    We had the most amazing waiter that talked wine with us & made us feel at home. We will definitely be back!

    The wine selection is out of this world and to even have a choice of cocktails is amazing in certain places in Portugal. But, the star of the show was the shrimp appetizer. It is a must have.

    Excellent food served in a vibrant and pleasant restaurant. Service was attentive and the specials of the day were amazing. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal as a family of three on the August public holiday. Great location and plenty of parking available.

    We chose this restaurant based on the positive reviews we read, and it did not disappoint. The warm welcome we received set a wonderful tone for the evening. The staff, including both servers and chefs, were incredibly attentive, especially towards our children, which made the experience even more enjoyable for our family. The food was absolutely fantastic! Overall, our experience was memorable, and we will definitely be returning in the future. Highly recommended for families looking for a great dining experience!

    Very nice ambience with nice wait staff. The food came on time and was fresh. However it was somewhat plain. I had rice and asparagus as part of my dish and the asparagus was a few teeny tiny pieces mixed into very plain risotto rice. This is a more traditional Portuguese restaurant and they tend to use very little seasoning or sauce.

    Ines was our server for our anniversary dinner. It was our first time in Portugal so we relied on his suggestions. He explained what the best items were on the menu and gave us the final choice. We had the duck with pomegranate sauce (delicious!), and Beef Wellington (we had just toured the museum and one of the Wellington forts, so it seemed appropriate). Everything was fabulous. We had the goat cheese salad split between us for a starter and it was perfect. Paired with a glass of champagne, it was a hit. We ended with the bean cake (now we see how it is award winning), with lime sorbet. Finished the meal with a healthy pour of Port. Total was just over $70 Euros. We highly recommend "the Root" for a nice dinner. Before 7 P.M., the bar is open for beer, wine and a snack.

    Great find. Quality food at very affordable price. Will definitely go there when in the area. Portugal can do with more contemporary restaurants with innovative food styles as Roots,

    Friendly staff, great ambience, but too pricy for the food they serve. We had one of the vegan meals and the chef's suggestions and were unimpressed by both. Nice wine list.

    Nice and stylish restaurant situated in a park with easy parking just next to it. Very friendly staff that is proud of their tasty dishes. Tatar was even prepared at the table and their award winning desert is definitely worth the recommendation

    Pleasant atmosphere, excellent service, delicious food and a great choice of tasty wines. The only things that we didn’t expect is to have chili in a steak tartar (I think it’s important to mention that in the the menu as it’s an unusual ingredient and some people are allergic to it), which I was really looking forward to. At the end, we swapped our meals with each other and had a very lovely dinner experience. Thank you!

    The food was very interesting, diverse and well done. We had a really good experience, since the place is beautiful (next to a park), the waiters were really nice and the meal was delicious. I absolutely recommend the restaurant!

    Great location. Very nice interior. Really good vibe. The actual food was slightly disappointing compare to the whole set up. Having said that I would go back to try other dishes. the people – especially the waiters in the restaurant – were very accommodating and very helpful

    The decoration is cozy and nice. The service was friendly, but slow, so if you are in a hurry make sure you will tell them when you arrive. We were not, so that was not really an issue. The food was good, although not excellent: very good bread and olive oil, the steak with serra cheese was a bit disappointing since the cheese was not melted over the steak as I expected and the “esparregado” was a bit cold; the grilled rabbit was OK, although not very soft; the chocolate cake for the dessert was VERY good! In the end I had a good time at a nice place!
