The poutine was spectacular, and we loved the salmon and shrimp & grits. Will definitely be back!christina meyerchristina meyer ★★★★★ If you’re looking for a cozy place to enjoy a delicious meal and support a local business, Root & Branch is a must-visit. Highly recommend! Try their fried green tomatoes, you won't be disappointed.Mary MoanMary Moan ★★★★★ Great atmosphere and music...when's the last time you heard ELP out at dinner?! Friendly and helpful staff. The food was excellent! Fried green tomatoes and drunken scallops were so good, and entrees (Chicken and Dumplings, Gnocchi and Bolognese, Shrimp and Grits) were all unique and delicious! Will be back 🙂Rob RahterRob Rahter ★★★★★ We hadn’t been since Covid but eat out often closer to come. This is about 30 minutes away for us. But wife suggested it and we loved it. Just as good as we remembered! They had a great 3 course option so all four of us did that. Excellent!Robert WestRobert West ★★★★★ 10/10 recommend. We are visiting from Arkansas and this is one of the best places we have ever eaten!!Fulvia MedeirosFulvia Medeiros ★★★★★ Amazing food, you can to feel the quality in every bite, the restaurant has a warm atmosphere and very clean, me and my family had a great time.Alexus MedinaAlexus Medina ★★★★★ Nice place all the staff was friendly and attentive. I have celiac and they took it very seriously the cook came out to talk to me. Decent wine options. A good place to chill and have a drink.MissTapsitMissTapsit ★★★★★ A True Hidden Gem - Service was friendly and swift. John was an amazing waiter. The pork belly lollipops melt in your mouth. The Carbonara Noodles were the right tenderness and the Shrimp and Grits were absolutely delicious. Would definitely recommend coming here.Ashley GriegAshley Grieg ★★★★★ Our server was excellent. I don't remember his name but he was very helpful with recommendations. We had the pork belly appetizer and it was amazing! We also tried the fried green tomatoes and they did not disappoint. They have their own twist on them. Fried to perfection. My boyfriend had the strip. Not my favorite cut of beef but it was quite tasty. I had the shrimp and grits which was very good. We also had the pistachio ice cream and PB&J creme brulee. Both were great! Prices were reasonable for the quality. Our table was a 2 top directly in front of the glass side door that remains locked. It didn't bother us but if it were a couple on a romantic date it wouldn't be ideal. I would suggest having a pull down shade there to block the view of the parking lot/sidewalk, or keeping the drapes closed in that spot. We were overall very satisfied with our experience. Will be back when we come to the area again. Thank you for the fantastic service and yummy meal!Cynthia CardonaCynthia Cardona ★★★★★ Last night we went to this restaurant for the first time for a comedy show they hosted and left super impressed. The show was hilarious and the food was amazing, the pork belly lollipops are a must have! Our server was very nice and attentive. Overall it was a great experienceTim LewisTim Lewis ★★★★★ It's a great spot. Menu is different than most. The Waygu burger and chicken dumplings were excellent. The fries are the best I've ever had. The Fried Green Tomtaoes is award winning for good reason. They are outstanding. I'm going back!Jacoby BrutonJacoby Bruton ★★★★★ Root and Branch bistro bar is a hidden gem in Clermont, Florida. If you are looking for a great place with great service, fantastic food and an amazing atmosphere. Root and Branch bistro bar is the place you want to go. The owner Jason and his lovely wife provided me and my friends and amazing service that I will never forget. The food was amazing especially the R&B chicken lollipop. The same night they had a comedy night that was presented by Kool Mike Ski and that comedy show was an amazing experience, funny comedians from beginning to end. Hosted by very talented comedian named Jacoby Bruton. If you live in the Claremont area, this is one place. You definitely need to check out if you are passing through Claremont area this is one place you definitely.Steve LeFevreSteve LeFevre ★★★★★ What a find! Was looking for a wine bar in general area and saw the ratings for Root & Branch, so I decided to try it. Fell in love with this place!!! The food was wonderful. As a family run operation, the service was fantastic. Really felt like a guest, not a customer. And the prices were very reasonable. Hurry up and visit this place before it gets better known and crowded. I know I will be going back many times.Linda GajdaLinda Gajda ★★★★★ Jennifer is wonderful. Attentive, knowledgeable, impeccable timing and above and beyond. She even took the time to write on my take home container the contents and date. She is an employee who represents Root snd Branch in the absolute best way. Her enthusiasm for Root and Branch was both informative and admirable.The meal is an experience I will continue to savor in my memory. Presentation was a work of art with the Fried Green tomatoes, deconstructed BLT. The meal itself was delicious and I look forward to a future visit.The french onion soup was also visually appealing with a flavor that did not disappoint. Next was the creme brûlée.No words, just pure pleasure. Thank you for the best meal I have had in the Clermont area. It’s rewarding to support local talent and a menu with fresh ingredients. I will sing your praises to all I know.DeAnnA KnowlesDeAnnA Knowles ★★★★★ Nice place. Food was very good. Loved the fried tomatoes. Will be back.

The fire alarm went off but he moved us outside and made sure we got to finish the food while it was hot! Everything was excellent 😀Dr. DarkSky MartyDr. DarkSky Marty ★★★★★ New owners, still great food, still local...not a chain. Like all other restaurants getting a little pricey but still in line.

Happier that our local go-to is still a GO-TO.Dan McGonigalDan McGonigal ★★★★★ The food and service are among the best in lake county. Everything we ordered was delicious. I definitely would recommend trying this place out if you want a nice dinner.Brenda WalterBrenda Walter ★★★★★ Root & Branch is hidden gem in Clermont Fl has some great food. My boss recommended this restaurant and I finally got an opportunity to go and was not disappointed at all. The food was delicious and John our waiter was the best. This restaurant is hidden behind Sonny’s Bbq off of Hwy 50. The restaurant was clean and not had a few diners since we went about an hour before closing. We had the fried green tomatoes and truffled fries. Presentation was spot on. For dinner we had the lamb shank and pork chops - both well cooked and hot from the kitchen. The portions were generous. We had to get to go boxes.John gave us great service and suggestions for dinner. He was attentive and accommodating. So make sure to ask for him. I can’t wait to visit them again soon.Jessica KatzJessica Katz ★★★★★ Went to check out the new owners version of this place. Amazing service, tasty food, but not quite as tasty as it used to be.Brien BordenBrien Borden ★★★★★ Pleasantly surprised by our random selection of this restaurant. Great experience. Will go back again.Bob WehrleBob Wehrle ★★★★★ We make sure to have dinner here when we're in the area. Entrees are first class and our server knew the menu to the last detail.js_loader
