  • “Such a nice surprise. This place was a block away from our lodging for the night so we stopped in for dinner. Right away we loved the atmosphere. Live singer, cozy fireplace, great decor. The service was unusual. At first we were confused about who was our server. The longer we stayed the more we realized they all were our servers. Each and every person working was taking orders, checking on tables, serving drinks, clearing dishes. It was the best run restaurant I’ve seen. Props to the owner/manager for creating that wonderfully efficient and helpful environment and staff. The food was wonderful, wine sublime and the dessert just right. Thank you for a wonderful evening..”

  • “We recently had a family event with 16 people at Grass Rootes. The owner, Kelly, was terrific to work with! She was very helpful in accomodating several food preferences and allergies that people had and the food was great.The event was held in the private room downstairs. The environment was perfect! It's a historic setting with amazing architectual features and a fire going in the fireplace. The waitstaff were very attentive and super friendly. Our family would have a good time anywhere, but having it at Grass Rootes made the event special and memorable. Thanks Kelly!.”
