8/10Very 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.

10/10Ines 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.

8/10Great 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,

6.5/10Friendly 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.

9.5/10Nice 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

9/10Pleasant 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!

7/10The ambience and the service is great, however the food was very disappointing. The flavor was not great and the presentation was too basic, it's neither traditional either modern. The menu in fact looks great with a good selection of meat, fish and sides. The staff was very helpful offering great suggestions as well.

10/10The Fork app took us to the local Police Station and the restaurant was not immediately noticed. We circled around and finally entered the name into Google Maps. We had to double back more than a mile to get into the unusual parking lot. It was worth it. When seated we were given the appetizers expected (olives, bread and several toppings (pate and herb butter)) totaling about 8 euros. What we did not order and did not expect was a black ham plate that was set in front of us. I chose the restaurant based in part on a good selection of vegetarian menu items along with a selection of meat dishes including beef Wellington (which was cooked to perfection). The wine selected paired well. The salads were delicate and filling. Upon paying, we found the cured ham was an additional 11 euros, a small but inconvenient price for an unexpected and unwanted plate. Roots has many appitizers on its menu and should allow customers to choose what additional items are desired. Otherwise it was a lovely meal.

10/10The 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!

7.5/10Great 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

8.5/10The 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!
