"Rootstock is a casual wine bar where the food is as much of a draw as the wine. They have delicious seasonal dishes like bay scallops with green lentil remoulade or an asparagus and taleggio tart, but their burger (a permanent fixture of the menu) is also great. The inside is welcoming and relaxed, while the mismatched chairs and modest streetside patio make you feel like you’re eating at an artist’s loft instead of a sit-down restaurant. If you’re not coming for a full meal, split one of their rotating charcuterie and cheese boards." - josh barnett, john ringor
