Root & Branch Bistro + Bar

Truth be told I've lived in Clermont for many years and although I've heard of the Root & Branch I have not made my way to pay a visit and I'm sorry I waited so long. Had the pleasure of dining in on a quiet Sunday evening and was impressed with the decore immediately walking in. We were quickly greeted, sat, and ordered drinks and apps.Just a great experience overall. Food is flavorful. I now understand why the Fried Green Tomatoes are award winning- the app was phenomenal.Another hidden gem in our lovely town. I'll be back!!

I like the place very much, it has ambiance..we both had the same dish, seafood pasta, it was delicious..Actually we both had diarrhea from the seafood pasta..the shrimp and the scallops smelled fishy..I HAD IT FIRST FOR TWO DAYS AND MY SISTER HAS IT TODAY AS SHE ATE THE REST OF THE PASTA YESTERDAY.The onion soup was a bit too watery but it was okay..I would go again except I will not order the seafood pasta.

I've enjoyed dinner at Root & Branch Bistro many times, so I decided to try their Sunday Brunch. Although the brunch menu had plenty of tempting options, I couldn't resist ordering my usual--Ode To Wilbur. This thick bone-in pork chop, served with collard greens and creamed corn, was just as flavorful, tender, and juicy as ever. The greens were perfectly sweet and savory with a touch of heat, and the creamed corn was an excellent side.Even though I planned on a more traditional breakfast, I'm glad I stuck with the pork chop. If you're looking for fresh, scratch-made food, I highly recommend checking out this local favorite.

Fantastic restaurant. Top notch chef. Started off with the Fashion Nut, a deliciously doctored Old Fashioned. Wife had the Spa Cocktail. Next, on to the Fried Brussels Sprouts, and Fried Green Tomatoes for appetizers. (whoa! recommend). I enjoyed the Ode to Wilber, a tender tasty thick cut pork chop. My wife loved the rib eye; a 3 course meal with the Bread Pudding. We have never had a bad meal here; lunch or dinner. Food is always fresh and cooked to your liking.The staff here are wonderful. Sara was our server. She was fun. Loved how relaxed she was with us and she had a nice banter with our group during the evening.We had early reservations so it wasn't busy early on a Saturday. I recommend reservations as it can get real busy at times.We will return. Again and again.

Service was excellent, had a little hiccup with the printer and our food was delayed but very attentive and very nice. The fried green tomatoes are out of this world good! I had the wagyu beef sandwich with peppers and onions, unbelievably good and cook to perfection. Everything was clean, music was at a tolerable level. For our first time visiting it was near perfect

Root and branch bistro and bar is located in a shopping plaza type set up near gators dockside, and across the street from Home Depot off of SR 50. We made a reservation, but when we arrived, it was clear that we did not need to as there was ample seating. The atmosphere was definitely not what we were anticipating as it felt more like a bar set up that was converted into a restaurant. While they had linens on the table, the linens were incredibly wrinkled and not pressed which was a bit of a shock to us given some of the entree pricing. My husband got the Ode to Wilber pork chop. He did not like the creamed corn at all and did let the server know and the server did offer to bring him a secondary side, but he declined. The greens were OK. They had a little heat on the back end of it. The pork chop he really enjoyed and said it had a perfect cook on it. ($36)I opted for the barbecue glaze salmon. I love that the salmon had a nice crispy bottom and some crisp on the top. I do wish there would've been more of the barbecue gains as it was delicious on the pieces of the salmon that had it. The broccoli rabe was good and I enjoyed the purée that was underneath it although I'm not sure what it was. ($27)Overall, it's a casual dining location with decent food.

We came here for my husband's birthday. Although the food had great flavor, portions were amazing and presentation was excellent. The wait between entrées was too long this is my reason for three stars. We came on a weekday evening and it was fairly slow with a nice ambience and feel to the restaurant. Our server was helpful and assured us that the food entrées courses would be out shortly. I would believe to say we had to wait at least 25 to 30 minutes between each entrée served. We had the three course dinner which made our visit here a little over two hours.The menu options are great, and the three core special was an amazing value which led us to visit here. It was a nice break from chain restaurants, and was happy we made our celebration visit here.

Had a fabulous dinner there a couple weeks ago. They were very accommodating of dietary restrictions- for example, I asked for my burger to be swapped with grilled chicken and they gave me a super delicious, ultra seasoned chicken breast. Also- their bread pudding is to die for!

It had been awhile since I had been in. We had a few not so great experiences over a year ago. So we just stopped going in. I went in alone and sat at the bar because I was getting new tires next door. Jamie, my bartender, and Riley, a server that took the time to really tell me about the dishes, were awesome. They were personable and really make me feel like I wasn't dining alone. The food was so good. I got a lot because I wanted to try as much as I could. Nothing disappointed at all and I had yummy leftovers. I was told they are doing a menu update but I hope they keep the tuna tartare! I am so glad I gave them another try! Definitely will be back but this time bringing the hubby!

What a great place! The cook David Henry is the best. The food was absolutely delicious!! Very nice waiter. Ambiance is fabulous. Recommend this place to everyone
