Oh my- food was decent but the wait was interminable. Seating was also super chilly as it's in a drafty old house Not sure it's worth the 45 minute drive to head there read more

I'm attempting to eat much more macribiotically, which is never easy when eating out. Their black bean and yam burger with the veggie salad as a side was the closest, and it was delicious! Mind you, these kinds of "burgers" never taste like burgers. I highly recommend impossible burgers to restaurants like Roots who'd like to provide an amazing burger experience for their non-meat eating clientele. But, that being said, I found the weightiness of the yam and black bean combo pretty satisfactory, and the bread was superfluous. I loved the look of the cafe and our server was nice, if somewhat inattentive. All in all, I'd go again. read more

Amazing food! We drive 20 mins out of our way to Niagara to go here and was so worth it! Loved the pasta (huge quantity) and the view! read more

My son and I stopped in for Lunch and we were so happy with our visit! The food was amazing! We split the BBQ Picnic Board and Fries. He had a mocktail and I had a Shirley Temple. There was a lot of food and we were super happy with the taste. The pickles were a fun surprise. We sat at the bar and chatted with Jessica the bartender and Brittany the server. They were funny and very helpful. The ambiance was wonderful. Very country chic. I'll be recommending Roots to all my friends. Thank you! read more

Really was looking forward to trying this place. Unfortunately, the service was very lacking and the food we ordered was not good/not cooked well. We ordered the only vegan option, the sweet potato burger, which is a sweet potato hash piled on top of a bun. When you ate it, it was gritty and the sweet potato were both hard and soft at the same town. Also unfortunately, our service wasn't good either! Our server never came to ask how our food was so we sat looking at these inedible "burgers" waiting and waiting. Beer cans left on the table for the entire meal, no water refills, had to find the serve to even get the check. Too bad because I have heard great things and it is a super cute place in a lovely area. Not a good place to eat if you are plant-based. read more

We had lunch here! What a nice restaurant. The menu has some very different options and our food was delicious. The waitress was very helpful with recommendations and steered us in the right direction. The hammy sandwich was delicious and not too large. We hadn't had breakfast so I was able to eat the entire thing! They are also open for dinner so next time we are going to make dinner reservations. Cute cafe tastefully decorated. Definitely recommend this spot read more

The food is awesome, so fresh, unique recipes that are so tasty, they prepare meals that are something really special. Their cucumber and pomegranate salad is so refreshing and delicious!! I also love their curry chicken salad sandwich, I have it almost every time I visit. read more

We were on the road up north to see the eclipse, and we remembered that Naples is supposed to have exceptional restaurants. We had just passed Red Cat Winery and were talking about turning back, when we saw Roots and remembered that this was one of the big players. We luckily managed to get a table for brunch, and we quickly knew that Roots has special all over it. Quickly greeted by our server Mary, we ordered from the brunch menu. We were impressed that they knew the farm that each food item hailed from, and more impressed with the food itself. Donna gave me a slice of ham from her plate, and I had not known that ham could be that good. The only disappointment was that they had just run out of zucchini fritters. We'll have to go back sometime. read more

Cool vibe here, converted house with lots of neat seating inside and outdoor space for nicer weather. We were here for Sunday brunch. Coffee was good, mimosas were too, although a bit heavier on the OJ than I'd make at home. I got the sausage gravy and biscuits and the wifey got the Fig and Pig burger. Salt and dill fries that came with the burger were money. The sausage gravy was good, heavy on the fennel seed, not cream based like I was expecting, good but I wouldn't get it again. The burger was excellent. The fig and bacon jam was delicious. Tom our waiter was attentive but not intrusive. Lots of stuff on the menu sounded great so we'll be back. read more

