the night started off with a small hiccup because the hostess forgot to call us when our table was ready. we came back after the estimated time anyway and they had a table ready for us. the situation worked itself out. it was a perfect size menu- not to overwhelming, and they had an additional small seasonal menu. weorderedthe cherry wasabi tuna for an appetizer and it was extremely good. they paired a sweet cherry sauce, wasabi sauce, and spinach with the tuna and it all worked together perfectly. for entrees, weorderedthe pork chop with horseradish potatoes and the chicken prosciutto sandwich with a side salad of baby bleu (an extra charge). the pork chop was a bit over cooked, but everything else was amazing. highly suggest the sandwich and salad i ordered. for dessert weorderedthe grasshopper pie and vanilla ice cream. the grasshopper pie (mint) had perfect consistency and wasn't an overwhelming flavor. overall, it was so great and we'll definitely come back!

love/hate. i stopped in with some friends last night for dinner for the first time at the root cellar. the decor and art make for an interesting setup for this little place. the menu was interesting to say the least. they seemed to have a little bit of everything to try. we started with the tilapia cakes, bruschetta, and chips and salsa. the tilapia was very flavorful and nice along with the bruschetta that came with some nice house made pesto.

that was the love side of things....the hate came with the entrees. my wifeorderedthe pasta with mushroom cream sauce. first off it was a gigantic portion which i wouldn't normally complain about but this time it was just pasta. there was hardly any cream sauce to speak of at all and what little you did get was flavorless. iorderedthe risotto with shrimp which was also another gigantic portion. the risotto was not creamy at all and the parmesan was not fully incorporated into the dish as well as the shrimp being over cooked and rubbery.

all in all the place was nice but i was disappointed in the finish product, especially for what we paid (about $10-$16 an entree.) i would try this place again but i would be very leery of the pasta dishes from what i have experienced.

huge disappointment.. the atmosphere was really promising and i had read good things, but this turned into one of my all-time worst dining experiences ever.
maybe it was an off-night, but we waited almost 2 hours for our entrees and about another 1/2 hour after that for our server to cash us out.
it was really uncomfortable being stuck there that long and i seriously considered just bailing on the check. our son actually fell asleep at the table while we were waiting for the waiter to bring back our change.
it was a friday night, to be fair, but there were only about 4 tables filled when we got there, although it did get pretty packed later. the server didn't seem new, just a little indifferent. he took about 20 minutes to take our drink order, then got it wrong. i think he was under the impression his tip was in danger, so he just wrote us off.
the atmosphere was pretty great, although the antique chairs looked a lot more comfortable than they felt, especially after sitting in them for 2+ hours :(
the whole experience was kind of a nightmare. the food was pretty average, and we just wanted to leave, but had alreadyorderedand eaten our appetizers, and we couldn't find our waiter to ask for the check (even though it's a small place). in fact, he barely came back to our table except to make a few lame excuses and blame the cook.
neeeever going back there.
