This is a restaurant you'd expect to find in a much larger city than Morganton, NC. The restaurant is decorated in a contemporary style with large modern artworks displayed prominently. My husband and I have eaten at Root and Vine twice, and each time, the food was prepared artfully and deliciously. The service was great, with cheerful, professional servers. We... More

Delicious food and prompt service! A modern take on classic flavors. A comprehensive wine and beer selection pairs perfectly with a creative menu.

When you're paying this much for food, you expect to be able to eat it but several times I have had plates that I just could not eat. One time there is enough salt in the food to kill a small horse, and the next... More

This is by far my favorite restaurant in the area. The service is very personal with the staff having been there for years. The owner/chef is meticulous in his choice of ingredients and goes to great length to use locally grown produce. The are very knowledgeable about wine and will gladly offer you samples of their selection. I think the... More
