   I brought my niece here. First time for both of us. Superb! I had the Smoked Old Fashioned cocktail, with the smoke adding a nice layer of flavor to the drink. The layering of flavors was the theme at Rustic Root. We shared the crispy Brussel Sprouts and Crispy Artichokes. Again, excellent layering of flavors with just the right amount of spice to both. For our main dishes I had the Scallops with Snap Pea Risotto and my nice ordered the Roasted Local Cauliflower with Farro. Again superb on both, especially my niece's dish. Many vegetarian meals in restaurants have no real depth to the flavors in the dish but here it did. My only suggestion would be to possibly offer two vegetarian dishes on the menu rather than just one. An excellent evening from beginning to end. Will be adding Rustic Root to my list of favorites and will definitely be back.

   Rustic Root was great as usual. I had only been there for brunch and my latest outing there was for dinner. Ambience was great with dim lighting. Food was fantastic and fresh as usual. I took a newbie with me and she thanked me for introducing her to the restaurant. I will definitely be back!

   My husband came here last night for dinner and loved it! We ordered cocktails (winter sangria for me, old fashioned for him), the tuna appetizer, a burger (him) and chicken milanese (me) -- all were fantastic! The service was wonderful and food came out super fast.

   Rustic Root is one of our favorite places to dine as well as hang at the bar. Food is delicious. There are no bad choices. Menu changes throughout the year which means everything is thought out and prepared with care. Drinks are also staple. Best Smoked Old Fashioned that I have experienced. Staff is very warm and friendly but a special shoutout to Hailey, Sam & Gio who all made a special evening memorable!

   The food was fabulous! The short rib barley soup - best I've ever had! Reservation was ready upon arrival and the servers were attentive from start to finish. Have already sent 2 other parties and both have thanked us

    My family and I were there on 12/7 @ 6:45 pm. The service was very good. I enjoyed my salad with grilled chicken. My husband was not happy with his though. Putting a skirt steak on a roll without cutting it is not a good idea. My daughter enjoyed her meal. Prices were a little bit higher than expected.
