My girlfriend and I dined on a rainy Wednesday evening, the restaurant was just about empty thus the only reason for the 4-star rating on ambiance. It was sort of nice to have the place to our own!! Service was excellent, (thanks Angela), and the food was fantastic. App, two drinks, two dinners and tip under $120. Definitely would dine here again, especially next time we are doing something at the Paramount, which is just around the block. Well decorated, awesome background music for dinner. Could not have been happier as a first-time customer. We will be bcak!

The food was excellent! It was carefully prepared and the flavors were wonderful! We each got something different and enjoyed it all plus sharing the Brussels sprouts app. Delish! The OpenTable app, however, hadn't notified them that we requested banquette seating, but that was quickly remedied and was our only disappointment. Other than that, we will return time and time again to ROOTS!

I would like to give a shout out to Shannon for not only bending over backwards to accommodate a reservation that was modified several times but for also being our outstanding server. Thanks for everything!!

Roots is that place you never are wrong for going to. The food and drinks are not only amazing, but insanely consistent every single time. The staff are inviting, knowledgeable, and simply on top of their game every single day. As someone who has travelled far and wide, Roots should be on everyone’s list of go-to’s. In terms of restaurants in the greater Rutland area, this should always be a first choice on anyone’s list.