Roots Cafe - Yum - New American Near Me - Naples, New York

Perched a top about the most ideal vineyard landscape I've ever seen, Roots Cafe is the real thing. The inside is simple, but lovely. While you wait to be seated, there's an amazing Hand, drawn, blackboard mural of all of the local businesses they use in their food and drink. The menu is fine, dining prices, but instead of being overly fancy or disappointingly heavy, everything was fresh, delicious and expertly prepared. Charred artichokes with whipped feta and crostini was so simple and scrumptious. It came with Greene's dressed in lemon juice and good olive oil, simple but perfect. Blackened chicken with tomato, cucumber salad, strained Labna and warm pita was about the best I've ever had. Chicken so flavorful it must have been brined, perfectly seasoned, light and fresh. The special salad was local greens and blueberries with a raspberry vinegaraitte and feta (we ordered too much feta, but it was unsalted and hard to get tired of)... the dressing was a little sweet for my liking but my wife loved it. She says the dressing could've been a little less sweet and it could've used some toasted nuts. Dessert was a lime and coconut cake that tasted homemade and was a dense, heavy buttercream and dense, heavy crumb, but tasting nonetheless. The service was friendly and helpful. When you think about spending a lot of money on farm table food, this is the kind of place you imagine being worth your hard earned shekels. read more

Staying at Naples for our vacation in Finger Lakes region. Read reviews stated that this place is a must in Naples, so we went. It was not so wise to walk in because it was popular and the place was small. But the wait wasn't too bad since we could dine outdoor in summer. The produce and wine are locally sourced, which is a big plus. We picked the wine produced by the winery next door and they were delicious. We ordered the tuna bowl and the pasta. They are well-seasoned and yummy. Yes. This place is a must-go place in town ... or I would say in the area. read more

We were a large group and our good took a while but it was worth it. I had the burger that I was craving for and it was very good. Our server was fantastic, he took very good care of us and was apologetic about the delay with the food. Overall we had a good experience at Roots. read more

Love this place! Whenever we are hiking in the area, driving around looking for wineries, or coming from visiting friends on the lake, Roots Cafe is our go to for great quality, great value, local food with an inventive spin. Over the last year, we've been here 4 times - 3 times just the hubs and I (two dinners and 1 brunch), and once with multiple generations of women in my family on a girls outing. Each and every time we have found great diversity on the menu, a friendly and knowledgable server, an accommodating kitchen, and a warm and welcoming atmosphere. For example, I am trying to eat vegan whenever I can, but also need gluten free, and during one of our dinner outings, I had a bowl of delicious and hearty vegan lentil soup, paired with a salad and topped off with warm mulled cider and their vegan and GF flourless chocolate torte. The hubs had their steak special which came with potatoes and greens and he was really happy with the doneness of the meat (medium as ordered) and the portion size. Besides the great food, the whole vibe of Roots, inside and out, is awesome - colorful, homey, eclectic...in any season... Definitely recommended...and to ensure you won't be disappointed if you drive down from Rochester for dinner, I would recommend making reservations too! read more

Very good food, and great service. Highly recommend the Greek gyro. Make sure to make reservations as the tables fill up quick.

To qualify " doesn't look like much when you walk past", it doesn't look like a great place to eat; however, it is A GREAT PLACE TO EAT & socialize, given the large number of guests there for lunch, both in- and out-of-towners! I'd suggest making a reservation. We've been there for lunch several times and usually gotten prompt service, but not when many are waiting. In that case, the Maitre-de will reward you, say with free drinks! read more

We had a wonderful experience at Roots Cafe! We first saddled up at Inspire Moore for a round of tastings on the patio - we had our dog with us and, unfortunately, Roots does not allow dogs under the tent or on their patio space. I had wrongly assumed that the two were connected and you could order food while drinking wine - but unfortunately not the case. Anyways - we enjoyed our Inspire Moore wine then headed to the little patio space in between both buildings to enjoy some Roots Cafe eats. We ordered takeout (to the space next door) from the currently outdoor hostess stand. The staffer working was a little spaced out throughout our entire ordering process, but we got our food in no time at all and everything was correct and delish. I went with the curry chicken salad and would absolutely order that again. A major star of the show? The FRIES! So tasty and covered in a dill seasoning. Do not skip! We enjoyed sitting with our pup in the patio space and would absolutely eat at Roots again when visiting Naples. read more

Did Sunday brunch here to end my sisters bachelorette weekend. It was beautiful views, good vibes and great food/ drinks. They were nice and easy to book. With for a large group ahead of time. Wish the menu that changed daily was available online somehow due to some food intolerances and picky eaters in the group. But the menu day of wound up working for all members of our group so our ahead of time worries were eased. Wait staff was friendly and helpful and the food was just so yummy and unique. Highly recommend. Thank you for having us !! read more

