    Roasted Asparagus

    Went here for dinner on my birthday! We were seated right away for our reservation, and almost immediately had someone come over to serve us water and their house bread. Our waiter Jake came over and got our drink orders in quickly, as well as our food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a busy Friday night, so it was pretty lively but I liked where our table was because we could still hear each other.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was excellent and came out pretty quickly. A great dinner that is a bit on the pricier side but I think it was worth it!

    I've come back two more times now and ordered the cowboy steak twice with their butter. Delicious, cooked perfectly, and they immediately fixed an allergen snafu and it was like it didn't even happen. Can't wait to go here for another one.

    Who says you always have to wait until after 5 p.m. to enjoy a steakhouse? Sometimes you have to feed your soul at lunch instead, and that's exactly what I did here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I grabbed a table outside, soaked in the sunshine, and people-watched while enjoying the atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Most of the full menu is available during lunch, but since I'm trying to stick to my summer version of a diet, I went lighter. The lobster cocktail was the move. Presentation? Five stars. Taste? Exactly what I needed--fresh, flavorful, and just enough to hit the spot without feeling heavy. Roots proved you can enjoy the steakhouse experience any time of day. I eat. I judge. The fork stops with me.

    Went on a Saturday at 7:30pm and it was packed and very lively. Definitely a nicer place, don't wear sweats! They start off by bringing you a dinner roll (Yorkshire pudding inspired, I think?) which to be honest wasn't my favorite. The French onion soup was solid. But the steak was the highlight of the meal - especially with the truffle butter (ordered it on the side and could see them shaving truffles directly into it right before it hit the table). It was expensive but so worth it. The au poivre was also very good. After dinner, we got the butter cake and had a cappuccino and espresso martini (can be made with or without Bailey's and was quite good). Would recommend and will be going back.

    The service is great and the food is decent. Nothing spectacular or over the top. The prices are reasonable as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a very loud restaurant but great location.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Fresh and delicious and large shrimp cocktail.

    What a fun time we had at Roots Steakhouse tonight. Jake was our server extraordinaire and really helped make our holiday dinner celebration a special one. At 7pm on a Sunday, the restaurant was buzzing and very busy, as there were lots of holiday and birthday celebrations going on. Noise level was a bit high, but not too bad. Jake was very attentive and provided great recommendations throughout our meal. From the start, my husband loves ice tea and Roots has this great tea brewing system. What a treat for my husband that doesn't drink coffee. The popover was delicious and a nice touch to start of the meal. The lobster bisque i had was just OK... but my husband loved his onion soup. Shrimp cocktail and caesar salads were on point and don't sleep on the butter cake dessert. Yum! After dinner Curtis, the manager came over to say hello and check up on us. He was super friendly and warm and made us feel welcome. I'm not sure what the 3.5 reviews are doing here on Yelp, but this is definitely not a 3.5 restaurant. Enjoy the holidays and your special occasions at Roots Steakhouse, you won't be disappointed. It may cost a little bit more, but you're worth it. And Jake, thanks for helping make our holiday dinner a special one. We hope to see you again soon!

    Came for birthday celebration, a tradition for the family. I got the chicken parm, amazing. Need to mention the popover that came first for everyone, that is SO delicious and devoured in seconds. Had fried calamari and raw oysters, amazing. Steaks tasted delicious. Dessert was on the house, selected the gigantic sundae with many toppings. Everyone enjoyed dinner, especially the kids. Servers were extremely nice and polite. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Spacious with dim lighting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]unfortunately, it is loud in the restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Met a friend at Roots in Morristown about a month ago, my first time there and it was everything I'd heard it would be. Started at the bar with a beer and he had a 12 year Glenlivet. About $30 for both with tip, typical for higher end drinks in a high end eatery. We proceeded to the table, and were greeted by a highly refined and pro waiter. This wasn't his first day on the job, not even his first decade by all indications. He was the perfect blend of attentive without being needlessly in our face. If you go out enough, you know exactly what I mean. we perused the extensive wine list (noting I believe it's #117 that is over $5,600!!) and settled into a nice $120 bottle of Cab that would compliment our beef choices. Served quickly, uncorked, cork presented for sniff test along with a well churned swill....and he proceeded to continue pouring once approved. Our ceaser salads came out quickly and were just amazing. They don't fresh prepare the dressing at your table like some high end joints, but it was fantastic either way. I don't need to see it, just let me taste it! My friend ordered the NY strip and I followed suit, it was perfect for the evening and I'd actually had a large ribeye earlier in the week at another area restaurant, so this seemed appropriate despite the fact it's not my typical go to. It was flawless, and a perfect size and done to exact temperature as ordered. We also ordered the potatoes au gratin, creamy spinach, and onion rings as sharable sides. I have to say they were simply the best rings I've ever had - completely and perfectly crisped, with no greasy texture at all and accompanied with addictingly delicious dipping sauce. I'm not always a spinach guy, but that was just fantastic and I couldn't really get enough of it. Potatoes were spot on. I'm including photos of all except salad, just forgot to capture that round in pictures. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I highly recommend this establishment for anyone that wants a refined dining experience without pomp and circumstance. Neither of us wore a jacket, and many others were in jeans so there may be no dress code but the meal you eat will feel like there is one[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. My friend picked up the bill, and I offered to pay tip. Given the amount he recommended, I can back into the general range of our total tab and it was on point with Ruths Chris, Capital Grill, other similar steakhouses.

