    Comfort food...bring it on. Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, red wine gravey with grilled asparagus. This is one of my favorite dishes. Service was exceptional. The restaurant is kept clean.

    Food was great as always! Add in the spectacular service from Tina, it was a perfect date night.

    The Food was fresh and came out hot! The atmosphere was nice, not too loud but still lively. The server was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because some of the food seemed under seasoned. Overall, I will definitely be back!

    So glad we tried this place! Being from Florida and going to a seafood place in a landlocked state…read moreis not usually something I do. We sat at the bar, and the bartender was amazing, full of helpful info about the menu. He told us how the seafood comes in fresh. He recommended oysters to us, and since it was our first time, he threw in a couple of his favorites at no charge. It was also happy hour, and we took advantage of the specials, ordering the cheddar biscuits drizzled with honey and the colossal cocktail shrimp. They really were huge and delicious. We also enjoyed half-price oysters. My husband loved the crushed cocktails We split the mahi-mahi, and we loved how he told us about the fresh fish that had never been frozen and whether it was wild or farm-raised. The mahi was incredible. You could tell it was fresh. We enjoyed the potatoes and the BéreBlanc sauce. This is going to be a place that we will end up becoming regulars at. So happy to have tried it!

The seafood Boil and Ciopinno are prepared as they are, so no modifications. The service is attentive, but on my last visit I had to request additional utensils for the Raw Oysters. Dessert is house made and delicious. The servers bring around a tray like at M & S Grille and McCormick and Schmick's. I prefer the upscale feel to the dining room to the bar and cocktail tables.

I could describe every experience with this restaurant but I'll leave you with the previous few. And I know what you're thinking, if the food was so bad, why do you keep going back? Well, hope and optimism. Rooting for Roots! We want the local place to succeed, but we've come to the conclusion that what they really need in order to improve, is honest feedback. But part of me hopes that it changes nothing. And here's why... my wife and I love this place. But in a weird way... allow me to explain, imagine the place as a Saturday Night Live sketch where the staff, the menu and ambiance are unapologetically pretentious, but the food doesn't deliver on any level. It's pure entertainment. We have dinner and an inside joke. First of all, for the price, you naturally expect elevated dishes and excellent service. We both had a cocktail, a glass of wine with dinner, an appetizer, entrees, salad and desert. Around $250 with tip. Pricey, but reasonable if the place delivers. On one visit we had the duck, which was served undercooked and when we mentioned it to the waiter, she scoffed, "that's the way it's supposed to be served." So feeling duly chastised for our ignorance, we shut up and ate the duck. I don't know the organism involved, but my wife and I were up all night vying for access to the bathroom. Enough said. Things were dicey, but no trips to the hospital. Six months or so had passed and finally, last night we rolled the dice and tried Roots again. My wife said her dinner was fine. She had stuffed salmon, adequate, but not great. For me, It was between the steak and the pork belly. Now I had the steak before once and it was... well it was definitely a steak. I'm not going to say much about it except for this... if you like the taste of a good glass of water, order the steak. So having experienced the steak already, I ordered the pork belly, which is an extremely tasty and forgiving cut of meat in my experience. But somehow at Roots, they figured out how to prepare it poorly. Yikes! It was dry as a bone, but only in the places where it wasn't tough as shoe leather. It had to have sounded like a rock when it hit the plate. The naturally rich flavor was cooked completely out of it, and any surviving seasonings were successfully burned away during the cremation process. I was starving so I made a valiant effort at finishing it, but it took several glasses of water and an inordinate amount of chewing. My wife laughed at me the whole time. I offered her a bite but she demurred, quipping that it had been a long week and she simply didn't have the energy. It was served with a "slaw" that consisted primarily of a plain sliced onion and slices of flavorless apple devoid of seasoning or dressing. I honestly don't know how this dish made it out of the kitchen, let alone a chef's imagination. It has become a quest for my wife and me. Like the holy grail of dining experiences, only a few minutes from our home. Ever the optimists, we will just keep trying Roots again every six months or so and hope for better on each trip... or not. If you're looking for a unique dining experience, please try Roots. We want them to succeed so we can keep coming back and having these comically terrible experiences. If pretentious irony is your spirit animal, please try roots. And Roots, please keep trying. We will keep spending $250 bucks for "dinner" and a show. PS, to add to your experience, ask for a booth when you arrive for your reservation, they will look you up and down and politely say "no" as they walk you past 4 empty booths. No explanation...

The wine bar, for tastings, is right there letting you know wine is a major focus. The selection of wines is also there, each with flavor notes and suggested pairings noted on a card. This provides a pleasant start to an evening. Armed with this information, when we got to the table, we were able to order one for each of us that we thought would suit our pallets. I enjoy sweets so the Scarletto delivered perfectly. My spouse had the Summer Berry Sangria, which she really enjoyed. Along with water and our wines they brought a pretzel bun and butter. It was delicious and I couldn't resist another. We had the prime rib sliders for an appetizer. The accompanying garlic spread was amazing. My wife had the pistachio encrusted grouper came with 3 good sized asparagus spears and mashed potatoes. I sampled and the grouper was about an inch thick, citrus notes and the crust of pistachios slightly salty and good nutty flavor. I had the braised short rib risotto. It had the subtle earthy notes from the mushrooms, totally tender and delicious also. After dinner one of the service ladies refilled my water glass and some accidental spilled in the table. No harm, no foul. But then asked, after cleaning up, if there was anything we would like. I asked for a third pretzel roll and yes, not ashamed, brought it home for tomorrow.

The waitress convinced me to try their peanut butter burger l, which sounded strange, but was just as delicious as she said. The onion bacon jam was perfect and you only got hints of the peanut butter throughout. I also tried some of my coworkers philly cheese steak tots. I'm not a fan of bell peppers, but eating around those, the cheese sauce, streak, onions, and banana peppers on crispy tots were savory and tangy and just a really good balance. I would order them again in a heartbeat. The only thing that would have made the experience better is if we didn't have to ask for refills and napkins. I wish I had taken pics of the food, but I was too hungry to take the time. On the putt side, they have two mini courses, both with 9 holes. They have putters for golfers of every size and you get your balls from a gumball machine which is pretty fun. As a group of adults, we had a ton of fun playing both courses.
