Stopped in for lunch while in the area. Food was delicious - especially the crispy brussels sprouts. The mushroom beef burger was so good that I’m going to mix mushrooms into our ground beef patties at home. Staff was attentive. It gets busy during peak hours. There is street parkingParking: Don’t know if parking is free always but it was while we were there for 1 hour

We decided to try the root tonight for the first time after hearing my co-workers rave about how good it is. They were not lying! I got the ginger soy wrap with brussel sprouts and it was so good! Everyone in our group really enjoyed their food. The kids meal is really nice and a great option that is different from other restaurants. Our waitresses were attentive and friendly. We will definitely be back!

I've heard/seen rave reviews by several folks. Unfortunately, I cannot concur. They're a little overpriced for the amount of food you get. The wait, 30 minutes on a Friday night, wasn't terrible. However, I should have gone with my first instinct and left. The waitresses were decent. Three of them made sure our order was taken. Once the food was brought to the table, none of the waitress came to ask if we were okay or to ask how our food was or if we needed anything. The atmosphere isn't extremely inviting, pretty dark and bland. Sadly, the food was less than mediocre and served on the most unappealing plates.
Loved the Maple salad! The sweet potato bits and brussel sprouts were delightful.

One of the best places you'll ever eat for under a hundred. The staff are kind, friendly and knowledgeable. The service is perfect, always! But the food, wow! Theres always a new special and its always amazing! The atmosphere is cool and chic but not stuffy. We love this place and have for years!

Food was bland, thought the two wraps were safe but nah. The grilled chicken did not have grill flavor, the grill marks were lying. The crispy brussell sprouts were burnt. The kitchen needs some love so the food can shine.
