    The vegetarian sliders hit the spot. The sweet potato fries and dip were delicious and cooked just right. The lentil soup was a fantastic change with the apple chutney in it. Over great experience and would recommend!

    We had a delicious dinner. Since we had 5 of us, we were able to sample quite a few dishes. Our favorites were the beet salad, the rockfish tom kha, the short ribs and a papparadelle mushroom dish. For dessert, the chocolate hazelnut pie and the carrot cake were amazing. Our server was great and the dishes were served with just the right amount of time between the courses. The only negative was that we were somewhat close to the front door and since it was a cold night, every time the door opened, we felt a cold draft (we kept our coats on). A vestibule would really help.

    Root Down put on a very good Valentine's Day show. The food, service and professionalism was stellar. They left no stone unturned and we benefitted from all their planning and hard work.

    The Valentines Day menu was meh at best. For a total of $280 for two with tip I expect to be wowed. The appetizer was very small. The Caesar salad was ok. The main course was semi warm. The desserts were awful. My husband took a bit and had to down a glass of water while exclaiming what was that. If you want to pass out from the heat on the porch this one is for you.

    The food was delicious and visually a work of art as presented on the plate. We went for Valentine's day, and Root Down created the perfect atmosphere to celebrate love. The service was amazing, and the staff were super helpful, attentive, and had a wonderful positive energy. I forgot to ask the name of our server, but she was excellent, as was Grace, who helped us make sure our reservation was perfect.
