Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for great views, great service, and the perfect relaxing environment for family time!

Food and drinks are easy to get. Your server comes right to your bay, or you can order at the bar. We tried the mozzarella sticks, sliders, cheese pizza, and margherita pizza. The food was decent. Nothing particularly memorable, but perfectly fine for snacking while enjoying drinks and hitting balls. There are also plenty of things to do beyond the driving range. Kids will enjoy the small play area, and there's ping pong and a putting green, making it easy to entertain everyone in your group. The view really is the star of the show. It's beautiful, and being up on one of Clermont's rolling hills gives you a nice breeze, even on a hot Florida summer day. Who knew Florida had hills? After a couple of hours, though, the heat definitely caught up with us. We planned to cool off by having dinner inside, but on a Saturday evening the restaurant was packed. We probably could have waited for a table, but the indoor dining area was quite warm, so we ended up heading somewhere else for dinner. Overall, we had a great time. It's a fun outing for both kids and adults, and I'd definitely recommend it for an afternoon or evening with friends or family. Just keep in mind that during the hotter months, you'll probably want to go later in the day or on a cooler evening.

One of my go to items is their pork chop. It's always cooked perfectly, juicy, and packed with great flavor. I went with double vegetables to keep the carbs low.

I washed it down with a freshly brewed coffee, which was the perfect way to finish the meal. If you find yourself in Clermont, FL, stop in and grab a great meal at Root & Branch Bistro.

When we arrived, our table was already waiting for us--beautifully set with rose petals. It was such a thoughtful touch, especially since I had only checked the "anniversary" box on OpenTable without expecting anything extra. The exceptional service didn't stop there. When they ran out of the oysters we hoped to order, the chef generously added extra shrimp to our shrimp cocktail to make up for it. To top it all off, they surprised us with a complimentary chocolate cake at the end of the meal. We couldn't have asked for a better dining experience or a more perfect way to celebrate our anniversary. Highly recommend!

The ambiance and music were really enjoyable and made for a nice atmosphere. The lobster mac and cheese and shrimp cocktail were both great and definitely the highlights of the meal. They were out of mashed potatoes and offered a baked potato instead, which was fine, but felt a bit underwhelming for the type of dining experience and price point. Unfortunately, the tomahawk steak was a major disappointment. While the center was cooked okay, the steak arrived only lukewarm, which made it seem like it may have been cooked too early and sat before being served. On top of that, the exterior was so heavily charred that every bite tasted burnt and completely overpowered the flavor of the meat. For a steak at this price point, that level of quality was really disappointing. What made the experience worse was the confusion over pricing. Since the tomahawk was listed at market price, we specifically asked beforehand and were quoted $125 by our server. When the bill came, we were charged $175. After my husband questioned it, the explanation became unclear, and we were ultimately told $125 was the correct price and the bill was adjusted. Had we not spoken up, we would have been overcharged by $50. We really wanted to love this place for a special occasion and appreciate supporting local businesses, but overall the experience ended up being just okay.

What really shined for us was the location with a beautiful view of the sunset and friendly staff. The team went out of their way to make us feel welcome even on an evening where they were short staffed. They were super generous with their wine pours and had great suggestions.

The restaurant stayed pretty quiet for the first 45 minutes to an hour we were there but then started to get busier around noon.

A nicely prepared hamburger and a delightful bacon-stuffed BLT both hit the spot. We didn't get our requested medium rare, but it was tasty nonetheless.

The cole slaw was creamy and looked and tasted freshly-made. The black beans and rice side was a pleasant surprise and delicious. Our service was prompt and efficient. This place can succeed if it keeps serving good food like we had.
