    I would like to give a shout out to Shannon for not only bending over backwards to accommodate a reservation that was modified several times but for also being our outstanding server. Thanks for everything!!

    Roots is that place you never are wrong for going to. The food and drinks are not only amazing, but insanely consistent every single time. The staff are inviting, knowledgeable, and simply on top of their game every single day. As someone who has travelled far and wide, Roots should be on everyone’s list of go-to’s. In terms of restaurants in the greater Rutland area, this should always be a first choice on anyone’s list.

    The perfect spot for dinner and drinks before a show at the paramount. The servers were awesome and friendly. The restaurant seemed pretty full, and yet the service was quick! I highly recommend the sweet and spicy margarita, and the cod entree. Both were excellent. The cod was served with fresh spinach and micro greens, a cilantro type sauce, scallion rice and corn/chorizo relish. All of the flavors complimented each other well and the portions were generous. We worried whether a 5:45 reservation ahead of a 7pm concert would leave enough time, but we had half an hour to spare in the end. It was great. Thanks, Roots!
