Roots Restaurant and Cellar

Welcome to Roots!

Founded on a passion for the art of food, we are proud to offer

quality fare with exceptional service.  Our progressive menus highlight

the best of all seasons and different cultures, creating a special experience

each time you join us.

Our family believes the best tasting foods are whole foods grown ecologically

and respectfully.  Sustainable agriculture and aquaculture are some of our strongest values.  Our meats are naturally raised, our fish sashimi grade. 

Filleted onsite to ensure freshness, our fish are wild caught and flown in whole. 

As many of our vegetables as possible are grown in Wisconsin,

many of which are from our own farm in Grafton (The Family Farm). 

As Wisconsin’s only farmer-chef owned restaurant, we are proud to

support as many local farmers as possible.  Please believe that our menu items

are made from scratch with the same love and care we show in

selecting our ingredients. 

Your one-of-a-kind experience at Roots may take a little longer than

typical restaurants as we do so much to make your order as fresh as possible. 

Please sit back and relax over one of our hand-crafted cocktails, and take

this time to discover something new and different on your plate. 

Please ask your knowledgeable server about any menu items you may not understand or if you are in a hurry.  Respectfully, we will try to

 accommodate your time.

Our hard work and dedication has been recognized in

Bon Appetit and Gourmet Magazine, and we’ve been featured

as one of America’s top 20 green restaurants in

Organic Style Magazine.  We are proud members of

Slow Food USA and The Chefs Collaborative.

Enjoy!

Graciously Yours,

Owner~Chef/Farmer – John Raymond
