We went to one of their limited dinner services. I had called the day before and reserved a table. When we were quickly seated at a table by the entrance, I admit being suspect of how our visit would go. The hostess asked if the table was alright and pointed out a heater by the table. Not only did it keep us warm, it made our table feel cozy. Despite it being very busy, I'd describe the restaurant as being a great place for a special date. Our waiter for the evening brought great energy. His timing was great and his knowledge of the food served was helpful. Without hesitation he suggested the Napolitana (which was phenomenal). He also made the restaurant less pretentious than I had assumed it would be and it definitely wasn't pretentious). We ordered the empanadas and beet salad as appetizers. Great picks and I'd return just to get the empanadas! As previously stated, I had the Napolitana. My dining partner has the quinoa bowl but added chicken to it. No complaints for either. We finished with two desserts suggested by our waiter. Although truly full from our meal, we polished off the tasty treats. I'm going back, just disappointed I've haven't visited it before now.

I absolutely loved it and it became one of my top 3 favorite brunch places in Wisconsin. I happened to be back in town for work, and of course, I had to come back. Of course, it's still just as great. I've since come back 3 mornings in a row while I was in town as I don't even want to try anything else in the area. Their ingredients are fresh and local, and their service is great. Everyone is really nice and on top of it. The only complaint I have is that their brewed coffee isn't good and really shouldn't be the case. It was burnt and even smelled like it. Could barely drink it. I'd love to see them up their coffee game. However, I didn't mind because I love their brunch that much. Just be sure to make reservations on the weekends as they book up pretty quick ahead of time.

It's in downtown Menasha (close to Appleton) and we tried to hit a few shops nearby afterward but most of them seemed to be closed. Our server was beyond friendly and checked in on us very frequently. I ordered the elk burger which comes with apple butter, Gruyère cheese and caramelized onions as well as thick-yet-crispy steak fries and a smoked tomato aioli. My cousin ordered the same, but with maple aioli--and wow! I'm definitely going to have to try to make maple aioli at home. I appreciated the creativity yet approachability of the dishes. Rusted Root is the perfect type of spot to go when you want a good burger or sandwich that's more inventive than the average casual spot.

The restaurant is comfortable with spacious booths and tables spread nicely through several dining areas. The service has always been solid and the food has been tasty and reasonably priced. Today, I had breakfast with a friend. We were seated promptly and received our coffees (and a carafe) shortly after. The menu isn't as huge as some breakfast places but offers something for everyone. You can also get lunch starting at 10 AM. I've had their breakfast buffet (check for hours), their cinnamon rolls and several breakfast items. They have always been appropriately prepared. Today, I had their eggs Benedict. The hashbrowns accompanying the meal were fantastic. The flavor was good; however, my eggs were harder than requested. My friend had the kielbasa/sausage, which looked good too. Our server was attentive and helpful. If you are in the area, this is a tried and true restaurant!
