We had a delicious meal at Taproot last night! The cocktails were inventive and so good. We have been huge fans of Jeff Taibe since Kawa Ni opened in Westport so when we heard he was back in FF County, we couldn't wait to try Taproot and he did not disappoint! Everything was delicious, but don't miss the chicken wings, hamachi appetizer, and roasted chicken!

Great date night spot! We ordered the butter lettuce salad, escargot, chicken and the burger. The salad was light and delicious with razor thin slices of watermelon radish and apples.The chicken might have been the best I’ve ever had. Uber savory and super moist. My husband enjoyed the escargot the burger, but my duo definitely won the flavor contest! Our server was gracious and attentive. We will definitely be back.

I'm not one to leave reviews especially a poor one. I hope this helps the restaurant to improve on the quality and taste of the food. Chef Rolland and his menu surpassed excellence. This new menu is nothing special. My brunch entree was not edible. Ate a little salad and 2 bites of omelet. My guests were also disappointed. The staff was mediocre as well. It's going to take a lot of work to receive the same quality and preparation of food Chef Roland prepared.

Our dinner for 4 on a rainy Saturday night was good. The flavors were well developed and everything was properly seasoned - we had salads, halibut, duck breast and steak tartare. The duck portion was a bit small. We ordered a San Giovese red for $45 and probably should have ordered the Bordeaux at the same price. Service was very slow, not all that important as we had a lot to talk about, but tables that came after us were served first. Our waitperson needed more training as she had trouble clearing the table between courses and remembering to bring new silverware. Price to quality ratio was correct.

We enjoyed the evening. Service was excellent and our server shared some favorite dish selections. Great menu, diverse options nice prices. The potato leek soup was especially good. Affordable wines and special wines available. Will definitely be back.

By far one of the best restaurants I've been to in the area! The food was amazing! Definitely would recommend the escargot and the Elk dish! I am a foodie and love to try new cuisines and this place did not disappoint at all! Staff was so kind and professional will 100% be going back! Also definitely get a reservation to be safe the place fills up quickly!

We had a delightful time and dined to acoustic live music. The service was friendly and spot on. The food was delicious; we had the cheese and meat platter to start and then the gnocchi and the chicken entrees. All very tasty and nicely presented. Thank you for a great time!
We loved the mussels, oysters, and burgers. The service is exceptional! This was a great spot for a Friday dinner and drinks with friends. I've also been on a Monday for Mussel Mondays. ????

Our second time, first with the new chef. We had a great experience and will be back. Delicious food, friendly, knowledgeable and attentive staff. Great food in a laid back, adult atmosphere.
Chalk it up to busy Valentines Day crowds and trying to catch up, but on non “holidays” we've had a much better overall experience on all parts. Will definitely be coming back but noted on things being slightly lacking during a busy or holiday type of evening.

Authentic French food served by attentive and hospitable wait staff. We loved the steak tartare, scallops, mushrooms, and delicious pastries like croissant bread pudding with dark chocolate and sweet cream milk. Excellent French fare at reasonable prices!

The food was very good. Copp Island oysters from down the road)My branzino was perfectly cooked simply roasted with herbs, my husband had the steak frites & Bibb salad large enough for two people. The wait staff was excellent & very friendly. Very casual & delicious

We had our first visit to Bruxelles since the change in head chef, which included a menu overhaul a couple of months back. We were so happy to see Ashley, by far our favorite server. As usual, she was great on any questions and had some cool recommendations based on the new menu. Most notable was the starter selection of the raw scallops Cru, which was super fresh and flavorful. The seafood soup and Bruxelles burger were great, and I was particularly pleased that there is still a selection of Gin Bowls from the bar. They could stand to have more than 3 varieties, but each of the 3 have a particular Gin brand. The old menu had like 10, but I get the fact that things change. Ashley is a key part of a whole new crew at Bruxelles, and we hope that they continue to reimagine offerings. Like many, we do miss the Tuesday special $1 raw bar. This was hugely popular from the prior regime. We will be a back to “new” Bruxelles, and look forward to seeing Ashley again!
