We went for dinner last night before a show. The atmosphere is beautiful and Bob our server was very friendly and attentive. The food and service were outstanding. Highly recommend Roost!
The Revel & Roost joint website is odd. It seemed like Revel is ONLY open for breakfast and brunch, but when we got to the restaurant, both parts were open. (Looking at their website more closely, I found their dinner, but the way they advertise it on the main page is odd.) We hope to try Revel at some point.
Roost had very good food and a bunch of things I wanted to try, though their menu was pretty limited. Roost has no happy hour drink specials, so if you want one of those, stop in Revel downstairs first. Roost was also fairly empty, so we didn't really need a reservation, but I like to make them to be safe if they take reservations.
The dish I was most interested in (scallops) had a lot I didn't like (I tried it, since my friend got it and I'm glad I skipped it, since I'm not a fan of peppers), but they have a scallop appetizer I'd like to get next time. The dinner also came with some delicious bread and dipping sauces/spreads. There was a LOT of food, so an appetizer wasn't necessary. I ate all the best stuff from my meal, but couldn't have possibly finished my meal after sharing the appetizer. Very good service and food. I'd definitely recommend it & look forward to trying Revel.
Blown away! Product, value, environment, and staff were all fantastic.
Went into Roost expecting to spend a ridiculous amount of money and was thoroughly surprised by the price of the menu items. Honestly I think you are getting much more value than you pay for!
Every meal was SPECTACULAR! And i would highly recommend them all (apologies for not sending the exact name of each meal):
Pork Chop
Lamb Chop
Bronzini Fish
Cheese plate
And 1 of each dessert:
Baked Ricotta
Coffee & Cream
Cheesecake
Chocolate Cake
*Side note: I wasn't even through my meal and I was texting friends to set up a date to return for a date night with my girls!
Great atmosphere, excellent entrees. We ate dinner at the bar and Bailey was one of the best bartenders we ever had. She made the experience exceptional. Bailey was very attentive and pleasant. A definite must if you are in Downtown Pittsburgh!
We've partnered with Roost on two Chef & Wine Pairing educational dinners and in both cases, the food, service, and space were excellent. Chef Brenden is producing some of the best dishes in Pittsburgh and the wine list offers a great selection of exceptional American wines. Highly recommended, do not miss this gem when downtown!
