Yesterday, Roots once again reaffirmed itself as hands down, the best brunch in town. Stopping in for brunch around noon, we found a packed house but short wait and incredible service.

There simply isn't a better setting. Floor to ceiling French doors and open window provide sweeping views of Milwaukee's skyline plus cast streams of sunlight across the beautiful wood floors and bar.

In my opinion, their brunch is the perfect combination. Roots successfully blends the healthiness of Beans and Barley, the savoriness of Comet Café and decadence of Trocadero. They somehow manage to make a meal you'll constantly crave and enjoy but simultaneously feel good about eating.

The classic eggs benedict is rich but not overwhelming; poached eggs run over crisp English muffins and tender Canadian bacon. The tofu scrambler mixes herb-infused tofu with crisp vegetables, adding delectable house potatoes and firm vegan sausage. Not to mention a made-from-scratch relish of cranberries and orange.

I love the food and the setting but I think what impresses me most, is the notable balance to everything at Roots.

The higher-end dinner menu is balanced by the reasonably priced brunch menu. The light airy ambience of the upstairs dining room is balanced by the complex detail of the downstairs cellar. Detrimental environmental impact is balanced by locally grown and harvested produce.

And most importantly, each dish is a perfectly balanced blend of sweet and savory.
