Overall, it wasn’t bad. However, for a Michelin-starred establishment, I was expecting a bit more. A few key aspects kept me from rating it higher. The interior feels rather middle-of-the-road, and could do with a bit of a refresh. The service didn’t stand out from what you’d find in any other mid-range restaurant. By way of comparison, there’s a place a few doors down called The Forks and Corks, which offers a considerably better experience across food, service, and atmosphere. As for Root 81, I ordered a crème brûlée for dessert but was instead served something more akin to a rice Christmas pudding.
