★★★★★ 5.0 Reema Mulchandani · Mar 2026

Roots in Rutland really stood out. We started with the eggplant chips, which were perfectly crisp and packed with flavor. For mains, we had the ravioli and tofu, both were incredibly hearty and fresh, with a thoughtful balance of textures and flavors that made each bite satisfying. The non-alcoholic berry sangria was refreshing and well balanced, and the chocolate mousse was a great finish, rich, smooth, and just indulgent enough. A special shoutout to Christian for exceptional service. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, he elevated the whole experience. This place is clearly in demand, so reservations are a must. A fantastic spot in Rutland that we’d happily return to.

Great food, well cooked healthy and full of flavor. Staff is very friendly and the kitchen is able to accommodate gluten free needs. We loved it so much we came back the next night. Nice dessert selection. My fiancé had the carrot cake and loved it!!

If you're looking for a hidden gem in Rutland this is for you. So glad we stopped. Tucked away off the street behind the Paramount. Clean dining room, well spaced tables, awesome calming decor. Nice clean spacious bathroom. Started with the Fried Brussel Sprouts which had a sweet chili glaze & ancho spiced maple aioli. Sooooo good! Next I had the Bistro Steak Frites which is a Maple-Whisky marinated pub steak, grilled, served over diced Idaho potatos with a light honey-horseradish sauce. I got it medium rare, it was cooked perfectly but I suggest rare. Wife had the Scallop Salad which is pan seared scallops, spinach, bacon, onion, tomato, mushrooms & bleu cheese. She wished there was half the blue cheese, but I ate the blue cheese and she loved the rest. Kid had the Turkey Flatbread

Tre was phenomenal! Brussel sprouts as an app, ribeye and duck as entrees and the carrot cake and cheesecake to finish us off! I got a N.A. drink; the blueberry and lemon spritzer. Everything cooked to perfection with a nice vibe to boot! Thanks for the great meal!
