    We stumbled upon Roots when we were having lunch in Port Jeff and what a delight our Kavatender (not sure if this is actually a word) was! I forgot her name but she was very welcoming and adorable. Plus she liked our dog and encouraged us to come in. She educated us on Kava and the ritual associated with it. We each had a bowl and I quickly understood why it should be drunk in one fell swoop. It's because it's very very bitter! I believe the translation of kava is actually "bitter". Next time I might add some coconut some thing. With that said, I did definitely feel tingle in my mouth and I felt very relaxed. I had a slight case of the giggles. I would like to come back again with some friends and try some other things. Roots is very cozy and I would have liked to have stayed a little bit longer and play some games they make available. Great first time Kava experience and I will definitely be back. I recommend Roots for a laid-back, social get together with friends.

    We stumbled along this place while taking a stroll on a Saturday night and decided to check it out because it looked pretty chill on the inside. When you walk in, it looks like a bar - but it's not. The worker told us all about the type of drinks they have and where it comes from, and she was super sweet about it since we were pretty ignorant. We got to try a couple drinks on tap and a couple drinks in a can. Spent over $40 on four drinks - pretty pricey but we were really curious. Atmosphere is so laid-back. They had a musician come in and play guitar at the front. They have tables and chairs in the front and back of the building. They have multiple games you can play. There's chalk to draw on the walls and they apparently get rid of it weekly, but display it on their instagram. There are coloring books and art pads to draw on. They're so relaxed that they had a TV and people were playing their own Nintendo. Super chill. We stayed for about 3 hours. For a Saturday night, I loved every second. She said they'll soon be hosting events such as Paint night. I competely loved the vibe here and I would so come back again. They opened about a month and half ago - so definitely go and support!

    Great place to relax and enjoy a nice tea or shell after a long day of work! The vibes are a great mix of cafe/bar culture. I've never had a bad experience with the staff or customers who come in. Please, from one yelper to another, try this awesome Kava Bar!

    There are no strangers at Roots, Just friends you haven't met yet. The kava-tenders; Mel, Stevie and Becks (as I call her) are glorious in all their duties. The atmosphere is unique and can't be duplicated anywhere else. Plus there are so many events each week there is something for everyone. Also, Angela who left the bad review just celebrated her birthday at Roots, see my photo.

    Great laid back beach vibe with excellent service! If you don't know much about kava or kratom they will explain it all. Catch a buzz with great music, atmosphere, and no hangover

    Love this place, I go here almost every day. They have a great selection of tasty drinks and everyone is always super friendly and very informative if you have any questions about their products. They have a lot of fun events, and the aesthetics are beautiful, also inclusive because you can chalk draw on the walls! Overall, one of my favorite places. Highly recommend!!

    Upon arriving back in NY yesterday, we were vexed with the options for dinner; wanting a wine bar…read morewith Old World characteristics, food being of relative importance. We read a recent review where someone proclaimed the owner to be nasty & unfriendly (sure, I am paraphrasing). Those types of reviews are generally emotionally charged and written by plebs I find. More on that toward the end. Pulling up to a rather unassuming east end Long Island small shopping plaza drenched in rain; opening the door, you are taken back to a semi rustic and dim interior. Perfectly elegant in its bucolic charm- with nice lounge music playing. It is a sit where one likes atmosphere. This is meant with the utmost of respect and candour. We were greeted kindly by the proprietoress (Jacqueline), and handed pleasantly robust binders with the wine list and food. Deciding to treat this in the more European café type, we had glasses and charcuterie. I, the Sagrantino, and her the Kerner. Jacqueline was vocally pleased with our interesting choices. The night drew on, more wine ensued, more food, multiple conversations, and I completed reading through each page and wine choice...finding much to be recognised and appreciated (Kirwan, Moric, Georg Breuer to name but a few) At the end of the night, I asked Jacqueline to pick an appropriate nightcap. She not only delivered, but gave us a wonderful story including the provenance and her experiences - ultimately, the word genius came up more than once. To wit, there was nothing here but an exceptional experience with a like-minded wine enthusiast. I felt welcomed and in the frith of old kin. Nasty, belligerent, dullard atmosphere- indeed not.

The apps included: chickpea fries, Caesar salad, spicy tuna crispy rice, French onion soup, and jumbo shrimp cocktail. Entrees included: tavern burger, Monterey chicken club, cobb salad, fish & chips, roasted cauliflower 'steak', and lobster roll (either cold or warm). I went with the chickpea fries, which were very crispy on the outside and extremely creamy on the inside. It is coated in a layer of chickpea powder and then fried. It was very interesting and i'd order this again. It paired well with the harissa aioli. For my entrée, I got the beer-battered fish and chips. My fries were much thicker than everyone else's, and they also came with potato chips that tasted oily. I didn't love the fish and chips and wouldn't order this again, but my friends enjoyed their burgers, shrimp cocktail, French onion soup, and roasted cauliflower steak. Service was good. The wait staff checked on us many times to make sure everyone got their food and that our water cups were full. The outside of Mirabelle is beautiful, and we saw it being set up for a baby shower. Near the bar, there is a sticker machine that takes quarters and offers stickers featuring the Inn, espresso martinis, dirty martinis, and a burger.

I spoke to a woman in the bathroom and she said even if you don't have a reservation, you can always find a spot on the grass or chairs. There's plenty of room to hang out. Our server Les was incredible! You can tell when you have a great experienced waiter that is truly good at their job and love what they do! Pay him whatever he wants and never let him go! He truly made the dining experience above and beyond. I ordered the Sauvignon Blanc and he asked me if I wanted a glass or a bottle and I told him I couldn't drink a bottle because I had to drive home. He told me if I was gonna have two glasses. It would end up being about equal to the bottle price and that I could take the rest of the wine home! What a nice surprise, and the fact that he pointed out made me feel like he goes above and beyond for his customers! Now let's talk about the food! I was in a party of three and they had ordered the appetizer sandwich for the table which was gigantic! Both of the other guests love the sandwich, but I didn't try it because I do not like prosciutto. The truffle chips were fantastic; I'm still thinking about them and I didn't even know I liked truffle! I ate 90% of them. The portions are massive but in a good way because the food is exceptional! One guest was so full from the sandwich that she opted to not order an entrée I ordered the margarita flatbread and it had to be over a foot and a half long. I ended up taking half home and my husband ate it and said it was delicious as well. The other guest ordered the meatballs and I tasted them and they were quite delicious. By the time the meal was over we left with half a sandwich half a flatbread and some extra meatballs. For dessert: we got a llimoncello flute and I got the largest lemon beautifully presented with lemon sorbet! I told us I don't usually take pictures of my food, but this was photo worthy! The wine was one of my favorite Sauvignon Blanc that I've ever had in my life! We will definitely go back for the food and definitely will be purchasing the wine again! 4/5 food 10/5 for the service and ambience Thank you for a wonderful experience on a beautiful afternoon! Overall, ranking above five just due to the experience
