Food was quite good. Had a savory stew/soup that had deep flavor and was very thick. Would definitely eat that again. Their toasted cheese sandwich is another winner which I would have again. All in all, the food was quite good. My friend had the same soup, but opted for the wrap instead of a sandwich. She was very pleased. The place is very informal and pretty much Lakewood chill. The only thing that stops me from rating it higher is that the person we ordered from was not very knowledgeable. Very polite, but a bit lost. If you are gonna work in a place like Root you need to know things like whether the flour used in the breads is 'stripped' (bleached/enriched/bromated) or real.
