Root Down Market Reviews
Very friendly, cozy atmosphere. Fresh delicious food. Must see destination!
I ate here with friends this morning. I had the vegan scramble - it was plated beautifully and tasted as good as it looked. The young man behind the counter was friendly and helpful. And I bought some fresh produce to take home with me.
I will definitely be back.
We had lunch there today. Its hard to find good cooking in this area but the chef at Root Down clearly knows what he is doing. Its easy to make a greasy salty pile of goo but it requires some real talent to make a many flavored dish from fresh seasonal ingredients. The chicken wings are not what you might expect and they are spectacular.
