Fantastic!Kelly JoKelly Jo ★★★★★ Laid back, relaxing...Food was good and the fried bread pudding with caramel sauce was to die for!Katrina NaxeraKatrina Naxera ★★★★★ Amber was such an amazing server! Such a divine light! I had vegan restrictions and she and the chef worked hard to make me a special meal that far exceeded my expectations In every way! Will come back just to experience the kindness and attentiveness of Amber and the best food ever!sandy ginebrasandy ginebra ★★★★★ I did not eat here as of yet but I will in the future because I met one of your most beautiful bartenders at a nearby 7-Eleven the way that she carried herself in Elegance I knew that she worked for somewhere fancy so I asked her where she worked and she named your restaurant she's so beautiful and she must make a lot of money I'm a server myself but for a different type of ambience... With that being said I'm a mom of five children and I only had $6 to put into my tank which I did she was behind me I told her to have a wonderful day... I go outside and I start pumping my gas and sure enough it passes $6 enough to fill up my whole tank which I started to freak out because I thought the girl inside and made a mistake and I'm thinking in my head how am I going to pay this... Nope you're beautiful angel of a bartender was leaving told me to have a good day I asked her if she had done this and she told me yes and she told me that God is good and that everybody deserves a hand... Well I need to give kudos ty her thank you she blessed me that she's an angel and that you guys have a wonderful person on your team she's a light-eyed bartender she looks like she's Spanish with beautiful eyesAlena DrvosAlena Drvos ★★★★★ What a treasure of dinning experience. The food, service Tast and dish presentation was outstandingPhil PecoraroPhil Pecoraro ★★★★★ I’ve been meaning to try this place for a while, and 4 of us finally had dinner here tonight. I made a reservation online, and received email and text confirmation. We arrived on time and were promptly seated.Root and Branch did not disappoint! Our meals were great, delicious with a beautiful presentation. The pork chop was a “chef’s favorite”, and it quickly became mine too. I ordered it medium rare, and it was cooked to perfection, really juicy. The broccolini was very tasty, and it also came with mashed potatoes. The pan roasted cod was also really good, tender, flaky and delicious.Our friends had the flatbread and a burger and enjoyed their meal. We followed dinner with the chef’s crème brûlée, and the four of us shared it. Quite good.Our waiter did a great job, friendly, explaining things on the menu, refilling our water, making sure everything was good. The food arrived in a timely manner, fresh from the kitchen.The atmosphere is good, with a beautiful, although empty, bar in the center of the restaurant. They do have a nice outdoor seating area, but perhaps it was too warm tonight and no one was sitting there.The pork chop was $29, the cod was $38, and the dessert was $13. We all were happy and satisfied and agreed we will be back.Diane HouseDiane House ★★★★★ Ambar was an incredible server, pleasant and thoughtful. It was great to meet Jason too! The Brussels sprouts, and fried green tomatoes were absolutely amazing! They knocked it out of the park with their wine list! Thank you for a wonderful evening!N BassettN Bassett ★★★★★ Three of us had cheesesteak while our Vegan friend ate the mushroom dish. We were all very happy. Really enjoyed the service Lisa provided, she was kind, friendly and had a super beautiful smile 😊 The food tasted incredibly fresh and seasoned perfectly. I will definitely be back.Robert TaylorRobert Taylor ★★★★★ We had a party of 9 coming together this past Thursday night (3/8/25) for our daughter’s college graduation and I can’t say enough about how pleased we all were with the food, service, and atmosphere.. The food was fresh, hot, and flavorful. Our servers were on point, very attentive to all our needs as well as making us all feel at home. The pork Wellington is to die for I must say.!!! Highly recommend Root & Branch to everyone, … you won’t be disappointed!!!Sonya CloudsTheaterSonya CloudsTheater ★★★★★ Our waitress Amber was amazing A beautiful personality with and smile to match! The food was truly amazing! The fried brussel sprouts were really great and for the first time at a restaurant they were not oily - super delicious- crispy and with bacon!

