Fodor's Expert Review Rustic Root
$$$
Gaslamp Quarter
American
Comfort food gets a modern twist at this two-story restaurant, which serves a meat- and seafood-centric lineup downstairs and a slightly different menu on the rooftop that includes ahi poke tacos and fried chicken sliders. The rooftop is the real draw, thanks to whimsical details like rose gold mid-century chairs and animal topiaries. Libations focus on classics like the 1888, a twist on a Ramos gin fizz, as well as craft cocktail shots for pint-size enjoyment. Expect a vibrant crowd during their weekend brunch, which includes live music in the downstairs space.
