The Root Restaurant And Bar

We were promptly seated at one of the back booths, we are all spaced out from one another. Bon Jovi's living on a prayer is playing in the background right now. Abby is waiting on us. She's nice, attentive with our drinks and clearing our plates and split our scallops for us too. Guns N' Roses is playing now, knocking on heaven's door. They are clearly rooted in rock at this establishment. The host is diligently cleaning off tables, seats and even the door hatoo. Bowl of mushroom soup, small spinacia salad, small heirloom salad and scallops to split. Eating light since we aren't starving, but have been wanting to try this place out. Why not, since we are nearby. My limeade is rather syrupy s...

Absolutely amazing place! Probably only Top **** restaurant around White Lake/Waterford area with exquisite menu . It's not your typical dinner menu, it actually does reflect true meaning of word restaurant. It has a wonderful menu and all meals are made from scratch. Great location, plenty of parking. Clean, friendly staff members. Operational hours posted on the entrance are bit confusing though..... I went there on Thursday afternoon and it wasn't too busy, came in with todler, they were super helpful. Menu wise, great selection of appetizers, and excellent food choices for main course. I was coming to get Ribeye steak but that item has been removed from menu as people not so smart* compl...

However, I found the posted hours at the entrance to be a bit confusing. I visited on a Thursday afternoon, and while it wasn't very busy, the staff was incredibly helpful, especially since I had a toddler with me. As for the menu, there’s a wonderful selection of appetizers and outstanding main course options. I had my heart set on the Ribeye steak, but it seems it has been taken off the menu due to some complaints about its fattiness. Just a quick reminder: Ribeye is supposed to be fatty! Instead, I opted for the NY Strip, which was excellent, but I still wish they would bring back the Ribeye. One standout feature of this restaurant is its impressive selection of hot teas, a rarity in the...

Although the restaurant is now called Stella's Table and serves Italian cuisine, my wife and I visited last Saturday and enjoyed dinner in the dining room. The setup was Covid-friendly, with partitions between tables. Our server, Joe, was exceptional and very attentive. The food was absolutely outstanding. The bruschetta was nothing short of incredible; even if you visit just for that, you won’t be disappointed. My wife had one of the best chicken Marsalas we’ve ever had (yes, I tried it too), while I opted for the Pasta Bolognese, which was fabulous. We treated ourselves to a bottle of Cambria Chardonnay and finished the evening with a delightful Spanish coffee. The owner also stopped by fo... Reserva una mesa ahora

Great food, unfortunately we always leave hungry. Portion sizes of entrees are extremely small. They do not come with salad or soup, and for the price, you should not leave feeling like you only had an appetizer. We have been customers since they opened, and love to support small local restaurants but, feeling lately like we have been getting less than what we pay for, which is unfortunate.

We've been coming to The Root for a while now and we ALWAYS request Katie S! We love the food and service Katie is excellent timely, personable, and hilarious! I had prime rib on Friday and Tiramisu to follow. Was absolutely perfect. No restaurant in the Lakeland area tops The Root. They are the best in this area! A+ Food, Service, Atmosphere. All around just great.

The service and attentiveness was also spot on. This was our third year coming in for Valentines Day and it never disappoints. We are to make it a point to come in to treat ourselves more often!

The atmosphere is pleasant and the food is delicious. I do miss the original pastry chef, but the dinner menu is outstanding.
