    The ambience and the welcome at the door were warm and inviting. I love the bar. I love the restaurant to the right and we were seated at tables that were within the bar. Every portion of your meal was exquisite. The pallet is very unique. I highly recommend we will definitely be coming back again. The wine is absolutely divine and the choice of wines especially those from New Zealand are one of my favorites,— brilliant Sauvignon Blanc, and many choices. Desserts were outstanding. We had the banana crème brûlée and the apple pie. The crust was outstanding. The service was excellent and this place is gonna get amazing notoriety it’s very different from the past owners of the building. it’s beautiful we enjoyed every stage or course of the meal.

    We really enjoy going to Root and Bone. They have a very talented chef and an interesting menu with great food. We have been there for Saturday dinner and Sunday brunch. Both were very good. The restaurant is very nicely decorated, and the sound level is decent. All the staff are super friendly and the service if at a good pace. Horseshoe may be a little off the beaten path, but the drive is worth the experience.
