I brought my niece here. First time for both of us. Superb! I had the Smoked Old Fashioned cocktail, with the smoke adding a nice layer of flavor to the drink. The layering of flavors was the theme at Rustic Root. We shared the crispy Brussel Sprouts and Crispy Artichokes. Again, excellent layering of flavors with just the right amount of spice to both. For our main dishes I had the Scallops with Snap Pea Risotto and my nice ordered the Roasted Local Cauliflower with Farro. Again superb on both, especially my niece's dish. Many vegetarian meals in restaurants have no real depth to the flavors in the dish but here it did. My only suggestion would be to possibly offer two vegetarian dishes on the menu rather than just one. An excellent evening from beginning to end. Will be adding Rustic Root to my list of favorites and will definitely be back.

This was my first time dining here and I truly enjoyed every aspect of our dining experience. Justin was our waiter and was very attentive to our needs. He made excellent recommendations to start. For appetizers we started with baked clams, calamari, and the meatball. The baked clams were absolutely delicious. The peach blossom drink was a fan favorite at our table. The mulfadine pasta was a hit as well as the salmon, chicken parm, cacio e pepe, and the zucchini fritto! Justin was on top of our needs for refills and cocktails! The basil ice cream paired with the olive oil cake was a delicacy that was enjoyed throughout our table! A few tiramisu’s and cappuchinos and we were good to go! What a wonderful dining experience! We will be back!

We had an amazing experience. Our servers Gaby and Stephanie were exceptional and very professional. Their knowledge of the food and drinks were impeccable. They made our Christmas Eve dining experience very memorable and enjoyable.

Excellent Christmas Eve at The Bryant. From our drinks and appetizers to our entrees and sides, everything was very good. Service was excellent. The restaurant was a few degrees too warm but the pace, service and atmosphere made for a festive evening. Given how chilly it was outside, I'm sure the warmth was welcome to most. I'd recommend coming here for a future Christmas Eve dinner.

We sat by the window for a beautiful winter view. Our server, Miguel, was very polite, personable and attentive. He also took a bunch of photos for us at the end- very helpful. Food was delicious and my meal (salmon entree) felt well-balanced. Castle owner, Gary, visited our table and that of the other guests, which was cool to be able to converse and learn a little more about the castle. All the workers seemed to know him, so that seemed like a positive, too. They also gave my daughter a coloring book, crayons, and a yummy package of mini cookies to take home. Only negative was that the fire alarm went off during meal, which startled us. Then we were informed that happens sometimes because the castle's fire monitoring system is sensitive. It turned off after about 15 seconds. Overall, we had a really nice time and plan to go back.
