From the moment we arrived it was a warm and welcoming experience. We started with delicious margaritas and Apérol spritz with an assortment of appetizers of fried calamari fried pickles pork dumplings small clams greens and sausage ALL were divine! We were a lively group of 10 and never had to wait long for drinks food or water really sweet, professional and exceptional wait staff! Our entrées were varied from the coconut shrimp curry (yum! skirt steak pork tenderloin and the burger. Portions are large and we brought what we couldn?t finish home. Everyone was thrilled with their food, which is a HUGE feat as we are picky discerning food people! The chef even came out to say hello knowing how happy we were with everything. We highly recommend Scenic Root and will be sure to come back when we are in town. BRAVO!

While a quieter, dimly lit atmosphere can be nice, we were seated at a table that was so dark we couldn’t even read our menus. The nearest light was over a different table, making it quite frustrating. We noticed an open table nearby with better lighting and asked if we could move there, but the waitress informed us it was reserved, even though it was the same size as ours. We then inquired about other available tables, explaining that our current table was too dark for us to read the menu, but they only suggested we move to the bar. We're not particularly picky, so we accepted and relocated there. When the bartender came over to take our drink orders, I made my selection, only to be told that the keg had been emptied. Before I could suggest an alternative, she walked away to chat with her co-workers instead. After a few minutes of being ignored and realizing that their conversation was taking precedence over serving us, we decided to leave and found a great dinner elsewhere.

The service was excellent, the prices were reasonable, and the portion sizes were just right. My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary there, and we absolutely loved it! We even enjoyed a romantic stroll around the swan pond afterward. I highly recommend this restaurant!
