5 stars all around for incredible service, food, and environment. Grady aka Greggy aka someone give this guy a raise, was beyond exceptional in their flawless recommendations, parings, & attentiveness. Just an absolute delight. The maple and fig old fashion was perfection. Grady ended up being 5/5 with all their suggestions. Feeling safer in the hands of Grady’s expertise than with State Farm, we were able to enjoy our time without any concerns or issues. If you heard a ton of laughter and fun, it was our table living our best life while savoring every delicious bite. It was so good I forgot to take pics of the rest of the meal. I look forward to our next meal at Roost!

Came for restaurant week but will be back.
Food was amazing! Best potato soup, especially soaked up with some bread. Chicken was juicy, proscuttio was crisped to perfection. Firecracker shrimp was delicious.
Our server Chad was serving several tables at the same time but maintained such a calm demeanor. Very smooth, and had a great personality.
Also the restaurant itself was beautiful. Loved the chairs. Also enjoyed watching the open kitchen.

I had the Greek gyro and it was outstanding—perfectly seasoned, fresh, and incredibly flavorful. The seasoned fries were truly mouth-watering and cooked to perfection with just the right amount of crisp. On top of the food, the ambience really stood out. The indoor space was inviting and comfortable, and the heated outdoor seating made for a lovely dining experience as well. We will definitely be back!

I heard this place just recently opened, and since it was Restaurant Week I decided to check it out, it did not disappoint! I went for the three-course meal from the Restaurant Week menu for just $33. The firecracker shrimp was delicious, though a little heavy on the aioli; thankfully, the olive oil helped balance it out. For the main course, I had the Yard chicken, served with mashed potatoes, spinach, and garlic aioli, and it was full of flavor. To finish, I had the NY cheesecake, and as a New Yorker, I have to say, it really lived up to the hype! It was perfectly smooth, not too dense, and the raspberry jam added a nice touch. Overall, it was a fantastic meal, and I’m definitely coming back to try more dishes!

My wife and I enjoyed a fantastic meal with her mother at Roost Friday evening. She is both gluten free and dairy free and our waiter was very patient and accommodating for us. Best of all the food was absolutely delicious! We were a little underwhelmed by the recent renovations, but we will be back!

Amazing meal and the drinks were even better!
The best part was everything wasn’t perfect, but when it was brought to management’s attention it was addressed professionally.
Special thanks to Katrina, Assistant Manager, Roost, and Carol, Hyatt accounting!!

The food was amazing. My family and I dine here quite often. Today we were charged a large party fee, I was thinking it was gratuity however that was separate. We only had a party of 5. ?? The same we always have when we dine out…why the large party fee? I have called the restaurant several times inquiring but can never get any one on the phone, i did leave a voicemail. We dined there today for Thanksgiving brunch. I enjoyed my food, the service, and the atmosphere but not the unnecessary charges. No where did I see that we would be charged an extra $50 for a table of 5. I paid an extra $19.20, my sister paid an extra $19.20, and my nephew paid an extra $9.60…that is ridiculous..not to mention the tip was separate. Wow…The Roost I am speechless! Parties of 8 or more yes, I can understand a large party fee..but a party of 5 people??? It will make me rethink eating here again! We have eaten here many times for brunch, Easter brunch, etc.. always the 5 of us. Never any extra charges. Why now?
Update: The manager (Dan) contacted me and the situation has been resolved. We were compensated for the for the extra fees and gifted with gift certificates to dine again. Thank you Dan for reaching out and resolving the issue.

Christmas Day Buffet Review – The Roost
My wife and I have made the Christmas Day buffet at The Roost a tradition for well over six years. It’s something we’ve enjoyed with friends and, in years past, even with our mothers when they were still with us. Unfortunately, this year’s experience will be our last.
At $55 per person, the value simply was not there. The food quality and overall selection felt more like (and in some cases less than) what you’d find on a cruise ship buffet — but without anywhere near the variety. There were multiple potato dishes, yet only one green vegetable (asparagus). The prime rib I was looking forward to was overcooked, which was disappointing for a featured item at this price point.
The breakfast offerings were oddly executed. The bacon was very good, but the sausage was another story — it looked as though it had been taken straight from the package, barely warmed, and piled high in a bowl. It was unappetizing enough that I didn’t even try it.
The salad bar was also a shadow of what it used to be. There seemed to be more fruit than actual salad components, with very limited vegetables (onions, cherry tomatoes, and a small amount of carrots). The dressings were thin and runny, and even a basic, thicker option like Thousand Island wasn’t available.
Some of the other items felt out of place or poorly executed — the fried rice, for example, was cold and lumpy. Desserts looked appealing but, unfortunately, fell into that familiar category of “looks good, tastes disappointing.”
That said, I do want to be clear about the positives. The service was very good. Our server was friendly, attentive, brought clean plates promptly, cleared dishes efficiently, and made sure we were taken care of. I genuinely appreciate the staff who worked on Christmas Day — that’s not lost on us at all, and we tipped accordingly.
However, goodwill and tradition can only carry an experience so far. For the price being charged, the food quality, execution, and selection simply didn’t meet expectations — especially compared to prior years. Sadly, this breaks a Christmas tradition for us, but we’ll either find somewhere else open on Christmas Day or start making our own meal at home.
I truly hope management takes a hard look at this experience, because this used to be something special. Unfortunately, this year it just wasn’t worth it.

Haven’t been here in a while but I came to check out the place after the renovation. The dining room and bar look great! New menu had a lot of variety and looked really interesting.
We had a reservation for 8 people and our table was not ready until 10 minutes after our reservation even though the restaurant was barely half full. No big deal, stuff happens.
Drinks and apps were good and our first course came out quickly. The potato soup had great flavor but was a bit grainy and could have used a pass through a tamise.
Our entrees came out when we were only halfway done with our first course, meaning they were somewhat cold by the time we got to them which was unfortunate. In addition, the food runners did not know who to deliver the food to and given the already full state of the table, service was a bit awkward.
Desserts were excellent and had great presentation.
Before the end of our meal and well before closing the staff started to shut down the dining room, turning off table lights, etc. Felt like we were being rushed out of the restaurant.
This place has potential but front of house needs a refresher on standards and proper service.

Wonderful place with great ambiance. We had a large party and everyone enjoyed their food & drinks tonight. I did not LOVE my scallops, because they tasted a little fishy, but the delicious Brussel sprouts & other items made up for them. We also got several appetizers & they did not disappoint. Our favorite was the Artichoke Toast. Our waiter, Paul. Was very attentive & friendly.
