Rood Food & Pie

Is it a chill corner bar, or charming date-night spot to share sweets? Is it for feeding the parents, or some outside-of-the-office hanging with your coworkers? We say yes, to all. The pie options rotate, but the only stationary slice is the best: the salt and honey, a gooey hunk of wildflower honey custard accessorized with a tiny vial of bee pollen. If you assume that a place with killer pies wouldn’t put much effort into the rest of its menu, the lamb meatballs stuffed with truffled cow’s milk and citrus-charred octopus prove otherwise. Their marquee sign shines down a modern-day scripture: “Pie will never give you up or let you down, but it will dessert you.”
