Supper club vibe! The food is always good, most dishes are generous portions. Be sure to save room for the after dinner drink cart, I highly recommend the ice cream chocolate hazelnut!

Great food and service! Friendly welcoming staff took care of us well. The restaurant was quiet during our late afternoon dinner. It was avery pleasant experience. I would recommend trying it ,

Our dining experience began with Lisa, our server, shaking our martinis table-side. Nice touch. Glass filled to the brim-no spills. Mine was a perfectly mixed Cosmopolitan. Appetizer menu is so varied. We chose Ahi Tuna Tartar and Goat in the Garden. Perfect, Delicious, Fresh! We loved the table side Salad preparation! The four entrees we ordered-Salmon Dijon, Braised Lamb, Caprese Chicken, and Parmesan Chicken were all well-seasoned and tender. Attractively arranged with various fresh roasted root vegetables, perfect risotto, pasta and potatoes. Lisa is a wonderful professional server. This restaurant is a real gem. Check out this Best Restaurant in McHenry.

This was our first time here, and I will absolutely be back. We loved the salad bar and the adult dessert bar! Great ideas. Our food was excellent, and the service was spot on. We had the short rib ravioli, which was outstanding, and the Chicken Marsala, which was very good.

Uprooted is a hidden gem. Food and service is outstanding. A little disappointed that the “adult dessert” cart is only available on the weekends. Overall great experience. We'll be returning

It gets too loud when busy. Couldn't hold a conversation with just the 2 of us. Not the ambiance to go with a great meal.

The first experience here left me wanting more and I'm surprised it took me so long to get back. Finally had an opportunity and let me tell me I will be making this a more frequent pick.

Last night I arrived earlier than my friends and the hostess was extremely friendly, understanding and patient while I informed her of how many and that I was going to wait a little. She ensured a table was cleaned and ready for us but made me feel comfortable and was a delight to start off the night. Once we all made it to the table, our waitress Sarah could not have been more wonderful throughout the night. The atmosphere gives you a very casual warm welcome, while the menu gives you a slightly more upscale feel without the price or pressure. All of the options had us torn so we ordered 3 different meals to split, got extra plates and ordered dessert cups to split as well. The food is top tier. The quality, flavor and presentation doesn't go overboard and also is not to be underestimated. Everything is absolutely perfect in every way. We got the braised beef ravioli (Do not waste this sauce almost anythingelse on your plates even french fries goes perfect with the left overs), Greek chicken avocado salad and also the lobster roll. Thiswas hands down one of the best meals I've had in a long time and couldn't find a single complaint. Their little mousse cups are to die for. We tried out the Snickers, Butterfinger and Andes mint. The way the staff was so accommodating and attentive to help us enjoy such a wonderful night together. I will be going back again. Thanks Uprooted for two wonderful experiences.

A hidden gem. Many pass Uprooted by, due to the looks of the building. I'm glad, because then it's easier to get a reservation. The food is always excellent as well as the service. We shared the pork chop this time. A huge chop, probably an inch think. Cooked to perfection. The vegetables are cooked fine as well, not overcooked as most restaurants do. The fitting end to the evening is the Liquor cart which Dan the owner brings around. Maybe 40 different choices. Dan know where they came from and what taste they offer. Love this place.

Went here for an anniversary dinner while staying at the Waterfront hotel. Surprisingly diverse menu, with a supper club vibe. Friendly staff and excellent food. Highly recommend.

Reese

The food was great as always, as was the service. Uprooted is one of the very best restaurants in McHenry County.

Janice

Uprooted is not a new experience for me, or my friends. We have never been disappointed in the food or service. I feel comfortable recommending Uprooted to anyone that enjoys a fine meal in the McHenry area.

Ines

Food was so delicious, flavor on point. I got the bacon cheddar burger and my partner ordered the lobster roll. Not gonna lie, the fries were a bit pale but looks can be deceiving because they were just right in flavor and crunch. Service was amazing, really felt treated here.

Emma

Hidden gem in McHenry. I didn't expect it but was pleasantly surprised. Very charming inside and the food was absolutely delicious. Beet crostini was mouth watering and the steak was done to perfection. Definitely coming back.
