We had a wonderful Saturday night dinner that we enjoyed immensely. The cod was cooked perfectly as was the salmon. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive.

Roots consistantly serves good food. Casual restaurant, great bar. High quality, valueand presentation are delivered. This restaurant can get noisey when busy, the night we dined at the bar, it was not busy.
Clara
Food and service consistently excellent. Fresh ingredients. Highly recommend the Roots salad and the tomato/basil soup. And crème brûlée!! With cocktail of choice it's the perfect place for dinner before a show.

I took my spouse to Roots for his birthday. He ordered the ribeye, which he said was "pretty good" and he enjoyed the accompanying potatoes and carrots. I ordered the coconut-crusted cod which was topped with pickled veggies and came on a bed of scented rice, accompanied by baby spinach. All were delicious! Spouse had the carrot cake a la mode for dessert, which was very tasty. Beer and wine were good, but I thought a bit pricey. Our server, Trey, gave us just the right amount of attention, and added a candle to my spouses birthday dessert-a very kind touch! The only drawback to Roots is that it can be very loud in the restaurant, to the point of being quite irritating. I'm sure management can find a reasonably priced, easy solution to absorb some of that noise. I hope they do.

Nice little place in downtown Rutland. Was given a gift certificate from someone that really enjoys this place. Some tables, like ours was quite dark. My husband and I both ordered the VT ribeye. Came with a mound of glazed carrots. If this was written on the menu, I would have asked for a substitute or left off the plate as not to waste. I personally don't like cooked carrots. My husband said they were delicious. We both agreed that the potatoes were OK and needed seasoning. The steaks, my husbands was under cooked but he isn't that picky. And ate it anyway. Mine was supposed to be medium. It was nearly raw. We never send things back to the kitchen in any restaurant. For one, the point is to eat together in a restaurant. And from working in kitchens in the past, I have seen some stuff. We brought the steak home and cooked it and it was actually pretty good. I feel like since I told them I would cook it at home they could have knocked off $5 or something just for the inconvenience. But thats ok. Would we go back? I truly believe in 2nd chances. Yes. We will give it another try. This could have been a fluke thing. And now we know about the carrots. Which im sure everyone but me will love

Great food and service. Although, the noise level is a little too high for comfortable conversation.

Jenna was excellent as usual! It was the Rutland Halloween Parade night and they were busy

Tre was phenomenal! Bristle sprouts as an app, ribeye and duck as entrees and the carrot cake and cheesecake to finish us off! I got a N.A. drink; the blueberry and lemon spritzer. Everything cooked to perfection with a nice vibe to boot! Thanks for the great meal!

We had a wonderful evening with friends. Our server Christian was a treasure and kept us entertained all evening! I appreciate the menu not being overwhelming and offering curated dishes, as well as the nightly specials. Drinks were tasty, as well. Brussels sprouts and calamari were delicious and my flatbread wrap with mushrooms was delicious. Christian was informative and personable. Hope to get back there soon!
Stuart
Nice dinner. Duck was excellent. Salmon a bit over cooked. Great service and nice atmosphere in restaurant. We look forward to going back next time we are in town.

Flavor of food and sauces was terrific. Loved the sauce with the calamari and the sage au jus with chicken. Cosmopolitan drink was great. We got there a little early and it was no problem. Wish they had heaters for outside cause the patio and lawn looked lovely. Jenn our server was great.
