Roots Cafe - West Chester

Roots, a long-time favorite restaurant, has recently undergone ownership changes which have led to a slightly diminished dining experience. Despite serving a good but not exceptional grouper special, the lack of transparency regarding pricing left a sour taste. Additionally, rushed service and a seemingly abrupt end to the meal detracted from what should have been a fine dining experience. On the upside, the quaint and cozy atmosphere of the restaurant was noted, with some diners enjoying their experience especially during brunch. While some felt the high prices were not justified, others found the farm-to-table menu offerings to be worth the cost, with standout items like baked brie and gnocchi receiving high praise. Outdoor seating was a hit, with excellent cocktails and attentive service making for a memorable dining experience overall. Despite a few inconsistencies and complaints, Roots appears to have potential as a charming dining destination in West Chester.
