We had an absolutely outstanding dining experience at Root Down. I was excited there was a spot available on Open Table. It has been a while since I have gone out to dine in a restaurant. Let me just start by saying, the food was amazing. We had these bacon wrapped pepperdew peppers appetizers with a fondue sauce, diver scallops that were cooked perfectly, the Squash "Onion" Rings were fried to a perfect crisp. But what made this experience the most special was our server, Gigi. She was quite possibly one of the best servers I have ever had in my life. She was so kind and knowledgeable and had such a vibrant personality. I recently lost my 5 year old Chocolate Lab, Lucy on January 19th very suddenly. I was shocked and truly devastated. My Mom flew in from Florida to help me cope. This was a special night out, to get some positive energy and be together and talk about memories of Lucy. She brought us 3 chocolate trufffles as a small homage to my Chocolate Lab. It was so sweet and memorable. Thank you Gigi, the bartender who made our delicious and fresh ingredient cocktails, the food runners, the kitchen, the hostess who was so kind. My Mom, boyfriend and I will never forget this. Thank you!!!!!
