We had a lovely pre-theater meal! The food and service were great, and everything was timed perfectly so we could enjoy our meal and still make it to the theater on time. Highly recommend!

We made a day trip to Delaware from Philadelphia and reserved a table at Roost for dinner due to their dietary accommodating menu. The food was delicious and there was something for each person in our party to enjoy. I loved the gluten free cornbread and the cocktails were crafted wonderfully! Our waiter was kind and considerate to my dietary needs - we will definitely return the next time we’re in Wilmington!

It was a Wednesday early for dinner. Didn't really need a reservation. We were able to sit and relax with another couple to talk without feeling rushed.
