    Our service and food were really good. We will be going back. However, in Winston-Salem, I don't see the reason for a $14 liquor drink or any super high drink prices, for that matter. That is our only complaint. Otherwise, food and service were very good!

    An excellent meal. I had the Osso Bucco and my wife the Beef Short Ribs. Both were really well prepared and tasty. We both especially like the ample au jus with each of our plates. Our server was Destiny and she really took care of us.

    We went on Mother's Day and graduation weekend, so that probably affected part of our experience. However, shortly after we arrived, the restaurant really thinned out as far as crowd. As of 55 minutes after our reservation time, we still had no food on the table, including the bread that we had asked for. Food was delicious, but we all attacked ours ravenously when it arrived because it took a while.

    We had a wonderful experience at the restaurant. The noise level was a little high, but the food and the service more than compensated. Our server, Danielle was pleasant and as efficient as she could be under the circumstances. It was apparent that she was serving a lot of tables, but she found the time to accommodate our needs. She made the experience all the better. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for food, service and ambiance!

    It was Mother’s Day and we had reservations, We were told it was only brunch being served. The menu was very limited, The Shrimp and grits are sweet please let it be known on the recipe. I was a little disappointed that when we was leaving we seen that they was serve pasta to other guest. A stated they was serving brunch all day but that wasn’t the case..

    We made a reservation to celebrate mother’s day. The first problem was that the menu was restricted to salads, few brunch dishes and pizza. Nothing else. Very limited and without any indication of that menu when we were making the reservation. We order 1 salad and 3 Pizzas. The restaurant was 30% of the capacity at the time that we ordered and it took them a full hour to bring us the 3 pizzas. To solved the situation and after I complained they removed 2 glass of wine and 1 mimosa, from the check. No manager or supervisor came to the table to talk or apologize The service was poor, without any attention on details. I understand that the proposal of the restaurant is something new on the area and that is included on the “Roar Building experience “ but definitely the management needs to take more attention to details like those. A lot of things needs to change there to go back to that restaurant.

    We were sat for 20 minutes before I got a cup of water. That was after we had to go up to the bar to ask for a cup. The food was fantastic, but the venue was SO loud. There was a bar above and below it so just know what you’re getting into.

    First time at Est. Overall a very good experience. Food was delicious and very well prepared. Noise level was very high but the only negatives was it was very hot inside and service was a little slow. I will definitely come back though.

    We had reservations and were seated. We stayed for 30 minutes and were never acknowledged. I’m sure they were understaffed , but they could have offered us a drink or thanked us for waiting. Food on other tables looked good.

    The pasta was some of the best I’ve had. The location inside the food hall really throws off the potential of this place. There was an unfortunate technology hiccup and some rude patrons had no patience for it. I felt bad for the staff. I would like to go back and give it another shot because the food was so good. The drinks were good too.

    If you are a fan of Italian food, Est! Est!! Est !!! is the BEST BEST BEST!! Traditional pasta dishes are prepared in a way that elevates them. Special entreés like roast chicken with broccoli rabe or a rich plate of Osso Buco make the menu so much more interesting! We started with homemade focaccia with dipping sauces that definitely pleased the crowd. Plus the bartender nailed all of the drinks, even those mixes not on the menu. The space within ROAR is so comfortable and contemporary (except when the sun is setting through the front window and directly hits the table; a window shade would be a nice addition!). Walking off our meal downtown made for the perfect end to an evening in Winston. Overall, it was a fabulous experience and we are looking forward to coming back!

    I was really hoping that the mixed reviews I read before coming here had worked there way out. I even understand short staffed situations. Our Waitress Leah was fantastic as she was the only server for at the time 4 tables. She was very poised and professional. We had a reservation for 8 people. It took an hour just to get a salad and a few appetizers. We then noticed others were receiving their appetizers then their meals. Why? The kitchen blamed the waitress but we had a reservation you knew we were coming. The last straw was when the table of 4 came in much later than we did received the meals and we had nothing. After 2 hrs we left no food we cancelled our orders as they had not even been prepared except for 1. ( that made no sense). The management team apologized of course. They made it right but we were still hungry in the end. The bread was good. I’m almost afraid to return for lack of service by the kitchen staff. But thank you to Leah! For your hard work in a tough situation.

    Valentine’s Day: We paid for a set menu in which we didn’t receive the dessert from, our order was taken wrong, and our “tiramisu” was not moist and covered in whipped crème. Terrible for what I paid.

    Food was good. Wait staff seemed harried. Kept forgetting to check on us and skipped an entire course. Waitress mentioned the manager wanted to comp us, but we weren’t comped. Overall enjoyed it, I think they just need better execution for events.

    Me and my girlfriend went for Valentine’s Day due to our previous restaurant having to cancel our reservation and this was the only place that still had reservations available …and we see why. The food was not good at all, they had a set menu which was fine but you had to share most of the most of the courses. Everything seemed like it was prepped in advance which is fine considering it being vday but the food just wasn’t up to par. We got burrata, Caesar salad, a ravioli dish that consisted of 2 ravioli, osso buco, and tiramisu. The best thing we had was the Caesar salad. Maybe the regular menu is better but we will not be going back to find out. The service wasn’t great but we couldn’t blame her because she was the only server working with 2-3 food runners from what we could see. $100 wasn’t bad for vday dinner but the food wasn’t worth even half of that. We tipped our server in cash but when I checked my online banking we were charged $125 but it’s my fault for not saving a copy of the receipt.

    Place was not busy and took TWO and a HALF HOURS to get through meal. Food was not good it was ok. Fish was undercooked. Portions are small. Reminded me of when they were in France and the chefs microwaved meals in European Vacation. They lost ours and other tables orders. The time between courses was ridiculous. The only thing they did promptly was when the waitress practically stood over me to get the check. They need a lot of help. The only way this place will stay afloat is by first time costumers. We will not be returning. The Italian guy is real nice.

    We enjoyed our Valentine's 5 course dinner at Est. Unfortunately, we were seated closed to the front door and felt the draft each time someone entered. Service was slow. We enjoyed trying different dishes and especially liked the mushroom soup. But all & all we had an enjoyable evening.

    We went for a date/pre-theater dinner and when I made the reservation, I didn’t realize they had a pris fix Valentine’s menu that weekend and the standard menu wouldn’t be available. When I noted my disappointment to the waiter, he went to great lengths to ensure we were able to order with a bit more flexibility. Truly wonderful service.

    This is not fine dining. We had to look for someone to seat us and were told to sit anywhere. This wasn’t a problem as the restaurant was almost empty. The space is unappealing. The Italian arias and songs being played clashed with the loud music coming from the Roar music being played just outside. The food selection was limited and acceptable but not great. Cocktails were too sweet and wine list mostly second rate American. Roar needs to rethink what to do with this space.

    The food quality was very good to excellent. But the experience was greatly offset by being understaffed and service process. We were never greeted at host stand. Our server was doing double duty as bartender and waitress. Add to that, the poor design in layout space. Cold air from the front door continously flowed in to the dining area. Should have built the restaurant in an enclosed space from Roar entry.
