Root 29 Craft Kitchen & Bar

Please be careful going to this place. I used my credit card to pay for some drinks and 2 days later they ran my card again for the same amount. I called the ABC managag was supposedly going to look into it and call me back. After several days past the day he was supposed to call me back. I called again, they claim they have no record if the second charge.

It is rare in my travels that I find a Doubletree hotel with a restaurant…this Charlottesville BA location has this restaurant and it is a great place with good food and they will accommodate basic changes well. My bartender/ waitress was Alisa…funny, pleasant, creative and accommodating! It was fun watching her interact with people throughout the night. I got the portobello burger but with as veggie burger topped with mushrooms and a side salad instead of fries. She makes an incredible martini but I also saw her create a Brown Derby for a guest that turned into a few more for more guests. She is worth her weight in gold and should be treasured!!

Because of the reviews I went in with average expectations however our food was amazing! I got the pan seared salmon with brussel sprouts. I was extremely surprised at how great the flavor was and the crust was perfect. We also got the loaded bbq cheese fries as an appetizer and they also were extremely flavorful. I would recommend to anyone!

I've gotten breakfast multiple times while visiting the area and it's been a consistent good breakfast. Quick, but not rushed. Decent value and relaxing before a days work .

Was a great coffee spot on our way to Chapman's Peak. The staff was friendly and the porch was so cute and inviting.

we got to the hotel fairly late and the restaurant was about to close in 20 minutes or so and the waitress was very attentive and courteous and brought us refill drinks and the food was delicious. The atmosphere was breathtaking; very modern and cozy.The blue fireplace on the wall added to the comfortable ambience. The bartender was very friendly and very easy to talk to, he was very welcoming. My whole experience with the restaurant/ bar was excellent and I would highly recommend it to anyone in the Charlottesville area.Janet and David

Salmon not so good, but bbq sandwich was really good. Service was fantastic. Clean, sterile, modern feeling lounge bar with table tops and some tables.

Kid-friendliness: Kids possible, but more of a bar feel type of hotel lounge.

Parking: Hotel parking

Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor level easy, flat rolling from parking lot.

It’s a shame this restaurant is so well decorated with beautiful touches all around, however that is not enough to save the mediocre food and service. You can also tell when a place is dead on a Friday night that’s not a good sign, although granted it is in a hotel. Drinks were slow and the bar couldn’t make mocktales (or at least server didn’t know what it meant), burger was raw and had to be sent back, and had to ask for kids menu and crayons for 4-year-old (should be standard).Our saving grace was a BOGO coupon otherwise it would’ve felt like a waste. They should throw in a complimentary visit to the pool to ignite interest in this place, otherwise it’s a hard pass~

Resturant is located inside the double tree hotel. I had a nice seared salmon on grilled brussel sprouts. The bar is right there also so you could have a drink. Very fast service and food turn around. The restaurant does not currently serve deserts but will be starting I was told I'm March or April of 2023. The menu is limited but you have enough to choose from if you don't want to go out and stay in the hotel.This resturant also serves the buffet breakfast. For 16.00 or 17.81 with tax a great breakfast spread.

This restaurant has gone downhill since the renovation and turnover they did about six years ago. The breakfast menu and buffet are pretty good, but past that it's lacking, especially for the price.Service did improve quite a bit this year, which was nice to see. That had been one of our biggest complaints in previous visits, but this year I had far fewer problems with time.
