Restaurant bewertenThe root has been a consistently great venue for lunch and dinner for my wife and I. We have not been disappointed yet, highly recommended.
However, I found the posted hours at the entrance to be a bit confusing. I visited on a Thursday afternoon, and while it wasn't very busy, the staff was incredibly helpful, especially since I had a toddler with me. As for the menu, there’s a wonderful selection of appetizers and outstanding main course options. I had my heart set on the Ribeye steak, but it seems it has been taken off the menu due to some complaints about its fattiness. Just a quick reminder: Ribeye is supposed to be fatty! Instead, I opted for the NY Strip, which was excellent, but I still wish they would bring back the Ribeye. One standout feature of this restaurant is its impressive selection of hot teas, a rarity in the U.S. and certainly in Waterford. A huge shoutout to the owners for this—it's a perfect example of true hospitality. Regarding prices, you get what you pay for: it's reasonably priced, but it’s certainly more than your average diner. You're paying for real food made from scratch, not reheated meals. I will definitely be returning!
We were promptly seated at one of the back booths, we are all spaced out from one another. Bon Jovi's living on a prayer is playing in the background right now. Abby is waiting on us. She's nice, attentive with our drinks and clearing our plates and split our scallops for us too. Guns N' Roses is playing now, knocking on heaven's door. They are clearly rooted in rock at this establishment. The host is diligently cleaning off tables, seats and even the door hatoo. Bowl of mushroom soup, small spinacia salad, small heirloom salad and scallops to split. Eating light since we aren't starving, but have been wanting to try this place out. Why not, since we are nearby. My limeade is rather syrupy sweet, but they tried at least. Asked for a club soda and lime instead. The mushroom bisque is not creamy and was rather underwhelming for me. I have had some fantastic mushrooms soups at Inn Season or at Cafe Muse, this one fell short for me. The mushroom is like a chow, food processed nicely after cooking, some creme fraiche dollop would even make it a bitsmoother and creamier even. Mushroom soup was a 2 for me, wasn't special or what I was expecting at all, especially as a bisque. The spinach salad wasn't bad, dressing was good, Brie slice was nice, almonds gave it a bit of crunch. The tomatoes were not ripe enough. Was a solid 3. The heirloom tomatoes look a bit over ripened to me, as were the watermelon, which shouldn't even be in season yet? The red pepper corns are a nice kick and texture to the salad. If I were to ever get this salad again I would get it with the dressing on the side, it was a bit heavy on the oil, still a decent dressing. Was a 3 for me. The scallops were perfectly cooked, nicely browned, risotto wasn't bad, hints of garlic, nice small slices of asparagus to keep the sizing in sync with the rice. The scallops were a solid 4. The service was quite good.
My husband and I want to thank The Root for a WONDERFUL Valentines Day evening! Each course of our meal was incredibly fresh and delicious! So BRAVO to the chef ! The service and attentiveness was also spot on. This was our third year coming in for Valentines Day and it never disappoints. We are to make it a point to come in to treat ourselves more often!
