Roots and Revelry is a top brunch choice if you dig an elegant, yet casual dining style and a menu rich in local and seasonal ingredients.

Start of your meal with an appetizer like avocado toast made with lime, cilantro, quest fresco, pickled onion and olive oil ($8), or the macadamia beignets with cardamom, orange zest, cinnamon and raspberry cream ($7).

Feeling lunchy? Consider a shrimp or oyster po-boy with lettuce, caper-dill aioli and garlic fries. ($16).

For the ultimate combo of breakfast and lunch, I suggest the R&R Breakfast.