My sister and I came in for dinner on a Thursday night. We did not make reservations in advance, but were able to get a table after a short wait. The hostess, server, and bartender were all very friendly. The decor was outstanding and the seating was wonderfully separated so that we had our own little section. We ordered the mushroom poutine to start and the braised brisket as our entree to split. We also ordered one of their seasonal draft beers and a cider - both delicous. And then we waited, and waited, and waited some more. We began to think that we were forgotten, but an hour later our meal had arrived. The poutine and the brisket came out together. They were both absolutely phenomenal. The carrots that came with the brisket were perfect and so were the crispy garlic potatoes. It was disappointing that no one came to check on us or see if we needed more drinks or anything else, but that will not stop us from coming back because the food was worth the wait. read more

My first recommendation for this place is make a reservation. They are very small & very popular. Please be patient & kind to the staff. They only have a kitchen big enough for 2 cooks. The wait you have for the food is worth it. Anything on the menu is absolutely delicious. Even with a small kitchen the food comes out hot & all together. Ingredients are sourced locally whenever possible & the menu is always changing based on season. Portions are big & I would recommend each person in your party getting something different & sharing. The beef was tender, the pasta was cooked perfectly & the sauce impeccable. Their french fries?! Out of this world with the seasoning & crispiness. They don't display in on their menu but they do have a kids menu where the portion will give you left overs. Try a craft cocktail as the are unique & tasty. We did not have room for dessert but I am sure that it is the best. We even had someone that was with us who was a chef & he agreed with how amazing our meal was. read more

We visited Grimes Glen State Park in the morning and so glad we stumbled upon this cafe in town. It is in this funky converted house and has tons of charm. We didn't realize you needed reservations and got really lucky with a 15min wait for 4 people. Highly recommend reservations!!! Where we sat inside the house, it had gorgeous views of the vineyards at Inspire Moore and the beautiful fall foliage. Everyone in our party agreed the service was just meh. We had to ask multiple times for a straw for my mother, food took awhile to come out, and we had to ask for water refills. But, if you can overlook those 3 things, the food totally more than made up for it. I don't know how long they will have their mac & cheese special but highly recommend it! It was AMAZING! Their miso sesame burger was definitely different but oh so delicious. Everyone in our party could not stop raving how good the food was during our whole meal. My fall sangria was the perfect combo of wine, whiskey, apple cider, ginger ale, and cinnamon. read more

There's not much to say about this place, other than if you've never been, hurry up and give it a try. Imagine Moore has some of the best wine in the Finger Lakes and the winery is right on premises. The menu is always changing based on local availability of ingredients, but the burger is a staple and there's quite the creative surprise inside. I'm not too impressed with the black bean burger. It resembled a ball of generic tasting black beans. However the sweet potatoes that are in the black bean burger definitely give this a better taste and mouth feel. Now we are gonna get right into the nitty gritty. Who here has heard of breakfast nachos? Roots has and if they didn't invent this, they better patent it. Their breakfast nachos are the best meal and might be my last meal. I just wish they had them ALL THE TIME and on every MENU. read more

One of my favorite spots we went to eat at while in the Finger lakes! Everything about this cafe was amazing!! The food, the art, the views and their own small winery (Inspire Moore winery) in the back! The vibrant colors on the outside matched well with the beautiful scenery! Definitely a organic hippie vibe and it is a wonderful place! My bf ordered the sweet potato back bean burger and it was so good! I ordered the sun soaked goat burger and OMG the grass fed meat was out of this world!! All the burgers flavors blended so well together! One of the best burgers I've ever had! I ordered the curried chicken salad wrap to go and now I'm just obsessed and need to make it at home!! My bf enjoyed his food and dining experience! The service was great as well, the workers were very kind and sweet! I had a delicious mimosa and a spicy Bloody Mary. I am so happy we stopped here and I can't wait to go back when we are in the Finger lakes area! Definitely a must try for anyone in the area! read more

Very long waiting time after ordering. I ordered the Vindaloo which is supposed to be a spicy Indian curry dish with garlic and Indian spices. It tasted like a bland coconut curry with spicy chilis; more like a Thai curry. Very little flavor other than coconut milk and chilis. Disappointing!
