In Gainesville for UF convocation... drove by, saw the sign, made U turn.. so glad I did. I had the California club, thought I would go with a safe choice. It was amazing, best sandwich I've ever had.. no lie. Let me just say... order something with bacon on it. Or a side of bacon. Mom loved the chicken salad salad. 

Business response:

Kim, we too are glad that you made that U-Turn! Thanks so much for your kind words, and we look forward to seeing you the next time you're in Gainesville. Oh, and tell mom we said "Hi!"

The food was fresh and delicious. I had a fancy BLT which was fantastic. The decor is pleasant. I wanted the Waldorf salad too but it was either $11 or no salad. They should have more 1/2 and 1/2 items especially since its not cheap. The name is peculiar but am used to THE Root Cellar restaurant in that other Florida city.

I know everything is organic and locally sourced but this is too expensive. I will pay whatever if it is worth it, it wasn't. We will be back to try the pizza which is only served for din... read more

Business response:

Tami, we're sorry to hear your visit was less than satisfactory. Our meatball sandwiches are $12.99 each because we do pile on the meatballs and our bread is baked to order. Beer and Kombucha brought your total to $39. If you are unsatisfied with your food in anyway, please bring it to our attention and we will be happy to replace it for you. In this case, we would have happily provided you with a different side or a new serving of potato salad or baked a fresh loaf of bread. We only ask that you give us the opportunity to c... read more

Everything was fresh and I had a great experience. The quinoa salad was great and so was the chicken salad sandwich. I plan to stop by for a smoothie in the near future! 

Business response:

So glad you enjoyed it, Paige! We look forward to seeing you again. Spread the love!
