I haven't been. Root gets mixed reviews here. You might check the dining guide to see if there are any reviews.

I would definitely get some of the charcuterie items

Most of the criticism here is that the entrees themselves aren't great

I haven't tried enough of them to know

It's a legit place but different. If you go get the cohiba smoked scallops, it really enjoyed them when I went.

You mean the place on the same block as La Bocas, Rock N Sakes, and Rio Mars?

I haven't tried 'em yet, but like others here, I've heard mixed reviews. I suppose I need to give them a try

I really like the place. The compressed watermelon salad and "Yorkie" dessert are both legit.

I've been for lunch not dinner. I had the veal pastrami sandwich which wasn't that good. the charcuterie was pretty tasty. i heard dinner is good. Barcadia ftw

been half a dozen times over the past year. it keeps getting progressively better in both quality of service and the creativity and execution of the food. It is certainly worth at least giving a shot. and dont' play it safe if you eat there .. get the more exotic menu items. no use going to place like that and ordering standard dishes you find elsewhere. if the have the lamb heart.. get it!
