Roots is one of our favorites. The service is always impeccable and the food delicious. The waiter was very knowledgeable and ensured that food allergies at the table were considered. Thanks for a lovely evening!

Been there many times and have never had a bad meal last time I had a salad with scallops. Husband had special chicken on roll sandwich. Ice tea was good and all deserts are perfect

One of the best dinners of my lifetime. Scallop salad. Beyond delicious. I went there for lunch and sat outside. The kale salad and mocktail were fabulous. Loved it so much I went for dinner the same night (I was in Rutland just for a day.) There is also meaningful sculpture on the property and a wonderful huge mural on the restaurant which you see when approaching the building. Can't compliment it enough. Go there!!

i had sent a request for 2 glasses of sparkling wine to be served upon our being seated and, voila! the drinks appeared with speed and grace! The excellent service throughout our dinner made a very lovely evening for us.

Mushroom flatbread wrap was delicious. Exceptionally friendly service. Great outdoor seating ambience and very dog friendly. Highly recommend.

The scallop salad was full of flavor, and delicious. Service outside was exceptional and we were completely comfortable. Can't wait to go back.

The restaurant is super cute and the locations is wonderful. The food is good but not excellent. Service was just ok. Not attentive but ok.
A hidden gem in this small city tucked in a pedestrian alley. Service was incredibly fast and the food was outstanding with very generous portions. My wife's chicken was so good she ate the whole thing without intending, while my pork dish reminded me of an upscale German pork roast dish.

Roots always provides an exceptional experience with unique food. I truly appreciated our server Maeve who answered my question regarding the strawberry relish with honesty saying it was sweet with herbs but comes as a side. That truly helped me make my decision to try it. Although the relish was too sweet for me, the salmon special was great even without it - my husband will love it! Great end to a pre-holiday work week. Of course, I will be returning - again!

Roots is one of Rutland's better restaurants. The service is friendly and efficient. This evening's meal was good, the highlight would be the Brussels sprouts and their “fondue” (not really a fondue) was also well done. The main's were okay, the burger came cooked as ordered, but it apparently had zero seasoning during preparation and was simply okay .... needed salt and pepper which for me have a bigger impact when done during cooking. The beet salad was also okay, the beets had the right consistency but essentially flavorless. I don't know if the kitchen is trying to appease the world by not seasoning, but it's not working — except maybe for those who object to everything.

Very good experience, some entrees seemed overpriced. Overall I would recommend the restaurant and will definitely return

We were quite pleased to find such a pleasant place to dine in Rutland. Ruland has some rough edges and is struggling to become a place safe to visit. Roots provided a calm, classy and enjoyable atmosphere to relax and dine. The staff were quite professional. The menu has a variety of options for all appetites. Was quite pleased to see a wide variety of non-alcoholic cocktails as the person who was the designated driver could imbue some tasty drinks. Highly recommend.
