We can’t thank FARM enough for accommodating our large group of 12 yesterday evening. We were all in town for an afternoon IU game and they couldn’t have been nicer about our last minute reservation. The food was superb and our waitress was attentive! We’ll definitely return when we are back in Bloomington!

Great food quality, portions and presentation. Root & Bone offers a variety of different entrees with great flavor. Not your typical menu which is great for trying new things. They also offer a good kids menu that my children were able to choose from. Overall great experience. Will definitely be back!

The aesthetics were very nice, the food was amazing and our waitress Raizel was outstanding. I had the Pancake Tacos and my daughter had the Brie Stuffed French Toast. The pancake was amazing and fluffy, not dense and heavy. It was filled with egg, crumbled sausage, bacon and a little cheese…delicious! My daughter had the Brie Stuffed French Toast with Berries which was a nice mixture of sweet with savory of the Brie! Also quite delicious! Our waitress was friendly and professional, she was attentive without being overbearing. Will definitely be going back and asking specifically for Raizel!
