $12. It was a nice sized portion although very salty, but it is RICE AND BEANS. There is no reason this should cost $12! It was at or below par with Chipotle, for twice the price. My partner got their Frisco Melt which he said was pretty good. For the 3 of us, our bill was over $50 for lunch!! Plus tip, we were out over $60. In my opinion, this is way too much.
The service was fine and the food decent, but I live right down the street from The Root and can feed my family a lunch for under $30, same quality. I may buy the coupon to come here again, but probably not.
