I just want to send a word of caution to anyone who wants to use Roots to cater a function. We had a commitment from Roots to cater or wedding. It was a very specific event with a 6 course custom menu that Craig the owner had crafted. 32 days before the wedding I get this email from Craig.
"Rick,
I am very sorry to tell you this, but we will not be able to cater your wedding. As I told you in our tasting, I would be out of the country and that I would have my executive chef cook your food, however we were waiting on a previously booked event to confirm and they confirmed for your date and he will be required at that event due to its complexity."
So basically Craig new he had a larger client on the back burner, but continued to negotiate with us down to the food tasting and crafting of the menu. He was stringing us along and never mentioned the "other client". He then bailed on us by email without ever bothering to speak to us in person at any time thereafter. Completely unprofessional and uncaring about anything but the money in our case. We had to scramble to find a new caterer for a custom menu 1 month before the wedding. We did, and it was fantastic and less money than he was charging.
Craig is young and will eventually learn what it takes to build a strong business... but as of now, buyer beware.
