  • Grassroots is right around the corner and we drive by it every week on our usual Friday-Dinner-Out. I always assumed it was more of a pub than a restaurant. My wife and I arrived around 5:00pm and were seated immediately. The waiter was super attentive and knew the menu and preparation of everything I asked about. We started with an AMAZING appetizer special of burrata* with ciabatta tips, their house spicy tomato jam and arugula with champagne vinaigrette. It was described as a sort of an experimental combination of preparations from other dishes. The burrata was silky smooth and spreads onto the ciabatta like softened cream cheese. The play of flavors in this dish was excellent, we'd go back here just for this dish alone. My wife ordered the lobster bisque as her entree, which was smooth and creamy with a good lobster flavor. I suspect we could have asked for bread on the side, but it didn't come with it by default. I ordered the short ribs with roasted asparagus and jalapeno cheddar grits. The ribs were cooked just right, just a little pink and tender with a concentrated glaze of delicious sauce layered on top. The sauce had a light smoky flavor with a fair amount of saltiness, and appeared to be a long simmered reduction with bold flavor. As others have mentioned, the jalapeno grits are very good, not spicy by any means but a little crunch from the jalapeno pieces, creamy and well prepared. I strongly recommend the short ribs to anyone. We splurged with dessert of key lime pie and a banana split. The split included three large scoops of (what appeared to be) homemade ice cream and topped with caramelized pecans. The key lime was tart and delicious. The portion sizes were perfect and considering the careful preparation and unique flavors the price was appropriate. It's a little more expensive that I would like to put Grassroots into our weekly rotation, but I look forward to visiting it again and sample more items off the menu when the budget allows. * I didn't know what burrata was: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burrata
