We elected to sit at a high top in the bar and received outstanding service from Jenn, Ross and Shannon. A favorite VT restaurant! The food is consistently great with a solid wine list.

A friend based in Europe got in touch with me. I had seen him once in the last 52 years. He came to Vermont from Boston and I discovered he eats a Vegan diet, so I took him to Roots. We sat outside. The food, from the appetizers through the dessert, was fantastic. The service was friendly and efficient. I rarely give a five star reviews, but Roots in Rutland earned it.

Outdoor table on a beautiful evening overlooking sculpture garden was perfect way to enjoy craft beer, nice wine selection,and specialty cocktails with dinner before a concert at nearby Paramount Theater. Eclectic menu was interesting with many choices including burgers, cod, ribeye, and my selection, lobster risotto, all yummy. Leave room for dessert. Banana pudding was a favorite. Priced well. Our second time there and we will return when dining in Rutland's charming historic downtown.

We sat outside for lunch on a lovely sept day. Inside seemed a bit dark and chilly for the day. Food was great. Service was great, although it was pretty quiet. Have also been for dinner before and will go again.

My husband ordered the scallops and said they were delicious! I was delighted to see tofu with rice and vegetables on the menu, and they did not disappoint! I also splurged and ordered the Roots Coffee. Yum. Decadent!