Sweet, helpful and super friendly and so was the rest of the staff we connected with.Jason the owner very nice and friendlyDefinitely recommend and will be backJon GJon G ★★★★★ We should have come sooner! Ambiance, food, service and cocktails were excellent 👍💯. We showed up around 6pm and were seated right away, within an hour it started filling up. We tried the pork belly, amazing, crispy outside and super tender inside. Old fashioned and margaritas were on point! For dinner, burgers were very tasty, pork wellington and salmon were delicious, everything was tasted around the table and everything was given nods and mmmmmmm's. Cream brule was served cold, little dense which was different, but still tasty. Overall, great place to celebrate or take guests! We will be back! 😁marco ruedamarco rueda ★★★★★ We had a wonderful dinner. The food was delicious. Their service was outstanding and we love the atmosphere highly recommend this place.

He is a great people person, a terrific waiter and answered all our questions. A great assertion to any restaurant.David PerazaDavid Peraza ★★★★★ Amazing food and great service by Bartender Matthew . We've only been here twice but I was super impressed that he not only remembered what we drank, but also what we ate! The pork belly lollipops were out of this world. Brussel sprouts also great. We also had the steak and au gratin potatoes equally as good!! We drove 30 minutes just to come back here for dinner! Sooooo good ! Oh and make sure you ask them to fry your bread pudding 🤤JoAnn GoulartJoAnn Goulart ★★★★★ Food was Delicious.. Best Fish Sandwich I Ever had! The Bourbon Burger was excellent!Andrianna SaporitaAndrianna Saporita ★★★★★ Honestly, we came in with high expectations and they were exceeded. The food is well priced, delicious, and unfortunately so yummy that I forgot to take a picture before I ate it. (Sorry) I ordered the crab cakes, Brussels sprouts and my friend ordered the bourbon burger. Their drink menu is really cute (and clearly curated in house), and the wine menu has a pretty solid offering of wine selections. I ordered Chardonnay and she ordered a Martini. I sometimes question small restaurants and having corked wine-but that is not the case here. Everything is fresh, delicious, and yummy. Both drinks were wonderful. The only thing I would say is that the crab cakes had chunks of bell peppers-which just isn’t for me. The flavor of everything was on point. The service was wonderful, and the manager walks around and checks on everything. I saw him darting between the kitchen and the front of the house to check on guests and food, and clearing tables. I didn’t get his name, but our server’s name was Amber. Small businesses are struggling right now, and this is a place I would be sad to see go. I would highly recommend coming here for a good bite and good service, in an unexpected location.Emily OwensEmily Owens ★★★★★ We had the most incredible time at Root & Branch! The food, service, and staff were absolutely wonderful. They accommodated us for our wedding rehearsal lunch, about 27 people, and absolutely went above and beyond!I highly recommend them! The fried green tomatoes are also out of this world. Definitely the most incredible people and establishment in all of the area! We LOVE them!Marie Cameron- REALTOR- GRIMarie Cameron- REALTOR- GRI ★★★★★ Master Chef David planned our Valentine's dinner 💖 for my guests of honor. Dr. May speaks many languages and has traveled the world and said our chef's table dining experience was the BEST in CLERMONT! Her favorite was the lightly coated cod with asparagus. I enjoyed many of the surf and turf options but the award winning Fried Green Tomato with remoulade was surprisingly MY favorite. Each plate was colorfully decorated with pretty micro greens.The house French Rose wine was the perfect compliment to our meal. The service and timing of the dinner was ON POINT. Just when I thought we savored so many wonderful variety of plates to taste- Chef David and crew prepared a dessert board! Everyone raved about the caramelized French toast creation. I couldn't get enough of the light and fluffy strawberry layered trifle. Much appreciation for a memorable evening. I voted for you as best dinner for South Lake Chamber.js_loader
