Formerly operating as Feast, Root is located at 200 Julia Street which is the corner of Fulton. Same block as La Boca, Rio Mar, and Rock & Sake. As a side note, Feast was the worst restaurant i have ever experienced in New Orleans.
This classy spot is trendy. There is new link to New Orleans in Root's menu or design. Some would call it modern. The layout remained the same post-feast which is probably because of the unique landlord situation crossing over with a historic space.
Pictured above is the M é n a g e à F o i e which was totally unique. Great use of pop rocks inside the cotton candy stick.
My O v e n R o a s t e d Y a r d B i r d Wild Mushrooms, Celeriac, Fingerling Potatoes, “Pan Jus” was outstanding!
Pictured above was compliments of the chef. I believe it was bass. Very tasty!
I can't wait to go back to check out C o h i b a S m o k e d S c a l l o p s Chorizo Dust, Caramelized Cauliflower, Fennel Choucrout which is served in a Cohiba cigar box.
There is a definite WOW factor at Root and you most definitely pay for it. Beware, Root is not cheap or good value. Next time, you want a good date spot that is not your typical New Orleans food, Root is your spot!
