    Chaotic service. List drinks they don’t have the ingredients for. Server was nice man but they brought over cooked oysters that were meant as main course 15 minutes before the remaining dinner was brought to the table so we didn’t really eat together.

    Was excited to try out new ownership, but it was a thoroughly disappointing experience. Ordered drinks and they took over 30 minutes to arrive, well into the main course. And even then, they weren’t prepared according to the description. Even once they arrived, drinks were not the $15 a pop price tag. My companions meal was delicious, but my meal and the appetizers were lackluster in appearance and just “ok”—certainly not worth the charge. Our particular server was very good, and definitely an upside to the experience. She did everything in her power to improve the experience. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll be going back.

    There isn't much ambience, at all. We got dressed up for a nice dinner out, and this just didn't fit the bill. One of our drinks arrived, and after waiting for quite a while, we had to ask about the other, reminding them to bring it. We don't believe the signature cocktails we thought we'd try had any alcohol in them, but rather just juice. Our server was nice, but really loud - not the vibe we were looking for an evening out. The food was pretty good - it probably would have been more enjoyable if our drinks had been made well. It felt like lunch at an okay restaurant. The final bill felt shocking after what we actually received. We won't be returning, but best of luck to this new restaurant.

    The food and presentation was over-the-top delicious. Our waitress was attentive and helpful. Some problems with the bartender who was new and some confusion with the happy hour menu but the delightful food overcame that. Our 6 top seating was not very comfortable but we will be back.

    Excellent service and ambiance. Got the huevos rancheros which was really dry. No sauce, no cheese, just beans, chorizo and a fried egg over taco shells with a tiny sprinkle of cilantro. Asked for salsa and they didn’t have any, but they did have green chili which I happily dumped over my breakfast. For $16, this could have been so much better! Definitely missing some ingredients!

    This restaurant is just getting started so patience is needed. Friendly staff, but not a hustle & bustle staff. Food & drink orders were slow to deliver. The price point is high for the amount & quality of food, flavors need some fine-tuning.

    Wanted to try the restaurant for the first time. The entrees were limited; cost was high; when I did not want the vegetable that came with the dish I was not offered anything that I liked; and the there was hardly any chicken on the chicken. It was fatty and had little meat. Left hungry. The sauce was tasty, tho.

    Way over priced, only 5 dinner options. Automatically added 22% of your bill back to your cost, for their employees to get insurance, not including any tips. Horrible experience. I'll never go back.

    I took my girlfriend here for her birthday dinner and we both enjoyed it a lot. The menu options are so eclectic and different, I love that. We had 3 starters that were all awesome (especially the bacon wrapped dates). For entrees we got Spanish Gnocchi and Chicken Mekhani, both were sooo tasty. We left there satisfied and we’ll be back. Of course it’s a little expensive but I think you get what you pay for so in that regard it isn’t.

    Happy to see a new restaurant in the Dickens Playhouse property, so we checked it out last night. We were hoping for a good experience and Roots did not disappoint. The atmosphere/decor was kind of retro, mid-century, eclectic and definitely an improvement over the previous decor. Our server was very sweet and admitted up front she was new and not 100% up to speed, but she did a great job. And the food was outstanding. Very diverse menu options so we chose four different entrees so we could share tastes of each. The chimichuri steak was cooked perfectly, the salmon was a large portion cooked just right, the tandoori chicken was delicious and the bison meatloaf really good. A little too much spice heat on the meatloaf but otherwise excellent. We will definitely be back.

    Mediocre at best. Eclectic and limited menu, a dining room that hasn't been touched since the 90's, and poor service. Priced like fine dining, but the service, food quality, and ambiance don't merit it.

    Had a nice dinner a few days before an brunch looked interesting. My Huevos Rancheros were very tasty and my wife loved her Chai French Toast and side of roasted potatoes. Enjoyed 1/2 bottle of Roederer Estate bubbly and a Bloody Mary. I don’t believe it was officially open as they are quite new but they let us sit of their great patio. Service both visits was very friendly and hard working. Will be back!

The brunch menu looks excellent. Our server Molly was sweet and on it! Had a glass of Ladoucette Sauvignon Blanc, BY.OTT Rosé, or Delas Cotes-du-Rhone Rouge. Newly opened; nice update of the previous restaurant.

    What an amazing place to have a lovely meal. The history of the establishment east so amazing and there were so many great details. I love what they have done with bringing their own flare to the far room as well. It’s really nice to see the two works fuse together in such harmony. The menu is fantastic and the taste did not disappoint. It was a lovely experience all the way around!

    We have been here twice before. The first time we were put in a outdoor igloo that was warm and cozy and the food was great. I ran around telling everyone I know that they need to try this place. Second time we went, we brought family to enjoy the awesome experience we had before. Sadly the food was not the same but at least the service was still great. The third time, My wife and I figured we are 1 for 2 so lets give it another shot. We made reservations for valentine's day dinner. The best option offered was a 4 course meal for $125.00 each person. We were excited thinking back to our first visit with high hopes for this time. Appetizers were the best part but neither of us are a big fan of liver. I have have had it many times and it was on point but I wish our server would have been better equip to describe what it was due to the fact they chose to call it foie gras. Translation = fatty liver. We didn't know and neither did our waiter. There was nothing wrong with this dish, we just didn't know what we ordered. Then the salad came. BOOOO A few greens. my wife had four mozzarella balls in hers and mine 1. On top was a failed balsamic dressing. Although It sucked so far we were still optimistic. Finally after an hour and a half we received our main course that looked pretty good but was a pathetic attempt. I don't understand what to this place. Our reservation was at 6. They were not at capacity with more then enough people on the floor. During our 1 1/2 hour wait for our food I witnessed a runner take a meal to a table that was just seated, After a minute our waitress noticed and literally punched him, informing him of his mistake. He went back, grabbed the food and set it on the proper table without regards to the fact it was in someone else's possession. VERY POOR TRAINING AND PROTICAL. They charge 22% auto tip and on the receipt suggested what we should pay for tip on top of that. $350.00 for the most bizarre restaurant experience ever!
