My server Christine was absolutely amazing and attentive throughout my experience, I was impressed with her professionalism and good energy, so much so that it enraged me when I overheard the bartender, Mischa yelled across the bar at Christine to “pay attention to the door” where she looked away for a millisecond. As someone who has worked in restaurants for over 10 years I felt the tension in the employees interactions the moment I walked in and didn’t understand why until I heard Mischa being disrespectful to Christine. I took the time to ask him to come over and I expressed my concerns and he claimed he would apologize however I highly doubt that he will

Went on a Sunday during football season and were welcomed like we were regulars even though it was our first time! The hostess and server were so absolutely friendly and attentive. We had the calamari (best around with spicy aioli sauce!) and the smothered chicken dinner and pork loin meal. So tender and delicious. We will DEFINITELY be back!!

This place is working hard to keep a good name! In my opinion a solid 4.5-4.6 out of 5. They cook all fresh ingredients.
Artichoke hearts were awesome.
Turkey sandwich was great too.
Chritia, the waiter, made my visit enjoyable and provided a great quick service.
Also, nice location and seating outside.

This dinner was horrendous- 3 mains were inedible. Steak was so tough it had to be spit out. Prime Rib was warmed, seemed like it was heated in the flavorless au jus, was fatty, stringing and chewy. It was not roasted to temp, outside was a grayish hue, inside was red and barely warm for medium rare. Sides were decent if lukewarm. Server was snarky – when asked for bread she said they were an elevated American restaurant not Italian and her attire became snarkier from there. They did take $12 off a $200 bill – seriously- and said we wished we had said something earlier. But this was after they made it clear that we had to vacate the table by 6:30- a 1.5 hour reservation. There are so many great restaurants in the area, avoid this one for dinner!

This place has been on my local restaurants to try for awhile now. It did not disappoint. I went with a couple of my girlfriends, one of which is gluten free. This place was perfect because they have several gluten free and also vegan options for anyone looking for those dietary choices. I started off with the duck wings, which were so much larger than I expected, perfectly crunchy with a somewhat sweet sauce (reminded me of country sweet sauce) which really married the flavors. I chose to have the gnocchi with peas, large thick pieces of fresh pancetta, mushrooms, in a light cream sauce with parmigiana shavings. I needed to add some more seasoning and parmigiana, but ultimately it was good considering it was listed as gluten free. This place is worth a try. It is perfect to go with friends, a romantic dinner, or also great for double dates.

Was downtown one evening with my 9 yo and husband and we needed to get dinner; it was about 7pm. I did a quick search for semi-upscale American eatery’s near me and this place was one of the first few options. Their website contained photos that looked ambient, like it was a ‘popular’ little dine-in place; it looked warm, clean, cozy, as though like it would smell good too.
Once we finally found a place to park, which was quite a feat, especially with all the snow we just got, we opened the door and were immediately less than enthused. There were no yummy smells of food cooking and it wasn’t nice ‘n warm feeling. We stood at the door for a couple minutes because nobody greeted us, which was pretty uncomfortable and it’s 5° outside.
Anyway, we got seated at a little 4-person wood table by, I think the bartender, and about five minutes later, our waiter came over, who seemed like he was overwhelmed. It did appear he was the only waiter in the place. There were maybe 3 other tables of people who were clearly there to chill and chat, which was cool, but I needed to get my child fed. There’s no kids menu, which was fine because he just had a burger anyway… and there was absolutely nothing special about it, though it did come with green beans 🙂 the menu was a pretty typical American menu with a smorgasbord of options. I for example, got the crispy artichoke hearts from the appetizer menu, which were decent, and a crabcake from the appetizer menu, which was all breadcrumbs. smh My husband got some sort of fish taco thing which he said was just OK.
We ate, but it was definitely nothing to write home about, and no real reason to WANT to go back, especially because there are so many other little restaurants like that around that area. There was nothing stand-out about it.
If you just need a quiet, low-key place to go with a couple of people to grab a bite and chat, it’s good enough.

Roam cafe embodies casual class. It is a wonderful choice for a serious business meeting or the joyous reconnection of an old friend alike.
I enjoyed the daily special – a chicken penne florentine, I was hopeful to try their Glass Mountain Chardonnay though it was not available by-the-glass tonight.
The chicken dish was wonderful. The pasta was impressively tender without being stracotto.
The sauce had just enough of a sharpness to balance the subtle sweet of the spinach and peppers. Overall very happy.
My fiancé had a fish dish with sweet potato fries and sautéed zucchini – “it was good” she says 🙂
I recommend this location to anyone hopeful for a delicious meal and warm ambiance.
Prices are competitive and the food quality held true to their demand.

Definitely a bad night for a Google Level 8 Local Guide to bring his whole family in for dinner. I write honest reviews and pull few punches.
We’ve been to Roam several times and usually quite satisfied with the experience. Not tonight. We arrived a few minutes prior to our 7pm reservation and the seven of us were seated pretty quickly. Then we sat for 15 minutes before anyone even greeted us. Eventuality we were given tap ice water. Another 15 minutes lapsed before we were able to order drinks and were asked for our appetizer and entree order. Drinks hit the table at the 30 minute mark and the appetizers were another 15 minutes behind them. Dinner arrived at 1:45 into this and it wasn’t great. Served just warm and lacking flavor. The steaks and salmon were way over cooked and never did we get asked if all was okay. The only reason they earned a couple stars was due to the artichoke appetizer and pesto chicken. They were excellent. The martini was perfect and the bar tender was actually pretty friendly.
As I wished them luck after paying our tab and walked out. They knew it was bad. You could actually see it in their faces and less than pleasant attitude. It was very disappointing and we won’t be back.
