Went to Roots for the first time and had lunch with a friend. We both had the salad with lemon, pickled red onions and avocado and added salmon. It was delicious, and the service was fast and friendly. We sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful day, so I can't say much about the inside. Oh, and don't be intimidated by the parking...there's a small deck, too, so you should be OK (unlike other Southend eateries).
