I recently went to Bloodroot for the first time and had a pleasant and delicious meal. The self-serve setting is different, but not at all intrusive. As we entered we were directed to a menu on a chalkboard above the service window. After choosing a seitan ‘skirt steak’ and some tai ‘chicken’, along with two soups and some bread, we paid at the service desk and got seated. The soup and bread were up quickly and were excellent. I enjoyed a Cabbage, Tomato and Rice soup and my girlfriend ordered a Shitake and Soba Noodle soup, which was also excellent. Our dinners came up before too long and both were full of flavor and very filling. The portions looked a bit small for the $14 entree price, but we did end up full and satisfied. After finishing our drinks we browsed the bookstore and left as happy Bloodroot devotees. If only it wasn’t an hour away from us! I highly recommend vegetarians and vegans in CT check out this shoreline favorite.
