The Roycroft Inn Restaurant is my first choice for lunch or dinner in southern Erie county. There are amazing specials on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. The ambience can't be beat. The menu is unique. Service is always superb. This visit, however, the piece of salmon on my spinach salad was skimpy.

Everything was wonderful the staff the environment and we all were enjoying our time. However, the person who had the Cuban sandwich found that the pork was tough and too thick. I believe a Cuban sandwiches are supposed to be filled with really thinly sliced matter not a thick one, but that was the only problem we had And there’s no way I would stop coming to the Roycroft. I think it’s a wonderful venue and everything I’ve always been happily satisfied. Have a great day bye

This was our first time back to the Roycroft for Sunday brunch since the covid pandemic began, and we were so thrilled with the whole experience. Their new bottomless mimosas helped! The service was excellent as always, as was the string duet in the brunch room. Much of the food was very tasty including the salmon and the breakfast potatoes. The green beans, pancake bake and some of the desserts could have used a little more flavor, but for the variety of foods available, overall it was a great meal for us and our teen.

I have been to the Roycroft many times, the food was slop, ribs were bones and fat without taste, peri peri chicken had no spices, the food tasted like nothing. The Bills “Make Me Wanna Shout” and country music was blaring due to a wedding, we were shoved in a musty back room, this was for a birthday and I had to remind staff of this. Awful experience, extremely disappointed. This is not the same Roycroft as in the past.

Great food, lovely setting. Real nice touch was the option for dessert “slivers,” smaller portions more suitable for one person. It was Mother’s Day eve, so it was pretty busy, and the service was a bit slow—probably understaffed. The room we were in was quite loud—low, hard ceiling and walls. Staff is attentive.

it was our anniversary and we were welcomed with a comp glass of champagne and a mini rice salad. very nice. nice table. comfortable chairs. pleasant waitress. nice atmosphere. food was delicious. one snafu..my husband's entree order was entered wrong and the wrong one came out. I had to eat alone while his was being prepared over again. had to wait 30 minutes more. He was not happy. He had the paella which was okay. not made with traditional saffron or the same proteins as he has had elsewhere. My short ribs were tender and delicious. shrimp and lobster bisque was very good. crab cakes were good. my wine flight was a good deal 4 3 ounce wines for $16. more than enough for me. we were offered a comp drink to make up for the mistake. desserts were great. hot fudge sundae in two sizes. also a sliver of chocolate ganache cake that came with an after dinner cordial was perfect size. we sat indoors but outdoor seating is also available.

Food was delicious, servers were fantastic- only issue was there was some sort of banquet going on right next to us. They were very loud and it was hard to have a conversation at our table. There was even an awards? portion- or maybe toasts? Not sure what was going on- so cheers and applauds were added to the noise. It was very nice when the banquet ended.

Our waiter Matthew was outstanding. He was attentive, kind and professional. The food was very good although the desserts were dry and not very tasty. The ambiance at roycroft is always lovely. We were surprised to see how casually (baseball caps and jeans) people dressed. The Roycroft deserves more effort to come dressed appropriately. There should be a dress code. Overall it was a very pleasant brunch.
