   We happened to drive by a few weeks ago and thought we should give it another try and we were thrilled that it was just as good as it was before. All there menu is rotates with the seasons, and we still loved it. It is a small place so defiantly get a reservation but the people were just as good as the food. Come hungry and leave both happy and full.

   The food at Roost is always excellent and Andy is a fun server. The atmosphere is rustic, which is charming. The menu changes every 6 weeks or so, so there are always options we haven't tried. Great place!

   We enjoy Roost. The food never disappoints! Always a full house and unfortunately with that comes noise in a small place. Plus, on a hot amd steamy Houston evening it was warm inside. Still, totally worth the food.

    Our group of 6 was seated quickly. The wait staff provided great service and recommendations. The food was great - all 6 of us really enjoyed our food. The only negative was that as the restaurant filled up, the noise level eventually made it difficult to hear conversation at our table.

    We made reservations for a Saturday evening and our entire experience was a wonderful one. We were greeted and our server, Carla, was fantastic. She helped guide us through our choices with her thoughtful experiences with the food directly. Made a real difference for us. The food was wonderful. We chose the bread service (decadent start) and the three course meal. I'm not a cauliflower type person but it was very good as was my wife's salad. Her was Warqa was shockingly good given it was more veg centric...super delish and satisfying. My fish and shrimp were very good. The bread pudding...hallelujah! Will definitely be back...

    I had not been to Roost in over 10 years. I am so happy to rediscover this charming neighborhood restaurant with a delicious seasonal menu and great wine. The service was wonderful and on a Monday it was very quiet and great drink prices.

    A bit disappointing. Lamb was tough. Ravioli was drowning in cream. The Brussels sprouts and bread were pretty good though. Had been over a year since I’d been there. Won’t be back.

    Roost HoustonResponded on March 18, 2022Ralph, we truly apologize for the faults you experienced. we are in a transition period when it comes to some kitchen staff and we are trying very hard to train and also put out a great product. Hopefully we can have you visit in the near future and try to regain your trust. Thanks so much for the honest review and we are definitely going to look in to improving these items.

    High quality food and service. I thought that the meals were made from scratch, with fresh ingredients, very tasty, flavorful and well cooked. Interesting menu (that changes monthly) and wine list. Our waitress was very friendly, knowledgeable and kindly replied to our questions about the menu and wine. Besides, she and the cooks went above and beyond to accommodate dietary restrictions, which is well appreciated. Nice atmosphere, with a kind of European vibe with its pros (lovely, cozy) and cons (could be a bit cramped for some people I guess). It can be difficult to park in this area.

    I like the restaurant overall. However, our waitress disappeared for a long time after she dropped off the check. I noticed she was just standing by the kitchen window talking to the staffs. She went to another table but never checked back to us for over 30mins. Once I noticed the issue after patiently waited for her. I took the check with our credit cards to her at the bar. When she bought our charges back she also forgot my leftover togo. I saw the other waiters were more attentive in general during the whole dining experiences as well.

    We were taken upstairs to wait for our table to be clear. When we were seated and our wine order taken, it took forever. Server said it was because they’d run out of wine glasses. Then she brought us glasses, and we didn’t see the bottle of wine for at least another 5-10 minutes. Food was pretty good, though the grits in the shrimp dish were basically water. The corn pudding dessert is ruined by the presence of corn nuts. I can see how there are items on the menu that would bring locals back for midweek meals, but this is not the place for a “we only go out to dinner without our kids once every few months” kind of place.

    As always, Roost delivers an amazing menu and experience. The Oysters Rockefeller dish is absolutely stellar, and one of our favorites so happy to see it’s returned on this menu! We loved the steak. The lamb shank and rice was savory and comforting, the shrimp and grits were light and flavorful and the fish was delicious. You can’t go wrong with this spot! Highly recommend!

    A bit pricey but excellent food and ambiance in a relatively small space. Small candles at each table are a nice touch. Almost every table was occupied when we were there but interestingly it didn't seem crowded. It's a good neighborhood restaurant with a pared-down menu.

    Food, service and ambiance were excellent. I took a point off bc we ordered coffee and were charged 2.50 for each creamer/ half & half. Have never been charged for that before.

    My wife and I had a great experience on Valentine's night. Our waitress was excellent. We had a food allergy question and that was quickly and effectively communicated with the chef. So, I would highly recommend Roost to anyone who wants a wonderful meal and yet quiet enough that you can have great conversation.

    Restaurant has a rustic exterior which had led me to believe it was a hamburger-type joint. Far from the truth! The menu is varied with excellent choices of entree (the menu is changed every month or two - I forget which). My wife had the octopus and wants to eat there every night now because it was so good. We shared a terrific salad and I had the almond crusted fish (redfish this particular night). It was also excellent. We will be back!!

    Nice off the beaten path joint. Wife loved the duck and I had redfish. Both excellent. Reasonable price. Could probably have a few more wine choices but the Chardonnay we had was just fine, not high end. Will certainly return!!!!

    Small farm to table restaurant near Montrose. The menu rotates every month or so, with the exception of a few staples - like the bread service that we tried and really enjoyed. We're looking forward to going back and trying the cauliflower menu item that's also a staple and trying out something new.
