Feedback
Tucked on Front Street in downtown Georgetown with a waterside dining room, Root serves inventive coastal comfort—mussels, peach crostini, shrimp & grits and a memorable whiskey sour earn frequent praise. Knowledgeable, friendly servers and a warm atmosphere make it ideal for date nights and gatherings. Expect excellent flavors but occasional slow service, staffing shortages, inaccurate menu listings and variable drink availability; specials can feel pricey. Many diners find the food and ambiance worth the occasional hiccup.
Located on front street in downtown Georgetown. Arrived at 630 pm with reservations. Sat in back room with water view. Waiter was prompt to arrive who bring menus and waters; and take drink orders. Had Brussel sprouts firecracker shrimp appetizers to start the evening. Both were excellent. I opted to order their Parmesan grouper which consisted of Parmesan fried grouper over white cheddar grits and sauteed spinach, topped with 4 fresh fried shrimp, pickled red onions, horseradish cream sauce, and a balsamic glaze. It was an excellent choices and served hot. Great service from the staff and restaurant has excellent ambience for any gathering. Highly recommend if get the opportunity.
We started with Root salad, a cobbling of mixed greens, red and gold beets, tomatoes and cukes, topped with goat cheese, toasted pecans and accompanied by warm bread. Caleb, our bartender/waiter was friendly and steered us to good menu choices, with a ready smile and known suggestions (nowadays more rare than an aged waygu steak). The pan-seared trigger fish with rice and Carolina green beans was superb. Had Tuscan butter sauce on the side—glad I did because couldn’t stop eating it! Nice ambiance with bar seating under shell lamps and outdoor, inside tables and booths. Also large dining room in rear. One of the best road trip meals we’ve had!
We stopped in during our first night in town. Our bartende, Bex, was amazing! We had the mussels, burrata salad, and grouper bites. Everything was great. We even order extra bread to dip into the mussel sauce! The Blondie for dessert wasn't the best, but still great with our after dinner espresso martini!Food: 5/5
Atmosphere was wonderful and the staff was extra friendly and attentive even as busy as it was. Tasha was covering it all with a smile on her face. I wanted to try every appetizer and I probably should've! The meatballs were so good! I was set up withpretty high standards but unfortunately the Bolognaise didn't hit the mark for me.
Hands down, one of the absolute best meals I have ever eaten. As a chef and restaurateur, I cannot recommend this place enough. We started with the peach crustini and drinks the appetizer was unique and the Whiskey Sour was killer. My girl friend had theShrimp and Grits and I had the Pork Chop over sweet potatoes. She said her grits were perfectly seasoned and the cranberry saucethat came over top the pork paired well. And our server Rick was great too he was very knowledgeable and fun and made ourexperience even better. Like all restaurants, they are short staffed and are experiencing shortages but that is the currentrestaurant climate and that should not discourage you from giving this place a go. You will not be disappointed.
