   Mediocre experience. Arrived on time for our 5:45 reservation and the employee at the front desk was on the phone. She never looked up to acknowledge us, or indicate she would be with us in a moment. Once she finally got off the phone, she didn’t greet us - she just said how can I help you. Gave her our reservation info and she seriously never smiled or offered any pleasantries. The hostess that seated us acknowledged we were celebrating our anniversary - this was the only time during our visit it was acknowledged. We were seated and Jeffrey our waiter was extremely pleasant and helpful. But shortly after we were seated a group of eight women were seated next to us and were fairly loud so we asked to be moved to a quieter table. Jeffrey immediately responded and moved us to a quieter booth - which was much appreciated. Daniel was our new waiter and he was friendly and helpful just like Jeffrey. We ordered the queso for an appetizer with our cocktails. The drinks were great - the queso was just OK. I ordered the BLT salad and my husband ordered the Caesar salad - the BLT salad was OK but my husband never got his Caesar salad. We split the ribeye which was good along with the mashed potatoes. Overall an underwhelming experience.

   Our server was horrible and kept trying to upsell every single thing she possibly could. The NY Strip was not cooked thoroughly and had so much fat on it. The server just made it worst. Go to III Forks if you want a good steak and better service.

   Our waitress Cat, was MIA, took her almost 15 minutes from being seated to arrive, she took drink orders, dinner order and disappeared until time to order dessert. Water glasses sat empty. Not very impressed.

    As always, a great meal and great service. It was the first time at Roaring Fork for most of our party of 8, and everyone was impressed. Steaks, salmon, pork tenderloin, burger.... all great! The skillet cornbread was everyone's favorite!

    My husband and I ate off the happy hour and regular menus during the happy hour timeframe. Our table was in front of a warm, glowing fireplace. The food, service, pricing, and ambiance were exceptional. This restaurant played music at a volume that allowed us to speak in a normal tone and hear each other! We are already planning our return.

    The food was good, but the attentiveness and speed of service was a little lacking. The restaurant was not busy and the bartender could be observed watching football with the people at the bar, yet our cocktails took 10 minutes or more to arrive. Our food was then partially delivered to the wrong table. I had ordered a glass of wine to go with my entree that might as well have been dessert as it finally came as I was finishing my steak. Overall the food and ambiance delivered but the service lacked the attention to detail.

    The food was, as always, excellent. However, the section we were seated in was really cold. We asked on arrival to be in a warmer section due to my 80 year old father, but we got the ice box. Also, though the wait staff was cordial, they failed to mention that the cornbread ap had peppers in it. We specifically called out peppers as something one of us was allergic to in our reservation. Who puts peppers in cornbread anyway? Yuck. There are peppers in every other thing, leave them out of the cornbread. Trout was great, salmon was great. Guac (prepared with no peppers, thanks!) was great.

    We were in Austin for a concert at the Paramount Theater, next door to The Roaring Fork. Before the concert we went to Happy Hour at the Roaring Fork bar. The drinks were fantastic as was the Green Chili Pork appetizer on the $7 Happy Hour menu. We followed with a dinner reservation at Roaring Fork and the experience simply got better. The Tortilla Soup anf Rainbow Trout were both excellent. Service was attentive without being suffocating. Overall, a very enjoyable dining experience.
