Was User at Root Bone a mag?
I absolutely love this restaurant, and the food is amazing. However, I was a bit disappointed with the atmosphere during my last visit. The restaurant felt cold, and the manager sat right next to us behind the plexiglass, eating a burger and texting, which took away from the overall experience. Our waitress was very sweet, but something felt a little off this time. The food was great, as always. View all feedback.
What User dislikes about Root Bone:
Given this feeling of haste, I’m not inclined to return for dinner as there are plenty of other restaurants that don't impose such time restrictions upon arrival. Additionally, I noticed that it felt a bit smoky at times, and despite the partitions in the space, it felt quite close to the other diners.
I also observed that the waitstaff did not inform other patrons about their time limits, which made me feel uncomfo... View all feedback.
For appetizers, we had the pork belly and scallops, which were delicious. For our main courses, three of us opted for the special Mediterranean sea bass, and it was superb. We finished our meal with cheesecake and apple cobbler for dessert, both of which were delightful. Everything about the meal was perfect, from presentation to the balance of flavors, freshness, and temperature. We also enjoyed a great view of the kitchen in action, with Chef Ray orchestrating it all. Thank you for a memorable evening!
One of the BEST restaurants in Ontario! The food is simply amazing and exceptional! Every meal, along with the cocktails my partner and I tried, left us in awe. We've never tasted venison or pickerel quite like this before! Additionally, the staff was welcoming and friendly, with Katie, the manager, being especially attentive. We will definitely make the trip back to this restaurant regularly!
The food was outstanding, and the service was exceptional. If I could give this place 10 stars, I absolutely would! We hosted a surprise birthday dinner for our girlfriend and celebrated the end of summer on their beautiful patio. Everything we ordered was delicious—we decided to share a variety of appetizers. I would definitely rank this as one of the top three restaurants in Niagara that you must visit. The waitstaff made our evening truly memorable.
For one who has such expansive experience cheffing for the rich and famous around the world, Chef Ray Taylor is humble, kind, and down to earth; we feel honoured to be served by him and his team. Every detail of every dish is exquisite and thoughtful. Everything is delicious and a felicitous culinary dream. We are regulars for a few years and we've never been disappointed. Never mind the 5 stars here, he is a 3 Michelin Star chef and restaurant! Read some of the reviews here and not shocking that they are all excellent. Note: when dining at a place like this, etiquette would dictate that one need not ask for extra salt (or pepper either probably), so definitely not fried onions!
My dinner experience at Root and Bone was absolutely charming and delicious and I would definitely recommend this spot for a romantic night out, a celebratory dinner, or an indulgent dinner for the culinary foodie. I was also visiting with my dogs and the management very kindly allowed me to dine outside with my dogs sitting quietly by my chair, so I'm grateful the accommodations for my pets and for taking care of them as well by setting down some cold water for them on a hot summers day. This restaurant dedicates itself to highlighting the best of local Ontario ingredients, and specially tailors their menu to reflect seasonal, fresh ingredients. I had the pleasure of enjoying the fresh baked sourdough bread, fried zucchini flowers, wagyu beef pappardelle, and venison steak with roasted seasonal vegetables. Every dish was cooked to perfection and presented with elegance and flair. Their cocktail selection was unique and exciting but for those wishing to stay sober the bar was able to make any cocktail a mocktail, so I also enjoyed a hibiscus lavender lemonade sans alcohol, truly refreshing for a summer evening. One of the many delights of dining at this restaurant is enjoying the atmosphere, the staff take great care of their diners and are friendly and attentive, while the lovely string lights lend an attractive ambient glow to the al fresco dining experience, and even the washroom facilities are elevated with the gentle aroma from lit scented candles. My only regret is not having a large enough stomach to get dessert, for the strawberry elderflowers cheesecake with pistachio gelato sounded particularly enticing. Alas, I will have to visit another time to partake in another delicious meal!
