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.

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 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

The mussels for an appetizer were absolutely the best we ever had. My chicken pasta cordon blue was great and enough for leftovers the next day. My friend ordered the special which was shrimp, scallops, mussels in a white wine and fresh tomato sauce which was also wonderful. Wish this place was closer to home- it would become a regular dining out place for us.

Paid prime price for a choice steak, and my wife had the duck, that was good just not $36 good. Should have stuck with the menu entrees! I'll give them another try though.Food: 3/5

Two stars are generous at this point. Eat somewhere else.

However, after ordering the Adukt Grilled cheese, Cheesesteak egg rolls and Meatballs and grits we were extremely happy with the food. It is top notch, so there is something about doing a small menu but doing it VERY well. I highly recommend this place. The food, atmosphere and service is on point!

Yesterday we brought family with us and The Root was not disappointed. We had the Meatball and Grits together with the Fried Deviled Eggs. Delicious! A fresh salad was served on a cold plate with homemade dressing. Delicious. Meals were also great. People had the special steak and pork dishes. I had Scallops and Risotto and our last group member had the grouper, Scallop Cake Special. Everything was great, arrived on time and our server Natasha (I think) was wonderful. We'll be back before we go home for the summer. Thank you, Root

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.

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.
