Roots! Organic and Sustainable Food Near Union Square
I work in the Flood Building in San Francisco, and much to my dismay, I rarely can find anywhere local that serves up a great hot lunch without all the chemicals. I've been meaning to try out Roots for some time now, and finally took a walk this afternoon to see what this place was about. I was blown away! I had the organic tomato cream soup, and a killer beat salad made with Mache (I had to look this up when I got back from lunch..it's an arugla-like lettuce leaf, very tasty and nutritious!). I glanced at the wine list, and although I wanted to, I didn't indulge in the over 40 (!) organic and biodynamic wines on their list! I did go for a dessert (of course), and if you can only eat one thing when you go there, get the black forest sundae chocolate cherry thing...mmmm (just keep telling yourself it is organic!). Service was outstanding from Adriene and her new trainee Laura :-). They also have an awesome happy hour with interesting (and organic) cocktails. Great spot and fair prices.
