    "some pink" skirt steak. Not what I thought I ordered. Was it still good? Yes. They took 50% off our bill - no animosity or awkwardness.

    Brunch is hit or miss- I asked about this and they did mention loosing a head chef. Multiple times I've had food prepared contrary to what I order. Wait times for food also seem to be a little longer than other places. The staff is really kind and accommodating. The atmosphere is welcoming. The service is what keeps bringing us back. As well, as the memory of perfect preparation and delicious food. When it is made correctly it's a wonderful time. Drinks are amazing. If you like a well made drink Rooted has that. I'd say give them a try, it's a nice place here in Minooka. If your food isn't to order share your concerns and they will do their best to rectify it.

    Absolutely wonderful Sunday brunch. We both had the corned beef and hash. Actual corned beef. Not the canned stuff! Lovely staff. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Had a mimosa and bloody mary. We even got to try a new drink the bartender was playing around with. Never thought I'd like brown butter bourbon! All made from scratch. Everything was so yummy. Such a cute place too. Sad it took me so long to get here. We don't live close but it is worth the drive.

    The food was great. Kale salad was phenomenal. It was really fresh and delicious. The gnocchi lamb entree had a different texture than I expected, but it tasted good. The ingredients all tasted fresh and farm to table. The atmosphere and service were amazing. Honestly, it was one of the most attentive and helpful servers I've had in a long time. The music was things like Ray LaMontagne and Mumford, but not too loud. It had kind of a cozy but classy vibe. If you're into whiskey and bourbon, they have probably 50 options, and the other drink, cocktail, and wine/beer menus looked expansive as well. I'd go here for sure again if I lived nearby.

    This is my second review and was trying some of their summer dishes. Did not disappoint! The lobster roll was incredibly good. It was definitely not the traditional roll but had sweet corn and tiny tomatoes that really enhanced the flavors of summer. I really enjoyed the hibisco cocktail - tequila based and just lovely.

    Friendly staff from the moment we arrived they greeted us and got us a table since a reservation cancelled. The bar is first come first serve with the full menu. Our server made recommendations and suggestions. I tried a salad then pork belly served with polenta. The crafty cocktails had really nice presentation and flavors were on point. Really nice decor and ambiance not too loud you can have a conversation while enjoying the old historic building. Plenty of parking on the main street and side streets. Overall great experience and nicely presented dishes.

    I am very happy that this restaurant opened in Minooka! The restaurant is well kept and beautiful. They did a great job renewing it and making it cheerful. The server was excellent and checked on us quite a bit. They had a second person making sure everyone had water. I really appreciated that. The drinks were great! Strong and well worth the price. The food is fantastic; huge flavors and beautiful! They gave me my dessert since it was my birthday! It was the chocolate tort and it too was very good. I will be back to try their other dishes. You should treat yourself and come visit them!

    I was here on Aug 13th with my son. It was his first day of second grade and I took him out to dinner. I ordered chicken and got food poisoning. I was vomiting, upset stomach, and been stuck on the toilet all day. I also broke out in hives. It sucks because you spend so much money to go out and eat and then you just get food poisoning. I tried contacting the restaurant a couple of times and left a voicemail and no one has answered me or called me back. My email is indira_prentic@yahoo.com if anyone can get back to me

    The Vesper and Brown Butter Bourbon drinks were amazing! We both liked them.

    We love the food and drinks at Rooted! Every drink that I've had has been good, The hibisco is a favorite for sure

    We had a great experience at Rooted tonight! The service was top notch and the food was delicious! We had the pork belly and scallop appetizers, schnitzel and salmon. Everything was very fresh and flavorful. We will definitely be back!

    Food is outstanding and flavorful. Cooked and seasoned to perfection. Staff is friendly & attentive. Ambiance is moody vintage bar. Clean & bright. Well stocked bar.

    I'm new in town so when I found this place I was so excited to find out that it was in my backyard…read more I walked in and this place has the coolest LA, DC, NYC speakeasy "vibe" that I've experienced here. We had a few drinks and a charcuterie board., BOMB! Delaney was our bartender and she was EXCEPTIONAL. I wanted a martini and she recommended a spicy one.. chefs kiss. (Ask for her! And please tell her Travis sent you!) I'll be back every other week! Because I'm not an alcoholic

    Checked out this kind of low key high class cocktail bar. It has a lot more than expected. Mauve…read moreNosh And Libations is one of the classiest places in Shorewood. For sure that's not saying a lot. The drinks are whether the attention but there's some stuff to eat too. Best thing about it is of course the cocktails. It's got quite a few to choose from. There's some that are pretty expensive but some that aren't so bad thankfully. Anyone can find one to their liking. There's of course the classics like martinis. A happy hour is on weekdays to save a few bucks. It's about $12 for sangria. We got the Caribbean Coconut Sangria. Good to help cool off when it gets hot. This is made with coconut rum, lime, pineapple juice, and white rum. Lots of rum in it. There's also a food menu. A few snacks on it basically. It's about $5 to get sides like pickled watermelon. Basically the rinds which actually are good. There's also charcuterie like cheeses and meats. For sure it's one of the best places around here for date nights or even just chilling and hanging. It's located in the plaza with the brewery and a few other restaurants. They're closed Sundays.
