We wanted to love this restaurant- it is a beautiful spot- but our experience was terrible. We arrived for our 6pm reservation and our waiter immediately tells us that he is slammed and "putting out fires" that should of told us all we needed to know about how the evening was going to go. Upon hearing this, we decided not to order appetizers, just entrees. It took 1 hour for our meals to arrive. Our waiter disappeared, only available when the food was delivered. We asked for the check as we got our meal because we weren't sure when he would be back. He even commented that he would be back quickly with our check because that was easy. We ate our meal in 15 minutes and by 7:15pm we paid and left.

One of the worst meals ever. Wife’s fish could not be cut to even eat. I’ve never seen something like that. Their in house butchered filet tips could not be eaten. So tough. Very disappointed to say the least.

Our party of 4 walked in without reservations on 12/16 and found the atmosphere to be quite cozy and pleasant. We sat at a huge very comfortable booth. Our waitress was an A+. I first received a salad with a Gorgonzola dressing. I had never had that but it was similar to a blue cheese dressing. That was quite tasty. I ordered the fall scallop risotto and I loved it. I thought the shrimp almost tasted like popcorn, the scallops were perfectly soft, and the risotto retained a fabulous flavor.My wife ordered the butternut squash soup and although it didn’t taste quite like what she expected, she still thought it was great. She also got the scallops and loved them.My in-laws ordered the burgers and one loved it while the other had ordered it medium and it came out pretty red. It was rectified quickly.A couple of drinks were also ordered and really enjoyed.Overall I think this is our favorite restaurant in Georgetown!

Opens at 4 PM. A Georgetown locals fave but on way back from Charleston if it's near opening time, that's where we stop for dinner. The atmosphere is quaint and laid back, the daily specials and menu selection from seafood to chops includes low country influenced creations by the chef. They also feature a happy hour and the bar is has ample space for groups. Overall the service is very good but can get a little slow on occasion. We like a couple of other spots in town but for dinner, this is number 1.

The Ambiance was very nice. Noise level was good. The service was very nice and everyone in my party enjoyed the food. I definitely recommend Root.
Spent Friday night at the bar. I started with Fried green tomato and it was excellent. I had the wagyu steak and shrimp special. The steak melted in my mouth and the sides were delicious. The bread that came out with the salad was the best table bread I have ever had. I had the brownie dessert that was too big to finish. I enjoyed the meal soMuch I talked my friends intoComing back Sunday night to watch the Jets game. And once again the food didn’t disappoint. I highly recommend. The entire staff was very friendly and knew what they were doing. Already planning a trip back toMyrtle beach and will visit this restaurant again

Honestly, I'm not going to leave a rating as based on the other reviews, it could've been an off night (11-27-23). We drove up from Charleston to meet some friends for Dinner who were staying in Myrtle Beach . The staff were absolutely fantastic. Our waitress was extremely friendly and attentive. The appetizers and my GFs drink were both 5 stars. Both main entrees however were extremely lacking. We ordered the country fried steak and the blackened chicken alfredo. The CFS had no seasoning. The pan gravy, the meat nor the breading had any flavor. Potatoes also were lacking flavor. The alfredo tasted like the only thing added was the blackened seasoning for the chicken. We were extremely disappointed in our meals. I probably wouldn't have left a review, but it was a long drive home with our palates being quite unsatisfied.
