| - Root 174 occupies the space in which Legume resided, so it has big shoes to fill. The interior has a slightly different layout, but there are still indoor and outdoor seating options. The service is good. Our waiter was friendly, knowledgeable, and was only around when we wanted him to be.
The menu is creative. In addition to surf and turf, there are many options that will intrigue adventurous vegetarians and vegans. As good as the options seemed, unfortunately neither I nor my dinner companion were very impressed by the food that we ordered. The scallops and veggies that accompanied them were great. In contrast, our steaks, sides, cheese plate, and dessert were adequate, but not as outstanding as one would expect for dropping ~$45 per person on dinner. The steak was cooked to the right degree but seemed not as flavorful as it looked like it should be. The dessert was basically a sponge cake with some icing on top, and the cheeses were kind of bland.
I would recommend trying Root 174, especially if you have a vegetarian or vegan in your dinner party, but temper your expectations.
