To start with, the food is always wonderful. The owners Selma and Noel are very passionate about food and go to great lengths to learn new recipes and techniques. They use a lot of their own grown vegetables and fruit as well as from the local farmers markets. The women they hire are clearly treated as part of the family and they bring along with them their own influences on the food. The restaurant itself is more charming and unique than any I have been to. It is warm and inviting. Selma and Noel are both very talented when it comes to gardening and landscaping which shows all around the restaurant . Outdoor brunch on a warm Sunday is one of the best times to visit. At Bloodroot you bus your own dishes. It really doesn't take much effort to do this and I find myself picking up after myself in other establishments now. You really get a personal touch at Bloodroot when Selma comes around to every table to interact with guests. She is always willing to share stories and recipes. My wife and I love this place so much we decided to have our wedding here and it was unforgettable. Bloodroot and the women who run it will always hold a very special place in our hearts.

The patio is a great place to relax with friends or family and a glass of wine. I recommend trying the cheese appetizer. The vegan cheeses are excellent! Another gem isthe Vietnamese summer rolls. Inside the restaurant you can find the owners' cookbooks for sale, as well as some interestingartwork. If you are lucky, the resident kitties will pay you a visit on the patio.
