| - I love Grassroots - their Happy Hour is great. The HH menu is short, but the flavor is PHENOMENAL! And it's a good bargain. The burrata is excellent, I highly recommend it. So are the sliders - Hawaiian sweet roll sliders with slow-roasted brisket. The homemade pickle on the slider makes it worth dreaming of.
The bar is very large - a U-shape, and well stocked. I always order wine, so can't speak to any cocktails or beer they serve. But I always find a glass of wine I like and want, and they don't forget me when my glass is empty. :-)
Off the HH menu, my fav dish is the bbq brisket plate with grits, pickles, baked beans and cornbread. I'm from the South, and have been extremely disappointed in what some restaurants call cornbread, or even biscuits, for that matter. But Grassroots' cornbread is very good.
The service is always good/above average - I've never felt like I was forgotten or overlooked. And the waitstaff personalities are collectively warm and accommodating.
This has a neighborhood restaurant feel to it - there's nothing luxurious about it like eating at our resort restaurants, but it's not supposed to be. It's excellent in giving you comfort food in a modern, open, airy, and lively atmosphere.
Because it's open & airy, it isn't a restaurant to go with a book - it's a bit loud.
There is also good patio seating!
