Best Bistros in I Drive / Sand Lake

We celebrated my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary at Root and Branch. Lisa, our server, was splendid, and Chef Dave’s food tasted phenomenal! Thank you for our extraordinary experience!

We had a wonderful time at this restaurant! I booked it as an out-of-town guest for my birthday brunch and it was fabulous. We came very early, right when the restaurant opened, and had our choice of where we wanted to sit. It didn’t hurt that the weather was also absolutely beautiful and the sun was shining the entire time we were there. Our waitress was awesome as well. She was super friendly and conversational and accommodated my mom, who does not drink alcohol, with a colorful mocktail. I had the chicken and waffles and my mom ordered the margherita flatbread. The waffles were SO GOOD. They were just sweet enough without being overpowering. My mom’s flatbread was good as well; very flavorful but mild. The venue is BEAUTIFUL! And I loved that they have self service wine tasting available every day. If I was a local I would definitely visit this spot regularly. It’s definitely on the “eat there again” list when I’m back in Orlando!

The rosti potatoes were delicious. Very nice service. Local is quite simple but calm and very clean. A lot of parking place. We liked very much!

Great place, super friendly staff, and awesome food.

The overall experience was good but overpriced by all means. They also tried to charge me for my 1 year old for tea. I had to pay for my 4 year old. No refills, no second round of sandwiches. Didn’t even ask what we preferred and just brought everything out. It was good for a one time experience for Mother’s Day, but I don’t see myself going back again.
