Root

Root offers contemporary American cuisine with a coastal influence in a downtown Georgetown setting, with some seating overlooking the water. The kitchen focuses on thoughtfully prepared dishes such as shrimp and grits, Parmesan-crusted seafood over creamy grits, and braised meats. Starters like crispy Brussels sprouts or grilled peach crostini highlight fresh ingredients and balanced flavors, while attentive staff provide knowledgeable guidance throughout the meal.
