Wonderful lunch/brunch spot! Popovers offered with every meal. Nice drinks as well. Can be very busy

Lovely food, service and ambience. The restaurant was laid back but the food was high end. A great place for quiet conversation and comfortable delicious dining. Def recommend.

The bar glows. Quite nice if you're exactly the right high. What's nicer is the service which was quite par at 7 p.m. on a very busy Friday night. What's even nicer, the food was prepared rather tastefully, seemingly by a chef who cares greatly about providing a quality flavor. It's hard to find one who won't overdo a pear salad these days.. Thank you, Roots and staff for doing what you do!

Had an excellent experience tonight while enjoying dinner with a friend. Atmosphere and service was on point. Food was delicious. I drive through the area often, but don't usually stop for food - I would definitely take a break to enjoy a meal here next time I am in the area.We decided to share a bunch of different plates so we could sample more of the menu. Highly recommend going this route. This was a perfect amount of food for 2 to share.Highly recommend a detour into downtown if you are in the area, instead of stopping at one of the chain restaurants off the highway.

It was a little hard to find this place because it's tucked around the back of the building. It's got a really nice courtyard and I would love to get back there in the summer to sit outside. We visited just to have a drink and a snack at the bar this time. They had a small tap list, but the beers they had on tap were good choices. We ate the housemade chips with blue cheese dressing and they were very good.

Butternut squash soup, one of the best soups I’ve tasted. Braised pork delicious, salmon excellent.

Eclectic menu - loved the lobster starter with aioli, potatoes and bacon. Squash curry soup was flavourful and served piping hot. Portions were generous. Service was friendly and timely. We found one dish salty but still ate it all but the server voluntarily removed it from our bill anyways - and gave us extra whipped cream for our Spanish coffee. The best restaurant that we have been to in Rutland.
Roots was recommended to us by the place we were staying, Mountain Meadow Lodge. The food was delicious and our waitperson was great! Cool little place in downtown Rutland, 20 minutes from Killington. Highly recommend!

Hidden gem in Rutland! If you are skiing at Killington or Pico does miss this fantastic spot! We loved the portobello mushroom appetizer, beet salad and salmon. All were terrific!

Overall, this was a great experience. The Bang Bang Shrimp were xooked perfectly and the sauce was wonderful.My son ordered the ravioli and left full and happy. The ribeyes was cooked PERFECTLY.The bartender set us up even though we didn't think to make a reservation.If in town, GO.

Outstanding service and food. My family and I all enjoyed it, it was also nice and warm. My grandchildren got cheeseburgers and they went on all night about how good it was thank you.
