Restaurants near Shangri-La, Houses at Pittsfield

Roots is that place you never are wrong for going to. The food and drinks are not only amazing, but insanely consistent every single time. The staff are inviting, knowledgeable, and simply on top of their game every single day. As someone who has travelled far and wide, Roots should be on everyone’s list of go-to’s. In terms of restaurants in the greater Rutland area, this should always be a first choice on anyone’s list.

We’ve had some inconsistent experiences at the River. Really enjoyed it when they first opened, awesome chicken wings app (large sized pieces), good clean food. Seemed like it went downhill after Covid, trouble finding good/experienced staff, food was disappointing. Our food was much better this time, burgers cooked as ordered, fries weren’t greasy/soggy, and our server seemed knowledgeable. Gripes: the salmon dish is underwhelming for the price, the rice that came with it was bland. Also the desserts were mediocre, cheesecake and mousse layer cake were cold and the cheesecake didn’t seem homemade. Overall, though, better than previous recent visits, and hopefully things are on the upswing!

Just love it here ! Cozy classic Woodstock lunch restaurant. Definitely my favorite spot in Woodstock for a nice meal.

The service, food and beer was fantastic. Aly our server was right over to greet us and take our beer order. Later when we needed a refill, she immediately appeared. At just the right time she was back for our food order. Both Mrs. B and I had the burger with fries. The burger was perfectly cooked medium rare and the fries are so delicious. In between other servicers would stop by to pick up empty glasses. WOW!!!

Had a great time! Enjoyed the drinks and food. We went on a slow night which made it perfect for us since we had a baby with us
