Root And Vine Market - PAONIA

Definitely the highlight of spending a weekend in Paonia. My wife has Celiac disease and their GF carrot cake was hands down the best I have ever tried even versus regular/gluten kinds I have tried.

We weren't sure what to expect and wow were we glad we stopped in! The Daisy's red blend was sumptuous and the food was delicious! I had the pork belly sandwich and it was a level above! The owner, manager, and waitperson were all wonderful.

Delicious, beautifully presented food, lovely plantings and view, perfect for a summer evening.

I wanted to love this place. The staff are wonderful and the atmosphere is gorgeous. The food and wine, however, are just bad. The spring roll is a so so, undressed salad served in four tiny piles for $15. The bison sliders are charred, unseasoned hockey pucks. The wine pours are very generous but we left more than half of our flight on the table thanks to some really overwhelming olive, green pepper, and camphor flavors in most of the offerings. If you 're ordering food, get the chicken that one dish was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the five of us picked it clean.

This place is an overpriced tourist trap with mediocre food and terrible service. I left a $10 tip at the register before our food was served and I have been irritated about it ever since. This place is constantly changing their menu, decreasing the quantity of food you get, and raising their prices. I won't eat here again and would advise the same.
