    Pan Seared Cod with lemon tarragon parmasean risotto
    Wilma C.

    Great food and service from Root & Bone - a great restaurant about 15 minute drive from Niagara Falls tourist attraction area. Fridays and Saturdays are Prix Fixe 4 course menu with choice of 4 to 5 dishes per course. I really enjoyed the Crispy Butternut Squash with miso brown butter aioli. Great texture contrast with sweet and savoury umami from the sauce and garnishes. Diver scallops were great and beautifully plated. For mains, we had the pan fried cod paired with lemon tarragon parmasean risotto and the honey lavender glazed duck breast. Both were cooked to perfect temperature and accented with pickled gooseberries and wild blueberry jus for pops of acidity and sweetness. The open concept kitchen is great to observe but does get busy during peak hours with all the dishes being pushed out. The staff were very friendly and always checked in on our progress. I heard the menu changes every 5 to 6 weeks. I would visit this restaurant again when I'm in the area!

    One of the dinner specials that evening. Char, cooked perfectly.

    We came for a special dinner, partner meeting family for the first time! Could not have been a more perfect evening. Inside is quaint and cozy. It's small but with walls of mirrors it feels open and inviting, with soothing lighting. The chef used to be executive chef at a restaurant in Fallsview Casino. Happy to see that he went on to open this beautiful farm to table spot. We had a bottle of a NZ sauv blanc which was excellent. They also carry a locally made sauv blanc, we will try that next time. We had the Brussel sprouts and pomme frites as appetizers, both of which were very good. The Brussel sprouts have delicious bits of pork belly mixed in-- super good. That entrees were expertly prepared. Be prepared to wait a while even with reservations. We waited for about 20 minutes but they brought out some complimentary sparkling wine for our patience. A top notch place. It was a very special evening and Root and Bone tied it all together for us.

    Fun server taking a selfie with us... check out the chef in the back. They were so great!!!

    Root & Bone was an amazing experience! Our crew of 9 flew in late into Toronto and found this gem- we only had an hour until closing, but they welcomed us with open arms! We never felt rushed and they were so kind to stay late for us. First off, we got to meet an amazing server named Katie. She was friendly, patient with our group and explained the menu. She was incredibly accommodating and great at her job. We also got to meet the owner and chef. He did not disappoint! Most of us did the "course" option and had small plates of 4 courses. Each plate was outstanding, made fresh and so flavorful!!! He started us with delicious stuffed zucchini flowers, which was new to all but 1 of us, and they were so good. The ravioli and green salad were just incredible. The 3rd course only had meat options (which my friends loved and ate up!!) so the chef made me a wonderful veggie risotto, with freshly charred veggies that I loved. If you are any where near this place, try it!! The food is outstanding and the people are wonderful.

    I ordered every main course on the menu. The portions are really big. The mushroom bison pasta with truffle is really good along with the duck breast ( larger than most). I would say they were all close but if I had to rank The bison pasta Duck breast Mint crusted lamb Miso fish of the day Beef tenderloin Parking in the back and the patio closes at the end of October. Side story: our group was late because one driver blew a tire. The whole restaurant was so considerate. Unbelievable service

    Cauliflower fritters and cashew cream and house pickles

    Amazing service and food! Our first time tonight for a late celebration of my bday this week. We went early and there were already a good number of tables seated. The kitchen is visible from just about everywhere and the aromas and view! Our servers were so warm (Sharon in particular was a tie for first in reasons to go) and the decor was spot on for the season. We had apps, the sourdough bread, mains and desserts and a bottle of wine... just the perfect season and local selections... enough for variety on the menu but not so many as to not be able to give attention to each drink or dish or dessert. Creative and delicious seasonal dishes! Cannot wait to go back with more and more friends!

    While staying in the area I looked at reviews for something decent and came across this place -…read moreGetting there around noon on a weekday, they were rather busy, so I sat at the bar and within a few minutes it was completely packed at the bar. Service from the bartender was great. He offered up some suggestions, which I needed because they have a large menu loaded with so many appetizing and amazing looking options. I started with their potstickers... They came out with a hard, fried shell and the dipping sauce went nicely with them. Enough to share, or even enough to enjoy and still have room for an entrée. My main dish was their Chicken & Waffle. This isn't some ordinary chicken and waffle, it's definitely an amped up version, made with unique and interesting ingredients, culminating in great flavors! The chicken was so large and very tender - it was amazing! The bacon and sauce on top went with it nicely, and the chive waffle was great with it! Each bite was definitely amazing! This was a great experience, I can see why they have so many reviews and such high stars, those are well-deserved stars!! Definitely recommend stopping in here!

The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, which made it even more enjoyable. I ordered fried calamari along with single chicken wings tossed in an Asian sweet and spicy sauce--both dishes were flavorful and satisfying. The combination of crispy textures and bold flavors really stood out. What made the experience even better was the service. Our server was amazing--attentive, friendly, and truly great at her job. She made us feel welcome from the start. I always enjoy trying new places, and this visit did not disappoint. If you're looking for an American restaurant near Niagara Falls, this is definitely worth trying. We ended the meal with a delicious dessert,which was the perfect sweet finish to a great experience.

The menu leans fusion, so there was a lot to try, and overall it felt like a fun place to share plates and compare notes with the table. The cocktails definitely stood out for being stronger than the usual lighter, sweeter drinks you get elsewhere, and the smoky cinnamon one was probably the most memorable. For appetizers, the beef tartare with bone marrow was the clear winner for me. The tartare tasted bright and fresh, and the marrow was rich without feeling greasy. The mussels were also enjoyable, mostly because they were fresh and sat in a creamy broth that made the whole dish feel comforting. We also tried the octopus with pumpkin purée, which had a nice chewy texture and a lovely sweetness from the purée, although a slight charred taste came through more than I personally wanted. For mains, a few dishes landed better than others. The ribeye with chimichurri was one of the stronger choices, tender, properly cooked medium rare, and especially good with that sharp, herbaceous sauce. The ribs were also very tender and full of flavor. The salmon in puff pastry was enjoyable enough that I would order it again, even though the pastry itself was a little softer than I expected. The udon carbonara was decent and comforting, but probably not the most memorable thing on the table, and the signature chicken had flavorful meat even if the rice leaned a bit too soft for me. One small complaint I kept coming back to was the bread, which tasted more charred than I like. Still, Wilcox feels like a nice little spot for a relaxed dinner with drinks, especially if you go in the mood to share, explore the menu, and order a few of the stronger dishes.

    Beautiful spot to have Gastro food and a few drinks. Honestly every time I'm in SAUGA I love to…read morevisit - from the Japanese carbonara, to the tartare which is mixed so well, they really care about the flavours and the experience Intimate and dimly lit, with giant windows you can't go wrong with date night here.
