    We celebrated our 60th wedding anniversary at Southern Roots. Our server was outstanding. He made us feel very special. The food was very good as was the ambiance. We had spent our honeymoon at that hotel so the recent experience was very meaningful.

    Went just after my fiancée and I got engaged and we absolutely loved the place. I requested champagne ready at the table and they delivered. Our waiter was excellent and extremely friendly, and all the staff was very welcoming. The crab cake was the best crab cake I’ve had in the south (I’m from NH and not to brag New England crab cakes are better than southern crab cakes), my steak was incredible and my fiancée’s fish was delicious. The kitchen liven prepared a little fruit plate with chocolate hearts on it for the special occasion, for which I didn’t even need to request. The restaurant was beautiful as well and we would love to come back again in the future, thank you Southern Roots for making our perfect night more memorable!

    Very disappointed. Booked the reservation a month ago. Service was good but the food wasn’t especially for the price. Gumbo and salad were ok. Ribeye had potatoes covered in sauerkraut and pork belly which didn’t pair well. Steak wasn’t cooked or seasoned well. Gnocchi was over cooked. We barely touched the food and the waiter didn’t ask how it was or why we didn’t eat much. We don’t mind spending on great food and service but this was $200 without alcohol. A good judge of how food is, look at how much is left on the plates afterward. We noticed other diners were the same as us. Would not recommend.
