Merchant Roots

The journey you take at the Table at Merchant Roots will exceed your expectations in every.single.way. The attention to detail, creativity, level of service and simply the deliciousness of the food is incomparable. The menu varies, but you’d be fortunate to experience any with Chef Ryan Shelton. Go for yourself, and bring someone who deserves an incredibly special and memorable evening.

Came for Valentine's day and had such a stunning meal. Everything was gorgeously presented, the staff was wonderful, so many pleasant surprises throughout. It was so much fun and a delight to experience! I would highly recommend it for a fun date or special occasion. They only seat 8 guests for the meal and there was a theme. Basically a mushroom forest - and everything had mushroom in it. There was some "foraging" in the table's centerpiece, stories for the dishes, and interactive parts-- so cool!

We went in for their 10-course meal which is only offered a few times a month with limited seating. We were blown away by the creativity and storytelling behind their menu. I was really intrigued that only a few individuals could come up with such unique perspectives on food. While there were tasty dishes, to be perfectly honest, even the most beautiful dish doesn't always translate to a tasty one.

I understand that it is a 10 course meal, I would have appreciated a little less formality in the service considering there were only six people at the table so I could ask questions or inquire about the meal/wine. One thing that I found infuriating and should be reviewed by the owners was having a member of my party charged $4 for a cup of coffee after the four of us spent $168 per person on the meal and another $85 per person on the wine (over $1000 total). When you prepay for a meal and tips, you expect this to be included. This seemed insulting, like nickle and diming your guests, and closed our experience out on a sour note.

But all in all, a truly talented team of creative chefs and sommelier.

Cute shop, tasty pastries and delicious coffee. The decor is really cool as well.

Great meal and friendly chefs. Inventive dishes and even dishware with fun stories. The salad course was my favorite, delicate tastes and tender veggies. However the sommelier was really hard to work with as someone with very little wine expertise and she found it unreasonable for us to ask her to just pick a bottle for us.
