10 minutes until we ordered drinks. The waitress also got our chai tea latte order wrong (brought us plain lattes). After letting her know, she came back in 30 seconds (the only fast thing she did) with the same lattes with some chai flavoring (this isn't how a chai tea latte is made --- has no coffee in it). We weren't gonna send it back twice. We got our starter pastry 20 minutes later, which we dug into. Long after we finished (and we didn't inhale these), the waitress came back and offered us small plates for now finished pastry (oops). I also noticed parties who sat after than us get their entree orders --- always irks me. I would try to make eye contact with our waitress (who was never around), and finally at 120 she caught my "where's our foooooooood" look. She walked up to the kitchen, asked about our orders, and it took another 10 minutes until we got our food. Root down's food is excellent and freshly prepared. Not sure it's necessary to wait well over an hour
after being seated to get it. My sister and I decided to have our birthday brunch here. Originally supposed to be a party of 14 but people ended bringing others that we didnt expect. The staff was very helpful adding more tables to accommodate the extra guests. Our server Gary was handled the whole table and got all of our orders in correctly and was great about keeping our drinks filled. When it came time to pay the management handled all the spliting of checks smoothly. I thought the food was good but I wouldnt say it was anything to rave about. I think it was the staff who really made it a great experience and a wonderful birthday for my sister and I. What we got: 1/2 order of banana bread french toast - came with a small side of fruit. The fruit was dressed in a minty, slightly salty, sour dressing-- which I didn't care for. The banana bread french toast reminded me of stuff I'd get at the Texas State Fair-- basically it was dipped in batter & fried. Texture & taste were pretty
good. Breakfast burrito- came with potatoes that were tasty & a mole sauce that was really good. The burrito itself was just OK- I've had better in Texas. But the mole sauce was pretty delicious! Also came with a side of greens that was undressed-- which was strange to me. Hubby didn't really touch the greens. Fried chicken & goat cheese biscuits-- came with a kale salad with ranch- decent. The biscuits by far were the best thing we ordered!!! Both hubby and I devoured it. They were like little fluff clouds with the perfect crispy exterior. The goat cheese was noticeable but not strong enough to repel me (I'm not a HUGE fan of goat cheese). They were really perfect. The fried chicken was done alright- basically fried chicken thighs; some parts were soggy due to it touching the sauce. Still finished it all. I've never had a bad meal at Root Down. When people are looking for a home run restaurant for something special I don't hesitate. The food is insanely creative and done to perfect
ion. The bar has a great cocktail list and the talent to mix up custom drinks with just a little direction in terms of spirits and flavors (e.g., citrus, botanical, spicy, etc.). What impresses me every
