    Food and services was amazing! They were at capacity so there was a slight wait after our reservation time but they brought us drinks while we waited and were absolutely lovely!

    First Visit. Great experience during the Friday Happy Hour. Friendly & Knowledgable staff ( greeter, servers, bar team). The “Don Draper” cocktail is a keeper. We will repeat & ask for the phone booth corner soon!!

    We've been coming to Root Down for years, past couple visits haven't been great. Food is a bit bland, one note without the depth of flavor we're used to. Our latest visit was for brunch and my egg sandwich was really unexciting, ordered a side of bacon and it was soggy. Just disappointed overall.

    Loved it! Ate here years ago, came in for my friends birthday. Bottomless mimosas were totally worth it! Everything was fantastic! Service was amazing! Loved it and will be back!

    All of the food is cooked in sunflower oil and the portions were very small for the price. Our waitress also seemed unenthused to be there and like she just wanted to get her last table over with for the night. It had a nice ambiance inside but I thought the food would be much better than it actually was given the prices and the reviews.
