    Amanda, our waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. All of her recommendations were delicious. I had the tuna with the seasoning on one side (based on the spice level per Amanda’s suggestion) and my husband had the trio. Our drinks were unique and good.

    We loved visiting Roy’s! We came as soon as they opened (made a reservation) and were very happy with our experience. They sat us at a table with a view after we told them it was our first time here and it didn’t disappoint! From the host, to our server, to FANTASTIC FOOD (and I’m being serious here) we had a lovely time and would absolutely be back. They take great care in their service, and plating of food and it felt extremely expensive and luxurious without breaking the bank!

    This was our second time at The Roost, and we were hoping it would be as good as our first time. It was! Our table had the prime rib, the pork chop and the ono; all dishes were superb. The biscuits are to die for and I highly recommend the carrot cake: amazing! For a special meal, whether locals or visitors, I urge you to give The Roost a try.

    Nice place to dine. Atmosphere and food were very good. Initially service was good but as the meal passed the waitress seemed to disappear.
