    Roost never disappoints. I love that the cauliflower is always on the menu and most of the dishes change every couple of months, always something new and fabulous to try. Happy hour prices are fantastic for wine, perfect location for before a show.

    We enjoyed an outstanding meal at Cafe Rabelais last night for my husband's birthday. We started with a small order of the mussels which were plump and perfectly cooked. We then had the onion soup which was also excellent. For entrees, my husband had the Steak au Poivre and I had the Trout Almondine. Both were delicious! Finally, for dessert, we shared the Belle Helene and the Profiteroles. Delightful! The entire dining experience was perfect.

    The food was pretty good. I had the crab cakes, the seafood risotto, the chocolate hazelnut torte and a cappuccino. My server was very attentive, keeping my drinks filled. I went for Sunday brunch.. It was a little loud because there was a live saxophonist doing a mixture of show tunes, R&B, and yacht rock (he had a great tone). Will definitely return.
