Rootstock Wine & Beer Bar

“Casual neighborhood restaurant with a regularly changing menu. The pasta is always on point and the burger (a mainstay on the menu) is one of the best in the city. My go-to order is fries, oysters or large shrimp, the Werp Farm salad, whatever pasta or fish they’re serving. I don’t drink, but they’re known for their encyclopedic wine list!! It’s one of my favorite restaurants in the city—so much so that I moved a few blocks away. They don’t take reservations, so saunter up around 5 or 5:30 after they open. They have a lovely little patio in the front as well!”
