    The restaurant is beautiful inside and everything was wonderful. Our service was great. I feel like the steaks were a little more expensive for no particular reason. Don’t get me wrong, they were good, but price wise, it didn’t add up. Also, not a fan of the Cesar salad. Lots of places try to out their own spin on it and I wish they wouldn’t.

    Good food and good service but not 5 stars for the price. For 5 stars I am expecting Ocean Prime level service and this was more middle of the road.

    Christmas Eve, expected it to be busy. We’re seated and it took several minutes to be acknowledged. After about 10 minutes we got some water poured. Ordered drinks which were forgotten about until we asked about them. Long story short, it was really loud and noisy and the service was terrible. Not the waiters fault. He had large parties and at least 5-6 tables. The food was very good. We’ll go back as we always enjoy this restaurant

    We had a lovely Christmas Eve dinner in the dining room. It was busy yet everything was perfectly cooked. The Ahi Tuna was excellent as was the pork tenderloin.

    We had a great dinner tonight for my husbands 50th birthday. The servers recommendations were on point and we enjoyed every bite of our meal. It was a 10 out of 10 experience and we will definitely be back.

    Jason was our server. He took great care of us. He made nice suggestions. The cocktails were wonderful. Which each had a different entree and all outstanding. My only negative comment…. $12 for a basket of French Fries? That right there tells you that all prices are inflated. Bottom line, Roaring Forks is consistently delicious. The pork & green chili is NOT to be missed!
