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.

Haven?t had the food yet, but 40 minutes after the order and the kitchen staff seems to have difficulty getting orders if not even busy (seriously not busy, Buzz?s Roost is open and busy, this place is not) and we can not even catch the bartender eye to get a second drink while we wait? Two stars are generous at this point. Eat somewhere else.

Good food. Sea bass/ shrimp and gilled erdge salad was amazing. Loud in the back room.

We had the Sunday brunch. Everything was amazing. 10/10 would recommend..

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.
