"So every other time I? ve was here, the food is okay (it was at least a year since I've been here). But tonight was a train wreck. I ordered the calfsalarm I got and enjoyed before. When the waiter brought it, he said? Chicken parm I said? You mean calf? And he said ?yeah calf?. Go to the chicken. I called the waiter and said? Are you sure this is here? And he said he'd ask the cook. Did you come back and say we do a new one? (That means it was actually chicken). A surprisingly short time passed before I received my second, who definitely looked more like calf. I wanted to cut it in if I said it wasn't cut, I mean, I saw that thing with all my power and it wouldn't cut. Take a closer look and find out why. That was a good idea. Now for everyone, serving raw calf is a big no, but I happen to be 8 months pregnant so it's a REAL-big no. My mother (who had finished her food at that time) brought the plate straight to the waiter and pointed out that it was raw and that I am pregnant, which is not good. Then she asked me to make Manicotti, but they were out so I finally got Ravioli. What had cost, as if it were only in the microwave, and the sauce was so watery that my ravioli basically floats. Honestly, I would have expected at least a discount on the bill or something, but unfortunately no such luck. But we didn't want to fight, we just wanted to go. At least the waiter was nice?"

"As soon as you walk into the store, you will notice an abundance of fresh, local and/ or organic produce. Apples, bananas, onions, lettuce, spinach, potatoes, carrots, leafy green veggies, berries, citrus and whatever else you can find in the stores around Roots. Also, there is a fresh salad bar and juice cooler right by the produce, as well as a respectable collection of bulk items. There is also a hot bar section... Though it has some animal flesh, the majority is vegan- for now, the hot items are mainly the veg stews from a local Ethiopian restaurant. The bulk items are fun for snacks like dried fruit, raw nuts and snack mixes. The juices include raw and processed, with a selection that competes with or exceeds the selection of other stores. It does have a few local juices missing from the case, but still a great cooler to browse at and admire. The salad bar had a bunch of vegan salads made with Beyond Meat chik'n. Most items on the salad bar are vegan, and many are organic. As you walk further into the store, expect to find traditional area for canned goods, frozen items, nondairy milks, grains and cereals, to name a few. They have a nice wine selection, a few vegan/gluten free baked goods, and many toiletries for the vegan shopper. There is also a raw section for crackers, cookies and the like. This store is very vegan friendly, but it can be such fun that it might not be too friendly on your wallet if you buy every vegan item you see. If you are looking for vegan whatever, you can probably find it here."
