After Nearly 10 Amazing Years — A Heartfelt Thank You from ROOTS 657
To our cherished customers, neighbors, friends, vendors, and especially our incredible team:
After nearly a decade of serving Loudoun County and being a proud part of the Lucketts community, we want to share some important news — ROOTS 657 will serve its last guests on Sunday, December 14th, and we will officially close our doors on Monday, December 15th.
This announcement comes with deep gratitude and a spirit of celebration. From the very beginning, ROOTS has been more than a restaurant — it’s been a gathering place, a launchpad for local artisans and young talent, and a proud supporter of schools, small businesses, and community causes.
Over the years, we’ve shared countless meals, stories, milestones, and memories. We’ve seen local youth take their first steps into hospitality, and we’ve worked alongside an amazing team that became family. We are truly honored to have been embraced by this incredible community.
While this chapter of ROOTS 657 is coming to a close, we are excited for what’s next — both for the Lucketts community and for our team. We are selling the restaurant so that a new story can continue in this beloved space, one that will keep serving and connecting the Lucketts community for years to come. As we move forward, new and exciting things are on the horizon, and we’re confident that the building that housed ROOTS will continue to be a vibrant hub that brings people together in Lucketts for years to come.

What’s Next for Us -
Continue to enjoy our food for your events, celebrations, and corporate gatherings:

Continue through our sister brands:
Between now and December 14th, we invite you to visit us, enjoy your favorite dishes, and take part in special events as we celebrate ten unforgettable years together.
We are also working closely with our dedicated team to support them during this transition — they have always been the heart of ROOTS, and the connection they’ve built with the community is something we deeply cherish.
From the bottom of our hearts — thank you for 10 extraordinary years of memories, support, and friendship. This isn’t goodbye, it’s simply “see you soon.”
With immense gratitude and respect,
Chef Rich Rosendale, Muriel Sarmadi, Mehrdad Sarmadi & the entire ROOTS Family
