Rood

This review is for the brunch:We ordered the chicken and waffles and jammy eggs.I was pleasantly surprised by the unique take on jammy eggs, with the cold egg whites. It was very unique and I would definitely recommend it.The chicken and waffles I thought tasted standard. Though the portion was very large. I think the way the chicken was presented lent the breading towards sogginess but the chicken itself was quite juicy. Overall 4/5, worth checking out

I'm a vegetarian and I would say their menu did not have much when it comes to vegetarian options. It was fine as I looked that up in advance and prepared appropriately to just enjoy a small plate with my friend and a slice of pie.My friend enjoyed her meal and I enjoyed my coffee and pie.The ambiance is really great for a conversation and it's a nice vibe in there.I'd definitely return to just enjoy coffee, pie, and a conversation. I liked it!

The decor is great, service great too.Pity that there's no outdoor seating.On the day we went, the food was rather salty.I score it a 3.5. I'm from the east Coast, and while this restaurant wouldn't necessarily stand out in NY or Boston, it's pretty okay for Cleveland.

We had come in after eating dinner elsewhere and were just stopping in to try their pies.Lots of people dining in! Mostly a lot of friend groups. We didn't have to wait for a table either.We shared 3 pies: salt and honey, dark chocolate with raspberry whip, and a special for the season that had espresso in it. They were all delicious and not overly sweet. I was impressed! I'm not a huge pie person.I'd come back for more pie and to try their food from the menu!**We ended up coming back here the following day to pick up a pie for a friend. The restaurant wasn't open yet but you can ring the doorbell for pick up. We were able to take in the beautiful decor and ambiance a bit better since it was empty and quiet.

The short version: OMG eat here.The long version: I ended up here, luckily, after getting forgotten about at another restaurant, so I showed up a little exhausted and a lot hungry. Thankfully, the host was friendly, and the server quickly stopped by to take my drink order. I got a delicious -- and gorgeous -- Butterfly Effect.I am a sucker for rolls, and I have no regrets getting two to start with, especially as the butter and the jam (the jam!) were wonderful, too. The rolls were hearty, the butter great, and the jam absolutely heavenly. (I think I'd eat it with a spoon.)And I'm so glad I went with the Chinese Cauliflower entree. The dish was amazing with a perfect balance of flavors along with being surprisingly filling. The seasoning was on point, the quinoa was done perfectly, and the tomato jam added a yummy tang.As I was wrapping up, a patron on her way out stopped by and said, "You have to get the peanut butter pie." She seemed confident, and my server agreed when she stopped back by, so I went with it. Well, they were right. The pie was surprisingly light in texture -- although I was FULL by the end -- and so delicious. It was the best PB pie I've ever had, and I've tried quite a few as a peanut butter lover.Overall, the food was so good I ended up getting another dessert to go.The atmosphere is also super fun, not very formal but cozy and eclectic.I cannot wait to visit Rood again!

Rood is one of my fav spots! super cute inside with a retro theme. The cocktails are delicious and there's something for everyone, including dessert cocktails. The food menu is vegetarian friendly. They rotate both the drink menu and food menu seasonally! My absolute favorite part though is the pies! The flavors are so creative and the pie is so creamy and delicious with perfect crust. The slices are heavy/filling so definitely recommend sharing. Also be sure to make a reservation, they fill up quickly. It is a bit pricey for some of the dinner menu items. They just added a happy hour so will definitely be back

Showed up in time to enjoy happy hour and it was DELICIOUS! We ordered lamb meatballs, koi hoisin pork belly, and mussels with togarashi puree. The meatballs were tender, moist, cheesy, and flavorful (ngl gave luxury ikea meatballs and I wasn't mad about it). The pork belly was a mouthful of flavor and texture, with crisp skin, and beautiful celeriac puree combined with the crunchy pickle/kimchi radish. The mussels made fun to play with tiny forks, grilled sourdough bread, rich and perfectly cooked but definitely not enough bread for scooping up a sauce so good. Unfortunately unimpressed by the marg, but the Elder Collins made up for it. We continued with the epic eats and had the charred octopus and duck bucatini. I'm a sucker for anywhere that serves octopus in a single tentacle over pieces and this one lived up to it. Cooked to perfection with complimentary flavors and textures combining bites of octopus, crispy potatoes, and salsa verde was incredible. The duck bucatini featured housemade ground duck sausage and bucatini from the local Flour Pasta Co. Incredible flavors, creamy but not heavy, somehow light and a bit citrusy, fresh yet rich with the duck. We ran out of room before getting to the pie (which is apparently one of their showstoppers) but we are looking forward to returning sooner than I think. The ambiance was fun, beware it gets surprisingly dark once the sun is down for the day. My only complaint was the marg (feels to easy to get wrong) and we did get asked by the server a bit excessively how it was going. Neither of which will skew my rating or next visit. Can't wait to give the rest of the menu a shot.

Came for the pie and some cocktails! We didn't have a reservation late on a Friday night, we waited for a little and were able to be seated. The drinks were good, but the pie is what really shone! Everyone at my table tried different flavors and they were all amazing! I loved the peanut butter. Definitely want to come back here!

I have celiac disease, (gluten free) they have so many choices, from appetizers, entrees and even their famous pies. All the dishes delicious. The servers are knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. It's one of my partner's favorite restaurants. We are bringing friends next week as we want to support our local restaurants.

Absolutely amazing, from the food to the drinks to the ambience. It was a great date spot, if you go you have to get the pie!
