| - Grassroots is awesome! I had been past here before and had enjoyed other restaurants in this complex, but this weekend was my first time trying grassroots. Went here to celebrate my birthday with my family, and I am happy I did!
We got there at about 4:30, and it was not busy at all yet, but for the hour we were there it got busier and busier and was pretty packed by the end. For a good reason too because the food was awesome! We started with the common grounds Burrata for happy hour. It comes with fresh mozzarella, tomato jam, dressed arugula, and bread. You kind of get to assemble your own Burrata toast, and it was so delicious. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. It was a challenge to not completely fill up on that alone. For my meal I got the portobello sandwich (sans mayo) with fries. I wasn't all that crazy about the fries because I prefer thicker fries, but the sandwich was good. The bread was definitely my favorite part, grilled focaccia!
The highlight of my meal by far was the toffee brownie topped with vanilla ice cream. It was really big too! Very chocolatey and delicious. The only issue we had was my dad's beer was warm and foamy, but luckily this issue was fixed! The server gave him a different beer and did not charge us for either! Also we weren't charged for the brownie because it was my birthday! So the service was excellent. Not to mention the atmosphere is nice too, plus we got a huge comfortable booth. I'd come back for sure!
