    Arrived a little early but were greeted and seated and given water and menus immediately. Shortly thereafter greeted by our waitress who took drink orders and appetizer orders after telling us the specials. Food was delicious. Great special crab cake appetizer over a home made fish sauce. My vegetable Wellington was delicious and beautifully served and husband was delighted with his 16 oz prime rib. Carnivores will love this place but they do have a couple of options for non meat eaters. Also a couple of fish options. Small,cozy and comfortable if a little loud at times. Definitely will be on our list of places to return. Great service too

    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!
