    Always a solid dining choice! Fun, seasonal cocktails; creative menu fare. Appreciate that they take reservations - especially on weekends and if you have a large (more than 2) party. Can get loud as the place fills and it gets later in the evening. Wouldn't recommend if you're seeking a quiet place to have serious conversation. Love going with my partner or another couple. Often this is our pre-concert dinner venue.

    Our experience with Root and Bone was outstanding. Our waiter was very attentive and efficient. Our drinks and food were served in a timely manner. Our main courses were delicious. Our party had the spare ribs, fried chicken sandwich, iceberg salad w/chicken and chicken w/waffles. Everyone loved their dishes. The star of the meal was the cornbread. All of use enjoyed the flavor. Finally, the atmosphere was lively but not so loud that we couldn't carry on a normal conversation. In short, we will come here again.

    Very cute, friendly feeling restaurant. Attention to detail to piece all of the decor together to feel like a southern kitchen. The biscuits starter comes with salt, sesame seeds and a liquid butter broth, easily a 5 Star biscuit. The morel ricotta ravioli dish was okay - it had too many flavors and ingredients. The plate felt messy and … just too much. The tenderloin spatzle dish was realllly good, and the key lime pie dessert was so so good. Very happy with our experience overall.

    Angel Biscuits were wonderful! Entrees unique. Mine was excellent. My husband’s was not very hot but they made it right even though we told them it wasn’t necessary. Our server, Trinity was superb.
