When you settle in, you come home to roost. A roost is a place that feels comfortable. It’s a place where we all have a little something in common. It’s a place that takes a community and builds it into a home. That’s the spirit of ROOST Restaurant located in the new, exciting and vibrant community of NOMA Square on Main Street in downtown Greenville, South Carolina. Situated next to the Hyatt Regency Greenville, ROOST is a casual restaurant featuring the best fresh local bounty that Greenville has to offer. Our focus is on giving the community a place to eat local and seasonal food of the highest quality, cooked with care, and at an honest price.

We had items from the Greenville Restaurant Week Menu. We both had Philly Steak Egg Rolls, Sauteed Scallops. My wife had a Chocolate Hill and I had Creme Brulé for dessert. The appetizer was prepared nicely, the egg roil shell was crisp, and the meat very tender. The entree was well presented, the scallops tender and cooked perfectly, with a loaded rice side dish, also very tasty. The desserts were scrumptious. The lager beer, prepared on site, was very good. All in all, a very pleasant dinner. We'll be returning to this restaurant!

We did not have dinner here, just cocktails. A very nice, cozy cocktail bar. Prices are on par with other bars.
