That’s the spirit of ROOST Restaurant located in the new, exciting and vibrant community of NOMA Square on Main Street in downtown Greenville, South Carolina. Situated next to the Hyatt Regency Greenville, ROOST is a casual restaurant featuring the best fresh local bounty that Greenville has to offer. Our focus is on giving the community a place to eat local and seasonal food of the highest quality, cooked with care, and at an honest price.

    Food is just so so. Nothing to rave about. It’s a basic limited brunch buffet. Not even close to what Soby’s use to put out.

    It was unfortunate to have poor service and a poor food experience at a restaurant with such rave reviews. I hope it was just circumstantial for last night, but we won’t be back.

    Very disappointing. Food was mediocre and made my stomach hurt afterwards. Service was slow, bar service was even slower and my cocktail should have come out martini glass but apparently they were out and it showed up in a large wine glass. Not to mention it was my birthday, my sister made the server aware and at no point did he wish me a Happy Birthday. One of the worst meals I’ve had out in awhile. Definitely would not recommend wasting your time or money here.

    We were on the patio and there was a large table very close to our table and they were extremely loud. Then we were informed that they only had the buffet and you couldn’t order off the menu. It was a group of ladies and none of us are buffet types. The food was average and service was average. Probably won’t go back.

    My fiancé and I had a lovely dinner with amazing service. Our waiter was very helpful and friendly. My fiancé always gets their smoked salmon and enjoys it every time, I got the shrimp ceaser salad and thought it was one of the best I’ve had. The environment is always nice and enjoyable, quiet with warm lighting and comfortable seating. We always enjoy Roost and always look forward to our next visit! Would highly recommend!!

    Great place! The sangria and shrimp and grits were excellent, and the scallops were really good. They didn't overbooked for Valentine's Day, so it wasn't super crowded or rushed like most places on the holiday. We'll be back!

    My wife and I had a wonderful Valentine’s Day dinner at Roost. The atmosphere was light and inviting and the food was excellent. We enjoyed the French Onion soup appetizer very much. Our entrees, the Tenderloin Farfalle and Apple Cider Braised Pork Shoulder, were outstanding. We capped off our dining with a slice of the Bourbon Pecan pie and i enjoyed sipping a glass of Grand Marnier. But the absolute highlight of the dining experience was our server, Autumn. She was truly delightful while being efficient and attentive to our needs. Autumn had solid understanding of the menu options and her suggestions were spot on. She has an uncanny ability to effortlessly elevate a solid dining experience to a very special level. Her soft spoken demeanor, friendliness and restaurant knowledge were greatly appreciated. My wife and I will certainly return to Roost in the near future. Many thanks to Roost, and particularly Autumn, for providing a fabulous dining experience!

    Pricey brunch buffet, but food is delicious, omelets made to order, beautiful venue, and great brunch options. Service could have been a bit faster on refills and removing used plates, but when requested these items were provide.

    The food was outstanding. All six of us enjoyed our lunch. The turkey ruben, fried chicken sandwich and pulled pork were outstanding. The Bloody Mart was also excellent. Unfortunately our server was not outstanding. She never checked in on us and we often had to ask someone to find her when we needed drinks.

    My experience was very pleasant. Service was great, food was great, and the environment seemed calm and collected. The seared scallops were very good. The sweet tea was also really good. The pimento cheese crusted filet was also very good, especially if you are a cheese lover.

    Food was so-so, not bad but not great. Scallops were rubbery and tough, but the meal tasted good. Service was strange, personable but almost standoff-ish. Overall, not great value for money, and the food has gone downhill since the 2010s.

    Service and food for the most part was amazing. We loved the appetizers, main courses, and desserts. However, the mac and cheese did disappoint us. Overall, a really great experience, and we will be returning- just not for the mac and cheese.

    Food was awful - scallops fishy and the sauce was gritty. Steaks thin and fatty. Asparagus was undercooked. Bread pudding was way too dry. The cocktail Apple in my Rye was very good and that was it. We did tell our server that we were not happy and they did not charge us for the 3 steaks we ordered.

    The food was very good. The appetizers - cheese board and artichoke dip were a great start. The brussel sprouts were to die for! We would have enjoyed our entrees more had they all come out at the same time. Our guess is that one entree was never entered into the system. When we finally caught the wait staff member’s attention we were assured it would be right out. 15 minutes later it still was not delivered. It was taken off the bill at that point and eventually packaged to go - it was a steak that was not cooked to specification. The restaurant week dessert of chocolate cake was delightful.

    The service was very poor. We had to ask for new water glasses due to them having debris floating. After ordering steak we had to ask for steak knives to cut the out steak. The food was nothing exciting. I do not recommend

    We purchased the 3 course meal as part of restaurant week. New York steak was featured. The entire piece of meat was tough with gristle- it was cooked to my choice of medium. The piece of meat simply was bad. Kept waiting for the soft center, but the entire steak was poor quality. Waitress was good, ambiance good - steak was very disappointing.

    Enjoyable place, but average food. I had the scallops and my wife had the steak. It was good, but I wouldn’t say it was fantastic…particularly for the cost. I probably will go back here, but there are other places I’d go to first.

    Great food, lots of fruit, which I love, pastries, bacon, eggs, made to order omelettes and waffles, lots of other great options like grits, potatoes, desserts. I was surprised they didn’t have cheeses, sausages, croissants. Overall, very good, great location, convenient city parking garage attached, great ambience, friendly service.
