Summer in Central Florida means warm breezes, vibrant sunsets, and plenty of reasons to explore everything while visiting Clermont and Minneola have to offer. Whether you’re here to visit family, take in the beautiful lakes, or enjoy the sunshine, no trip is complete without a great meal. At Root & Branch Bistro & Bar, we offer a dining experience that goes beyond the ordinary. From seasonal menus to handcrafted cocktails, you’ll find flavors worth remembering long after your trip ends.
A Menu That Changes With the Season
Summer is a time for fresh, bright flavors. Our menu rotates to showcase the best local ingredients and seasonal produce. Think citrus-glazed seafood, house-made pastas, and colorful salads inspired by Florida’s rich harvests. Every dish is prepared in our scratch kitchen, where Chef Dave and his team create meals that are as beautiful as they are delicious.
According to Nation’s Restaurant News, scratch kitchens have become a hallmark of quality and authenticity. We take that to heart in everything we serve.
Craft Cocktails and Bourbon Flights
No summer evening is complete without a drink crafted to perfection. Our bartenders blend seasonal fruits, herbs, and premium spirits into cocktails you won’t find anywhere else. From refreshing cucumber-mint spritzers to bourbon flights that showcase smooth, caramel notes, there’s something for every taste.

Root & Branch isn’t just a restaurant. It’s an escape. Our warm and inviting dining room is perfect for romantic date nights and special celebrations. Prefer the fresh air?
