Rootstock Wine & Beer Bar

Rootstock is perfect in every way. As said to a friend this morning, prompting this long overdue review: If you can't make a new friend or bed a lover here, it wasn't meant to be.

We had to return a couple dishes, one had too much salt and the fish entree was over cooked. Things happen in the kitchen but no one acknowledged or apologized for these errors. The server didn’t even ask if we wanted to try another entree. She just dropped the check. They did comp the 2 dishes, though. Hopefully it’s a one-off situation because we live in the area.

Obsessed with this place. Such a large selection of wines to choose from and delicious food. Super small inside and gets crowded fast so I would recommend getting there right when they open.

Highly disappointed, the girl with a lot of tattoos all over her. She was sitting people down. She was clearly intoxicated I witness her drink multiple times. I got here @8:20 and didn’t get seated till 10PM I WAITED. She sat down 4 other grups before me and my friend. She sat two young women before us as they walked in. Special treatment? Idk why it if I waited almost two hours. She claimed they were hear before me but how can it be possible if i was here sitting for 2 hours waiting. Highly disappointed food was so mediocre maybe bc I was upset I don’t know but NEVER AGAIN TERRIBLE PLACE

One of my favorite restaurants in the city! Warm, inviting, and unassuming—the food is incredible and the wine menu is extensive.

We came here because of the rave reviews online and I always like to research restaurants that are allergy friendly for my wife. To say that I was disappointed is an understatement. Not only did the wait staff seem uninterested in our table, but they were also genuinely not able to accomplish the simple decency of getting back to my wife about a food allergy that she asked about at the beginning of the meal. To top it off, a burger at any restaurant should be easy task to heat to the appropriate temperature. It took the chefs three times to cook a medium burger and the first two times it came out rare, which is ridiculous because it also took them 25 minutes for each attempt. I never like to write a poor review, but the fact that they did not do the bare minimum to make sure my wife’s allergy was appropriate and messed up the cook temperature is enough to warn others be cautious when eating here. They did not even acknowledge or apologize for the inconvenience. The full price for the burger that we paid, and the 1 hr 15 min to get it right without confirming it was safe for consumption, is why I am so disappointed in writing this review.

My favorite burger that I’ve ever had in the city. I could not believe how incredible this place was. Got a pretty cheap bottle considering the quality and it was perfect. Everything else on the menu looked amazing and I can’t wait to come back and try the rest. Our server was not around very much but it seemed like he had the entire restaurant to himself so he did great all things considered.

Amazing every time. Get anything on the menu and your won’t be disappointed

Rootstock is kind of place you gate keep, but I will not be like the Reddit hive mind of mouth breathers. Go here with friends and family, and enjoy some of the best food in the city. Spread the word!

You can expect a slight wait especially at prime time but it’s well worth it.

The kitchen team is killing it at the moment, they’re putting out amazing food with character and precision.

The service staff are pleasant, attentive but not clingy.

Really interesting and fantastic wine list, ask them for a suggestion and they’ll steer you in the best direction.

The menu changes often, always check their website, if something is seasonal, get it, the chefs are really pushing for the best/most in season products ergo the best at that moment dishes.

Go here, enjoy yourselves, share with the people you care about the most.
