    Root Down put on a very good Valentine's Day show. The food, service and professionalism was stellar. They left no stone unturned and we benefitted from all their planning and hard work.

    The Valentines Day menu was meh at best. For a total of $280 for two with tip I expect to be wowed. The appetizer was very small. The Caesar salad was ok. The main course was semi warm. The desserts were awful. My husband took a bit and had to down a glass of water while exclaiming what was that. If you want to pass out from the heat on the porch this one is for you.

    The food was delicious and visually a work of art as presented on the plate. We went for Valentine's day, and Root Down created the perfect atmosphere to celebrate love. The service was amazing, and the staff were super helpful, attentive, and had a wonderful positive energy. I forgot to ask the name of our server, but she was excellent, as was Grace, who helped us make sure our reservation was perfect.

    We had an enjoyable time. Friends were wonderful. Server was great. However I just felt like the food was a little flat for me. It’s been more than five years since I’ve come. And I’m a big fan at the airport. Although I give that a little bit of grace in the sense that it’s such a fast turnover out there And actually the food that I’ve had there was better than my chicken. I think I was expecting a little more for $31. It was tasty although it wasn’t super tender and it’s called chicken two ways but it was really just as simple single breast. I don’t know I was expecting more of a woodfired oven sort of thing that had Two different variations. I’ll probably come back and try it again, but it did leave me lacking.

    Food was very good, but not excellent. The rock fish was great. The un-ions and short rib were only good.
