    Root & Bone is always excellent! The food and drinks are consistently created and served with care, and the service is top-notch (including Lindsey on our latest trip!). We've been to dinner and brunch several times, and it has become one of our neighborhood favorites.

    We loved our whole experience. Service was great, food was delicious. The only reason I marked the food down one star was because my husband felt like the brisket meatloaf could’ve been less dry. He did ask for extra sauce and that made it better. I highly recommend the shrimp and grits, it was delicious. If you get the specialty bourbon, sweet potato martini, it is strong and well worth it!

    Solid meal. Very attentive service. Didn’t love sitting at a high top as an alternative to sitting at a low top in the middle of the restaurant floor, but food was very good, wine and cocktail options were solid, and overall it was a nice meal.

    Fantastic dinner at root and bone. We as a group enjoyed the biscuits, appetizer, the ribs, the duck, and the salmon. The ambience was energetic, but fun. Will definitely be back.

    You need to try the biscuits or you have missed the one of the things the restaurant is famous for.
