My wife and I reserved our table for the first time at Rooted shortly after the start of their…read moreinaugural season. What a surprise the night was! The experience stands out in my memory as a one of the top dining experiences of my life. Last night we came back again and this time dined with friends and the entirety of the service was no less impressive as it was last year. The small staff greets you warmly the moment you arrive and you quickly realize this isn't going to be a typical dining experience. They are only open for service Friday and Saturday and the whole experience lasts approximately 3-4 hours. With only one seating per evening, the focus is on the guest and their enjoyment versus trying to get you out the door. I was concerned when I learned the meal was vegetarian but was far from disappointed. The 6 courses were presented beautifully and so full of incredible flavors and textures that the meat was not missed from my plate. My stomach was definitely not still grumbling when the night was over...the portions were perfectly sized and allowed me to enjoy every savory bite. As far as the atmosphere goes; it is perfect for its "off the beaten path" location. Tucked away in the woods, it matches rustic cabin and elegance brilliantly. Winding paths from the parking lot and to the restroom add to the magic. Even an outdoor gathering area with open fire pits burning bright beckon you to sit and enjoy the moment. This is possibly the most romantic location for dining in Maine. Every single detail is full of warmth and welcoming. My only recommendation is that YOU make your reservation now and give Rooted a try!

Outside firepit with chairs are contemplative. The owner and staff are super friendly and accommodating. The wine list is ok but a bit pricey, while the Maine beer list could be expanded. There is a focus on local, of course, and we ate there just before ditching the animal protein. All our dishes were nicely presented and tasty, yet very traditional and not adventurous. However, I suspect this will change with the new focus. Definitely check out this new, truly hidden retreat.

We very much enjoyed the apple wine - reminds of some German apple wine. We asked, and they managed to scrounge up some charcuterie to eat with our flights and beverages. Set in the middle of the country side, this is a good way to make a pleasant pit stop on a driving adventure. On weekends, there appears to be a food truck. There a plenty of games and activities for kids of all ages to enjoy the outdoor garden setting.

Had a late lunch here today, as Sidereal Farm Brewery was close by to the Airbnb we were staying at…read morethis week. As a disclaimer for this review, we came for the food, not the beer. My wife ordered the burnt ends and I went with the simmered ribs. We felt the meal portions were a bit on the smaller side, but I also think the pricing reflected that. The meats themselves were tender, but I felt my ribs were overseasoned somewhat. The sweet potato side was outstanding, just wish we had more of that. And the Fire Roasted brussels and artichoke side was burnt, to be honest. Cornbread, however, was extremely tasty. Still, overall, a decent meal, but somewhat inconsistent. 3.5 , rounded up to a 4 Star Yelp rating, IMO. Again, I can't comment about the beer, because we don't consume beer. I really shouldn't say the place had a "Hipster vibe", but it was certainly a unique and cool setting for a casual lunch.

The food was ALL 100% made fresh to order, and full of color, aroma, and flavor. The owner of the restaurant knows his customers so well that he remembered what my mother and brother would order for food... And drinks too. He even bought us complementary macaroons for dessert... and took family pictures for us. THE DEAL: if you want to feel VIP, had to red curry, where they treat you like family!
