Rood has always been a great restaurant, but their current 7 course tasting menu is so excellent it would be a shame not to share! Chef Josh and the whole team are working to reduce food waste and are offering this tasting menu trying to use all parts of the fare they purchase to help do their part for the world. This doesn’t mean you end up with strange off-cuts or old produce, but instead are offered dishes incorporating sauces and purees made by them in-house, aging and preserving to stick to the mantra of the offering. I truly believe the ingenuity and expertise they show in the dishes are on par with Michelin-prospects in larger cities.
Because they are mostly using ingredients on hand, the menu changes frequently, with dishes switching out or being altered as much as every week. On this occasion, I enjoyed delicious and inventive dishes such as an oyster with a house made citrus-kosho, squash 3 ways (squash served in a squash-miso sauce with squash vinegar), a “fish-stick” made from scallops, elk loin, and a beautiful stone axe wagyu with parsnip puree, potato mille-feuille, and smoked bourbon marinated oyster mushrooms (a smaller portion of the dish on their current menu). All of this and more made for a truly wonderful evening on a cold Cleveland night!
The service at Rood feels truly welcoming, with wait staff, bartenders and chefs all feeling professional yet friendly and approachable: the kind of people that are busy working but happy to slow down for a moment to chat. The drink menu is excellent as well, with well-crafted cocktail options and solid beer and wine choices to pair with all of their dishes.
Any review of Rood would not be complete without mentioning their desserts! One of only a few restaurants with a pastry chef not only on staff, but as a partner of the business. Honestly, there’s been more than one occasion where I’ve visited exclusively for cocktails and desserts.
I wanted to leave this review to encourage others to go enjoy this tasting menu as I felt like it might not be getting the attention it deserves, but on this night I saw the chef and team bringing out many of the tasting dishes to tables in the dining room, so the secret might be out. Still, I hope my review encourages someone to splurge a bit on an evening with fun, delicious and inventive food from a passionate restaurant.

My husband and I came here for my birthday today, and it was our first time here! We have been wanting to try it so bad and seriously SO glad we did. Best experience, such fun and creative food choices and the atmosphere and the staff is so so kind and knowledgeable about the dishes!! The food was amazing and completely worth every penny, whole time we were kicking our feet !! Haha, WILL be returning. 100/10!

This review is a tale of the good, the bad, and the ugly.
The good … The service was fantastic! From the host to the bartender to the server to the manager, all of them were total pros. Also, our cocktails were interesting and delicious. As was the Lake Erie “wings”… fun and delicious.
That’s when things started falling apart. The bad… My wife and I both ordered the wild boar gnocchi. We were both so disappointed. We ordered gnocchi, what we received was three rolled potato “logs” smothered in over-salted greasy meat sauce. Just no!!
Then there’s the ugly. This place was known for their pie. Alas, not no more. Without a good pie option, we settled on a dessert consisting of dark chocolate ganache, brûléed bananas, pralines, with brown butter and sage ice cream. Sounds amazing, doesn’t it? It was not. It was just weird. Again, so disappointing. The manager did remove this from our bill.
I might have been a little more lenient if the price point wasn’t what it is. But with what we spent, our expectations were not met, not even close.

Amazing food, ESPECIALLY the bread and dessert pies! The chocolate raspberry pie and the honey one are to die for! The apps/entrees left a bit to be desired but did not affect the great time we had here – the service is excellent and the vibes are immaculate for a date night. We will be happily returning customers!

One of the best meals of my life! A bit expensive, but if you like food as an experience/art, it’s worth it. We had the 7 course tasting menu. You have the option to keep every dish a surprise, and for most of them, a member of the staff will give a really cool explanation of the dish. It was $100 per person, and the menu is always changing depending on what ingredients they have a surplus of any given week.
All 7 dishes were unlike anything I’d ever eaten before, and the flavors were incredible. The wagyu in particular was amazing, it tasted like it should’ve cost $100 by itself.
Great place for a special date or if you like to eat adventurously.

Rood food was not a rude experience at all. From the beautiful interior to the whimsical cocktail list and variety of menu items…we loved this place and are mad at ourselves for not coming sooner! We had a pleasant experience! Sean was a lovely server and was very helpful with navigating the menu. Love people watching on Madison as well. The portions were plentiful and the flavors were popping! Of course we had to have pie as well! Can’t wait to come back!

The food is a wonderful Experience. We all licked our plates clean. We got way, duck, chicken & dumplings and the honey salt pit for dessert. Drinks- bourbon, cosmo, & an autumn special. Expensive but worth it. Good atmosphere. Interesting decor.
My only thing I didn’t care for was the table I was at.. the light was right above my head(low hanging light). I felt like I kept squinting at my friends. I had to change seats. Parking we had to get dropped off. There was a lot of construction in the area and only street parking near by.

Fabulous top to bottom. Went to it a girlfriend on a Wednesday. Sat in the back room which was dimly lit and had a great vibe. Our server,
Sean, was a delight. He was fun and knowledge about the menu. The highlights for us were the Koji rolls (still dreaming about them and all the delicious combination to try next time with the provided whipped butter, apple jam, flavored and fluffy mascarpone, and kimchi. I could have eaten 3 plates of those things. We split the bbq carrots and meatloaf. Both flavorful and creatively inspired. Chef Josh came out to present us with a small serving of the Waygu and it was amazing. He talked about having zero waste as a goal. I am sure this pushes him to think creatively to develop expected and unexpected flavor marriages. Lest of forget the Bruleed pecan pie. The attention to detail on the pecans alone is worth mentioning—roasted and caramelized. And the chantilly? Chef’s kiss. I just wish the font were bigger on the menu!
Can’t wait to go back…the rolls really got me as did everything else!
