Food and service was very good. Had to wait 25 minutes for table to free up even though we had a reservation. Went to bar to have a drink, martinis. Not impressed with the experience. Only had 2 brand options, Tito's or Kettle One. Serving was rather ordinary, olives were rather ordinary, no blue cheese option, and very pricey for the end product ($22 each). Wine at dinner was good, though. But, will go back again, and omit the martinis.

Rustic Root is one of our favorite places to dine as well as hang at the bar. Food is delicious. There are no bad choices. Menu changes throughout the year which means everything is thought out and prepared with care. Drinks are also staple. Best Smoked Old Fashioned that I have experienced. Staff is very warm and friendly but a special shoutout to Hailey, Sam & Gio who all made a special evening memorable!

We sat at the bar and the bartender couldn’t have been more attentive. The service was top notch. The food was very good. The octopus could have been tenderized a little more. Burrata was supposed to have heirloom tomatoes, but came with just regular Roma tomatoes and cherry tomatoes. I get it, heirlooms are out of season, but don’t keep it on the menu. Gnocchi was very flavorful but a little gritty. No espresso for the end of the meal so our bartender made espresso martinis. They were excellent. Overall, great date night. We will return.
