Merchant Roots

Merchant Roots is a boutique fine-dining restaurant. The menus are heavily theme-driven and immersive. At any given point, guests could be whisked to the Swiss Alps to scoop up sprinkles of blooms off a green hillside while enjoying a menu of edible flowers, or invited to a Mad Tea Party where they encounter an Apple-of-your-Eye cake featuring a photo of themselves gazing up from the past. Led by Chef and owner Ryan Shelton, the intimate team of 5 all work passionately to design recipes, make plates out of various materials, and fastidiously choose wine pairings. Every three months Merchant Roots changes the service format, plateware, menus, and decor dramatically to match their theme.
