“My Wife and I went out last night with some Friends for Dinner at "Roots at the Silo", which is a Very Unique styled Restaurant that is located inside an old Silo. They are only open Thursday through Saturday and reservations are requested. This is our first time there and it is surrounded by "The Chicken Farm Art Center" - and they have scheduled Entertainment on Week-ends for Special Events, etc. Reservations were for 6:30 pm and we arrived on time and found the entrance on the first try. The entire area is set-up very cool with a Large Crayon Type Style Fence in the front with parking in back - with another Very Cool designed fence - and lots of unique buildings around. We were set up in a room just the right size for the eight of us, creating a Very Relaxed setting. Our Servers daughter served all of us our waters as we ordered our drinks from Kevin, our Server. Besides Roots at the Silo being in a unique setting, they don't rush you into anything and you can take your time enjoying your drinks, looking over the menu and chatting with the people you are with. And let me tell you, I heard some Very Interesting stories - and I took notes (just kidding - what happens at the Silo, stays at the Silo - lol) Roots at the Silo is kind of a French Restaurant, Bonjour la France, and the others stated that they don't speak French and don't know how to say the names of what they want. My Wife stated that I, her Husband, "took French in High School"... and they all looked at me and said; "Good, someone knows French." Then I replied that I did take French in High School but I thought it was a 'Kissing Class' - - - but I did pretty well. (i always try to help when i can). Anyway, when it came time to order we all kind of stated what we wanted but mainly pointed to what was on the menu - Kevin understood and orders were placed. My Wife and I are having the "Salade D'Epinards"; (which means Spinach Salad - i looked it up - and it says so right in the description) Spinach Salad with Bacon, Poached Egg, Croutons & Red Wine Vinaigrette. Most of the others also ordered this 'Salade'. For my Wife's Main Course, she ordered the; "Filet de Saumon Au Beurre-Blanc"; (which means what they listed) - Salmon Steak with Lemon Butter Sauce & Green Beans. I am having the "Troncons de Patauger A' la Duglere" (which means 'Sections of Wading at the Duglere / whatever the heck that means - see, i didn't keep it French there) This is why I just did 'okay' in French - except for the kissing part, which the class never got into. Anyway, they list it as; Filet of Flounder with a Tomato & White Eine Sauce - which makes more sense. Most of the others ordered what my Wife did, but three people had the "Filet Diane"; Tenderloin Steak with a Brandy & Mushroom Cream Sauce with 'Dauphinoise Frite - which means Potato Stuff (not going to go into it - but it's good). I am really glad I took French in High School - it has helped me so much ever since. Kevins daughter was very attentive in keeping our water glasses filled and seeing if we needed anything - at this point she earned the "Dollar-Bow-Tie" Award - then shied away from having her picture taken. But I did take it before we left - she was kind of hiding behind her Dad. In a short time our Salads (or Salade) were served -- they did look Delicious - and it was. Loved the Poached Egg in the middle of all the Spinach Leaves and Very Tasty Bacon throughout the Salade. When we all finished, Kevin and his Daughter cleared the tables to make room for our Entrees' - and filled our glasses with whatever we had. Then our Main Courses were served and both our plates are a Beautiful Presentation of Deliciousness. My Wife's Salmon is Flaky and has a Very Delightful Taste. The Lemon Butter Sauce is Very Tasty and compliments the Salmon perfectly - absolutely Love that sauce (she gave me a bite). I also had some of her Green Beans“
