Scenic Root has a delicious menu with a nice variety of dishes. They recently added gluten free pasta to their menu. I had a gf chicken marsala that was divine. Their take out packaging is well designed and maintains the flavor well. Dining in is am enjoyable experience I recommend doing as well. During 2020, Scenic Root handled the changes extremely well and did an amazing job transitioning to go to orders. I am very grateful to them for the tasty memories my family could make at home!

Waited to be seated for an extended period of time in a half full restaurant only to be told they had no seating. Bartender/hostess not cordial

Not quite fining dining but upscale casual. Menu changes with the seasons. Summer menu was nice I just prefer the Fall/winter style. But great service and a very cozy atmosphere. Worth a trip.

Stumbled upon this gem by accident while passing through town. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable and the food was delicious. We ordered salad, salmon and a sandwich all were made with fresh ingredients that were paired by a skilled chef. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
Dietary restrictions: Very aware of nut and dairy allergies.
We had a bottle of wine, baked fish, mashed potatoes and Brussel sprouts. I also had apple crisp with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. Everything was delicious. The staff was friendly and the service was quick.

Love going to ‘The Root!’ I love that I can always get something different that I would never think of making at home, like shrimp meatballs!! Fantastic. We enjoy sitting at the bar but their whole space is cozy and beautiful. Service is great. Perfect place for a date night, have had bday dinners here with family and friends!! Love it ???

After the recent passing of my Father in Law, our family was looking for a place to celebrate his life after the funeral. One phone call to Scenic Route and they more than accommodated us. They opened early, helped us plan a simple yet fulfilling menu, and stayed open until the last person was ready to leave. Mike and Tiffany were helpful, thoughtful and wonderful to work with during a difficult time, and I would recommend Scenic Route without hesitation. We have always enjoyed this gem in Manlius, and now have yet another reason to visit.

It’s a lovely quaint eatery in Manlius which has seen ups and downs over the years. In the recent times it’s been excellent. Been there twice in the last month. Food quality is great, service fantastic and a nice cozy space with a full bar. The cranberry chicken and the shrimp tacos have been a big hit in our family. I would love to see a vegetarian burger added to the menu. Unreservedly recommended.
