This was our first time to Rood and we will be back. We visited on a week night, so it wasn't too crowded and we had a nice relaxing meal. The menu is somewhat unique, but we wanted to try everything based on the descriptions. The food we decided on was great and the service perfect. This is another Lakewood gem!
