    Great elevated comfort food in a cozy restaurant with friendly staff. We let our server Trinity know we were headed to an event after our meal and she brought us a delicious meal and we were out on time. The food is always creative and terrific at Root & Bone and we will surely be back.

    The aesthetics were very nice, the food was amazing and our waitress Raizel was outstanding. I had the Pancake Tacos and my daughter had the Brie Stuffed French Toast. The pancake was amazing and fluffy, not dense and heavy. It was filled with egg, crumbled sausage, bacon and a little cheese…delicious! My daughter had the Brie Stuffed French Toast with Berries which was a nice mixture of sweet with savory of the Brie! Also quite delicious! Our waitress was friendly and professional, she was attentive without being overbearing. Will definitely be going back and asking specifically for Raizel!
