    Our meal was delicious and our server Ambar was wonderful. She was very attentive and very quiet relaxing meal that we had there. We highly recommend Root & Branch and we plan on going back in the near future.

    Excellent food and service!! We had the scallops to begin with, wonderful! My husband had the wagyu steak and I had the pork Wellington for dinner. Both so good, our plates were empty. We each then had the crème brûlée for dessert, yummy! My husband had a margarita, made from scratch, not a mix like a lot of places. Highly recommend Root + Branch.

    Inventive, perfectly prepared meal in a casual environment. Our waiter was charming and informative, and we were lucky enough to meet and chat with the chef. This was our third visit-highly recommend.

    We had a great experience with bartender, Matt. Wedge salad, Fried Green Tomatoes, and the Drunken Sailor starters - all were excellent. The cream sauce for the Drunken Sailor has a whiskey component that gave it a very unique flavor. The short rib ravioli with butternut squash was our main course. It was also quite good. We will be back. Thanks Root & Branch!

    Not much atmosphere inside - one big open room so the acoustics are not great. Service personnel are very friendly but the food took a while for it to come out. We ordered salads and a few apps. Portion size was not great and the greens on the house salad was extremely skimpy. Probably will not return.

    I normally visit this location during the week and have had wonderful experiences. Our last visit was on Saturday night at 6:00. It was busy and the service was less than favorable. We waited an extremely long time for our meal. We weren’t checked on by our waitress until our food was almost ready and was told they were making the salad which was eventually brought out with our meal. Then never checked on again. The scallops were over done and the food was room temperature. We were also missing silverware which was never brought to us and had to ask at the bar. We asked for water to be refilled but didn’t get any until our meal was finished and waiting for our check. We were very disappointed with this visit. We will return but definitely only during the week.

    Fries are lame and limpy. Soup warm and not hot and the onion soup was more than 50% bread with not enough liquid
