    It has great potential but the atmosphere takes away from the food. Short Rib Ravioli was our favorite entree we had.

    Nice vibe & greeted warmly, server was friendly & super good at it. French Onion to start delectable then the grilled Caesar excellent . Could’ve used a little more dressing. I ordered the Lemon Caper Chicken. It was outstanding the sauce was spot on. There was enough to take home . My friend ordered Short Rib Ravioli outstanding . I look forward to my next visit.

    Excellent food and service!! We had the scallops to begin with, wonderful! My husband had the wagyu steak and I had the pork Wellington for dinner. Both so good, our plates were empty. We each then had the crème brûlée for dessert, yummy! My husband had a margarita, made from scratch, not a mix like a lot of places. Highly recommend Root + Branch.

    Inventive, perfectly prepared meal in a casual environment. Our waiter was charming and informative, and we were lucky enough to meet and chat with the chef. This was our third visit-highly recommend.

    We had a great experience with bartender, Matt. Wedge salad, Fried Green Tomatoes, and the Drunken Sailor starters - all were excellent. The cream sauce for the Drunken Sailor has a whiskey component that gave it a very unique flavor. The short rib ravioli with butternut squash was our main course. It was also quite good. We will be back. Thanks Root & Branch!

    Not much atmosphere inside - one big open room so the acoustics are not great. Service personnel are very friendly but the food took a while for it to come out. We ordered salads and a few apps. Portion size was not great and the greens on the house salad was extremely skimpy. Probably will not return.
