ROOTS - plant-based menu, I was shocked at how flavorful and bold these dishes were, even for skeptics. We are not vegan and loved this menu. Definitely don't miss the butternut squash and Jerusalem artichoke dish.
Patina has a great variety and quality of restaurants - from michelin starred to full vegan.
There's a restaurant (and drink!) for every occasion and appetite, including the wonderful Roots vegan restaurant.
Good variety of healthy options on the island with a farm-to-table restaurant "Roots" (don't miss trying the Poke Bowl, Vegan Burger, and Gio Taco just delicious).
The vegan option, I am an avid meat eater, was delicious and surprising and as we went for 7 nights, we were lucky enough to dine in each of the offerings and didn't have to dine in one twice.
The staff gave us a private tasting of the yet to be re-launched vegan menu, and as a meat and potatoes lover I can honestly say it was one of the best meals I had ever eaten.
We also tried the vegan restaurant 'Roots' one right which was lovely.
A special mention to the signature resteraunt called roots which is a vegan resteraunt, really exceeded our expectations.
