| - I have been coming to this quite gem of a place for several months now. Grassroots is also owned by the same folks as Twisted Grove which is about 100 feet away.
What Grassroots lacks is snobbery and attitude, which is refreshing and often found in abundance in Old Town. Such a welcome change. The atmosphere can be described as a refined casual. You will not be blown away by flash and glitz and tuxedo clad servers where some self-entitled customer is attempting to impress his date or friends. What you will find is setting of warmth that is conducive to building a closeness, friendliness and intimacy that we all tend to seek when we share a meal with.
The menu may appear to be on the smaller side. However, there is enough breath in the selections to satisfy anyone's desire. Additionally, what seems to be a staple item within restaurants, Grassroots adds their own special flair to create something unique and make it their own. For example, their "boat load of wings" is balanced very well between the chicken and wing sauce. Whereas many restaurants tend to smoother the chicken with the sauce. The ahi tuna salad is as delicious as it looks. Furthermore, there is a consistency if the quality that will keep you returning
The glue that holds this establishment together is the staff. They truly set the tone her from the moment you walk through the door. Mangers Brittney and Shane will always greet you with a smile and humble enough to pitch in to help the servers. Behind the bar, you might find Tatum who is true gentleman. Also behind the bar you might find, Megan always attentive to the customer with a sparkling smile. Joe who is warm and engaging and be your best friend by the time you leave. On the floor, you might be lucky enough to meet Sarah who will keep you smiling throughout your meal.
Grassroots is very focused on the local market, catering to the locals cultivating repeat business, as opposed to the tourist and hipster crowds of Old Town. Owner Chris, has done an exceptional job of staff selection and training as each member of his team is customer focused. More impressive is that they very much appear to care about delivering a quality product and experience rather than delivering an image and collecting a pay check.
Closing notes: Try the Key Lime Pie, even share it if you must. Also, the clock on the wall behind the bar is not a real clock do not rely on it if you need to be somewhere (Guys, can we get a real one that fits into the decor?)
