Roots Otay Restaurant

My Mom and I found this place on accident, just driving around and picking a restaurant at random after a prior appointment.

I wasn’t really in the mood for a steakhouse, but was super impressed with this place.

It has like 1920s charm, beautiful stained glass, and a large food and drink menu.

I originally ordered duck (which they were out of :( sad) so I switched to their medallions (house specialty). The red wine sauce on the meat was the star of the show. I also ordered lentil soup which was great.

My Mom ordered paella valenciana and it was super generous. Two people could eat it.

As well as great mains, they also bring you little appetizers. Serrano ham, gruyere cheese, a little steak kabob each and sesame rolls. And there’s a salad bar included with all the mains.

I would definitely come here again. Hopefully they have duck next time.

I used to be an habitual visitor for lunch on the restaurant. Food still very good, although I missed the Oporto they usually offer at arrival. Pricey but it is a good option for a quiet, nice business lunch with few people.

I am very disappointed in this place. There was a time when I would taken generations of my family here, but they have lost their identity. What made this place was the love and respect that the waiters gave this place. It's what attracted people here. You didn't feel like a number. You felt like family. Today I went, and the staff was all different. No of them had that love to serve like Eduardo, Don Jorge. For me it's like a very close family member died. Live now will never be the same. I know dramatic but I had a lot of love for this place, the waiters and the atmosphere they created in my heart and now it's gone. The food? Still good!!! But the atmosphere felt like I was stuck in a room with a bunch of uncle's that I don't care for!!!

A bit of the old fashioned atmosphere. Service was very good and good precautions for Covid and clean. I had a nice steak and my wife had some pasta. I give it 5

Anytime I can go to a restaurant, and eat all of my food because I'm too full, and only spend lest then $50 for two people and getting 3 course meal? Displace is highly recommended from me
