    Food was great and server was helpful. Nice decor. Open dining area so it is not somewhere that offers a more cozy and private atmosphere.

    We've been twice now and both times were amazing. The food is so flavorful and you get a good portion for your money. The service was very attentive as well and the bar was fast with drinks. We plan visit again soon.

    We’ve wanted to try Root & Bone for a while, but waited for a special occasion; our 20th anniversary seemed like it qualified as “special” enough. The place was virtually empty with only 1 other table of 4 being occupied. Later on, another couple came in. Our server Kelsey did a great job! Menu items are pretty pricey, both food-wise and drink-wise. We expected the quality of the dishes to warrant the costs but that wasn’t the case. We ordered the Bacon Board and the Biscuits as starters; they didn’t disappoint, but they didn’t come cheap. My husband had the Duck Breast as his entree and mine was the Brisket Meatloaf. Both were just OK, mine bordering on “dry” and his bordering on “pressed”. Our entire experience was mediocre at best!

    Excellent place to dine. Menu is unique, but superb. We enjoyed every item, from appetizer to dessert. Bar is great, with some interesting specialties. A bit pricey, but well worth the time and money. Our server was over the top excellent. Very helpful in explaining menu items and recommending choices. We will definitely come back many times.
