    The food was disappointing. Really wanted to like this place, but it just wasn’t great, especially for the price.

    We had a really nice dinner with Root & Bone last night. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly with suggestions for us throughout our dinner. Food was delicious. Ambience was warm and friendly without any pretense. Would definitely recommend Root & Bone to friends and family!

    A great neighborhood gem! Everything was excellent and service was great. It is really great that they allow you to bring in your own wine and just charge a small corkage fee! The only item we didn't care for was the corn pudding as it was quite dry, but all else was fantastic!

    Meals were delicious and Drew was awesome! We love this place and have been here several times since we discovered it. Will not say another 9pm reservation though. Staff began cleaning for the night and it was obvious they were ready for us to go.
