                                                  Roots & Revelry, once a vibrant dining spot with a "beautiful restaurant" and "great food," has been permanently closed. Patrons remember its "friendly staff" and "stunning" ambiance. Despite its closure, past experiences highlight its once exceptional "farm to table feel" and "delicious" offerings, leaving hopeful memories for potential future reopening.

                                                    Restaurant was closed until further notice. We had our nye reservation and were not informed of the closure. Terribly disappointing. Very unprofessional.

                                                    The restaurant is no longer open. We should not have been able to make a “secured” reservation or waste our time driving to the location.

                                                    Sad to say that the restaurant was not open due to death of the owner. We found out when we arrived in a neighboring business said they have been closed for over two weeks. Wish they had updated their system to not take reservations and do not send reminders we do look forward to dining there in the future, but they need to correct this issue.

                                                    This restaurant is permanently closed. We made reservations on OpenTable, and when we got to the restaurant, there was a note on the door saying that due to circumstances beyond their control, the restaurant was permanently closed. If you have made reservations, do not go. It appears open table has not removed them from their app.

                                                    Charged $120 reservation fee with Restaurant being closed evidently for weeks with no notification. Open Table, take this down so this Restaurant can recover if they decide to reopen after a horrific event of the owner dying.

                                                    The restaurant has been closed for weeks. Don’t make a reservation.
