Another great dining experience at The Roost. There were 6 of us each with a different meal. Everyone was very happy with their choices. Cookie brownie dessert and the after dinner coffee drink(can’t remember the name) were all delicious!

First time here, will be back. Great food and atmosphere, amazing service. We had 2 children and ordered their food with appetizers so it would come out quicker, to help keep them happy, food came out quickly. Adults ordered, our food also came out with really good timing.

Fantastic prime rib! I’m a prime rib snob and a frequently dissatisfied, or face it — disgusted —with bad prime rib. The Roost knocked it out of the park!
