Wanted to love it. Sushi was good! Server only quickly asked how everything was and some people said good but I twice I said the food was cool. He was busy and not listening or making eye contact. It was cool temp wise and we ordered ribeye and potatoes - 4 of us. I tried to tell him twice without making anyone uncomfortable, as it was my bday and I didn’t want to bring attention o the fact that I was disappointed . And he forgot my friend’s drink 3 times. We flagged down another server and got it. Other than that, everything was great!

We have loved Root Down for years! They always deliver, with amazing food and drinks, and service. We so look forward to every time we are able to come! I like the eclectic decor of the place, but wish they’d get rid of the blurry-photo tabletops they have. They feature weird old 50s foods, and are not particularly appetizing.
