Great food & a cool ambiance - Edit
The outdoor tables overlooking the park are a great spot for a date night dinner. The waiter knew how to make apppetizers vegan & the tofu entree was perfect as-is. Exactly the meal we were looking for

Great choice - Edit
I knew before we went to Roots that there wasn’t much in the way of options to choose from but what they did offer sounded perfect. We were not disappointed! We started with crispy fried Brussel sprouts in a sweet chili sauce and followed it up with the main entree - Tofu fried over jasmine rice with a curry broth. The presentation was beautiful with the tofu sandwiches between slices of Watermelon Radish. The meal was delicious and looked special in a very cozy location.

Friendly service and good food - Edit
Friendly service and good food. Great atmosphere. A little hard to find at first because the restaurant sits back behind the shriners building.

One of the best in Rutland - Edit
Excellent food. Although vegan choices are somewhat limited, there are several vegetarian choices and some can easily be made vegan. If you're a vegetarian, you'll find more than enough selection. I've eaten here a dozen times and each time has been excellent. The tofu bowl is amazing, as is the quinoa salad. Bean cakes are also great. Always a few interesting specials (one is usually vegetarian, but not always vegan). Full service restaurant with excellent beer/wine selection.

Yummy and accomodating to vegans - Edit
If I could give a non-vegetarian restaurant 5 stars, I would. I appreciate their options in a community that likely would not sustain a vegetarian restaurant.
Read moreWe had lunch at Roots today. My husband ordered the black bean sandwich (comes with cheddar cheese which could be removed) and I ordered the tofu sandwich (which comes with aioli which can be removed / substituted). The staff was very courteous and accommodated our requests for changes even suggesting some substitutions. Both meals were very tasty. My husband ordered fries as a side and I ordered a quinoa salad which was amazing!
The atmosphere was conducive to conversation and table sizes not cramped. Our meals cost $25.
Pros: Accommodating of vegan, Friendly and helpful staff
Cons: Limited vegan options

Vermont Tofu! - Edit
I really enjoyed Roots, but they only had a couple of vegan options. I had a Tofu dish that had Vermont Tofu, cabbage, carrots, onion, rice noodle and local greens with a soy ginger sauce. I added some hot sauce and loved it. I would definitely go back.

Very Impressed - Edit
For a non-veg restaurant I was really impressed. They had a few vegan items and a few that could be made vegan. The black bean cake appetizer is vegan with NO AVOCADO CREAM and I think two of the salads can be made vegan. The wait staff know what they’re talking about, so feel free to tell them you’re vegan and they should be very accommodating!
Read moreI could tell the chefs are very talented because the food was soooo good, tastes gourmet! (Both vegan options are the ones with tofu in it)
Pros: Very good flavor , Very nice staff, Very vegan friendly
Cons: A very meaty restaurant
