    What a wonderful experience we had from the moment we arrived until our departure. I had incredible oysters and Delmonico steak. My hubby had steak tartare and roasted chicken. All dishes were beautifully plated and delicious.

    What a find! Were in town for a concert and the pub was directly across the street. What drew us in was the menu. Varied with something for everyone, and our server, Riley was the bomb. She was cheerful, helpful, and an overall joy to have serve us during our short stay. A true asset to the Roost. Highly recommend you give the place a try. If we get back, we will return.

    Great experience. Small plates allow for you to try multiple examples. We began with a salmon starter that was excellent. Four bites and you want more. We then did the burrata pop tart delicious. Emily allowed us stagger our orders and only order after each round. We went with the ribs next and the cucumber dill dipping sauce was a game changer. Now we went to a pasta dish and added the bread board….. if you go to Bardea do NOT miss the bread. Worth the crabs all the way. At this point we were wondering if we could handle one more dish…we opted for the chicken and sweet potatoes. This was the half portion and we only got through half of that dish but it was worth pushing ourselves. Dessert was out of the question so we passed and called for our car to be brought around by the valet service. All in all a great evening.