    Worst customer experience ever at a mid level steak house. Had to ask all 3 times for a Grey Goose martini. I said no to bleu cheese stuffed olives and got them served. Martini was nothing special; it lacked alcohol and was pricey. Had to ask for bread take away; days ols popovers. The 16 oz ny strip was ordered med rare. Cooked med well. Also cooked extra crispy. The sides; whipped taters, cream spinach (meh) and cream corn were good. I was ignored the entire time at bar. I will never be back to any Harvest establishments. They must treat their staff awful. 0 out of 5 stars. I tipped $25 on a bar tab of $257. Terrible.

    Cowboy dry aged steak cooked to perfection
    Scott S.

    Our first time at The Morristown Roots. Parking was a drag but once seated that annoyance melted away. Service was impeccable. We started with oysters (East Coast), shrimp cocktail (colossal), Caesar a d wedge salads. All delish. Drinks were excellent. The cider old fashioned was delicious. Everyone got steak naturally. I had the 20 oz dry aged cowboy steak which was wonderful. Everyone else ordered NY Strip, Prime Cowboy and filet mingon. For sides we got brussel sprouts, cream spinach, pommes frites, and whipped potatoes. All super satisfying. Much bigger than the Summit Roots and more lively. I'd come back here again for sure.

    The best dinner you could ask for.

    Espresso martini
    Samantha S.

    Such a great experience. They definitely have an element of class going on. Some small things that stick out: they use a metal item to clean up the crumbs off of your table to keep everything clean, they fold your napkin if you leave the table, and they keep refilling your water even after you pay your bill so you don't feel rushed. The popover was EXCELLENT. I simply love a good popover. My espresso martini was lovely. And finally, my filet mignon was flavorful and cooked perfectly. The side of potatoes au gratin was delicious- it was not over or undercooked and the cheese they use is so tasty. My husband also enjoyed his meal. We had such a great anniversary dinner.

    Ribs
    Tina S.

    Tina's take: 10/10 Brought my boyfriend here for his birthday and the service and food was amazing. The staff all wrote a happy birthday card and were all wishing him the best. The waiter was very knowledgeable and helped us with our starter choices. The ribs were amazing! Our main dishes were superb and I could not have asked for a better night. The drinks were great as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is a darker cozier feel in the restaurant but everything was clean including the bathrooms.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The desert was great at the end especially when we were able to sing. I would recommend this for any special occasion.

    I love Beenie's ice cream! I have been visiting the ice cream shop for several years now…read more Beenie's is located near the Deloitte office building in downtown Morristown. Parking is tricky but there is a paid public lot across the street. Inside, there is a cute little seating area with picnic benches and some Adirondack chairs. Near the seating, there is a water cooler and plastic cups. Being located in the heart of Morristown, the prices are a bit on the higher side, but the ice cream is 100% homemade and sourced with local, seasonal ingredients. I love seeing all of the creative flavors and there are always so many different options to choose from. In the refrigerated section, there are pints and cakes available to take to-go. Monthly/seasonal flavors are offered as well. You can even create a custom ice cream flavor for a special occasion. Service is also very friendly and happy to help, even when they are very busy. They are very involved in the local community and source ingredients from surrounding local businesses. I am part of a local running club in town and each year they collaborate on a special flavor called "Neon Swirl". I can't wait for my next trip back to Beenie's to try more amazing flavor creations. Dr. Darkness: 5/5 Lavender Honey: 4/5 Neon Swirl: 5/5

    Love Beenie's! The interior is colorful and well-lit, with a smart design to keep the line moving…read more A large and creative list of ice cream flavors await you! I went for the vanilla ice cream with cherries. It was a generous portion for a single scoop and more than enough. I assume that their ice cream is homemade, it tastes that good! Vegans - don't despair. There are numerous non-dairy options to choose from. The service was efficient and friendly. Overall, this is a very well-run and welcoming ice cream establishment owned and operated by caring small business owners. I highly recommend it!

They had an indoor dining room and an outdoor patio. We opted for the indoor dining room due to the heat wave. For breakfast, I ordered a chocolate chip crumb muffin and a pecan bar. I've never heard of a Chocolate Chip Crumb Muffin before, but it was delicious! The pecan bar was good as well. Unfortunately, I didn't order a drink because I don't like coffee and the only non-coffee drink they had was Hot Chocolate and unsweetened iced tea. Too hot for hot chocolate and I don't like unsweetened iced tea. The ladies at the counter were very nice though and gave me some tap water! Overall a great experience. Sad I just found out about this place as they prepare to close their doors in September.
