My boyfriend took me here for the first time on Valentine's Day. Root 174 most certainly did not disappoint.  The ambiance was lovely and the service was excellent. Because of the holiday it was filled with couples, however I feel that, while small, they wouldn't have an issue accommodating a larger party.\n\nWe started with the mussels appetizer, which were fantastic. It was also the perfect size for two people to share.\n\nI had the gnocchi with beef tongue.  I have to say that I've never eaten beef tongue before, but I was feeling adventurous.  It was great! The meat was tender and flavored perfectly. My BF had the tuna special, which was yummy.  The tuna was great.  For dessert we split the chocolate cake with local berries. Yum!\n\nI will most definitely be back to Root 174 and plan on telling friends to check it out.
