rev:text	Grassroots bills itself as a modern elegant twist on southern cuisine. From a decor and menu perspective, it hits on both notes. Unfortunately, it misses badly on the food. My wife ordered a salad with very lightly seared Ahi tuna. While it looked great on paper, she found it relatively tasteless. The tuna wasn't seasoned and the salad included goat cheese, radishes and field greens. She indicated that since this was a special order, I shouldn't put too much weight on her dish. One of our dinner guests ordered the poki appetizer. I prefer poki to be lightly seasoned and leaning towards a citrus flavor. This was sweet (IMO too sweet) and not particularly inspired. My wife and I both agreed that we have had better at local fast food poki bars. I ordered the lobster bisque appetizer and the shrimp and grits entree. Unfortunately, both fell flat. While the bisque was creamy and nicely seasoned, it didn't have that velvet feeling of a perfect bisque. It was also missing any hint of lobster. I know there are schools of thought that say you shouldn't have pieces of the protein in a bisque, I personally consider it a cardinal sin. Another of our dinner guests ordered the short ribs. I thought the rib was tasty but if I had to guess, it would have needed another couple of hours in the slow cooker. It just wasn't sufficient tender. My entree was the true disappointment of the evening. For perspective, I love love love good grits. I consider them the poor man's risotto. They need to be cooked for the right amount of time and served immediately after cooking. If you wait, they turn into a mushy paste. That's where this dish started. I never leave over grits and this time, I couldn't get past a few bits. The dish actually went down hill from there. The shrimp, which should have been the star of the show, were overcooked salt bombs. I hungry enough to finish them but I'd never try them again nor would I recommend them. This is not a particularly complex dish but it does require some care and timing. Neither was apparent last night. Overall, the atmosphere is good and the service was solid. But the real reason you go to a restaurant is the food and Grassroots just didn't cut it last night.
