I love the roost. I've eaten there many times the service is always great and the atmosphere is wonderful. Dave is awesome and his dishes always are savory and unique. Tonight I had the prime rib and it is so delicious. I'm never disappointed after I go there!
We always enjoy our suits to the Roost. A hearing loss can make dining out a challenge for us. We try to visit the Roost early in the evening and mid-week to enjoy the quieter ambiance. This visit we introduced friends to this restaurant. The cocktails that arrived with an ice float on top were a special treat. We were all pleased with our dinner choices (two different salads with protein, small plate tacos and a fish entree). Joelle took great care of us and provided extra information and recommendations on request. A very nice evening.

The meal was very good but we were unable to use the $25 OpenTable reward. This is the second time and second restaurant where the reward could not be redeemed. It happened yesterday at The Roost and a few months ago at 636 Main. It appears that the reward program is a scam.

Great spot in downtown Durango. We stopped in on a Saturday night on our way through town. Had a short wait for a table, service was great. I had the pulled pork chimichanga, which was out of this world. Hubby had the cod entrée, which he really enjoyed.

The food was good - prime rib was well seasoned and tasted good. The 16 oz typically had a 1.5"x2" section of pure fat, but still it was overall a good value. Service was so-so. The waitstaff seemed a bit unattentive and absent minded. This stretched a dinner that would have been 45 minutes into nearly an hour and half. Again, good food for a reasonable price.

5 star to me, great price for such excellent food. Drinks were great, food was great. Try prime rib or steak. Some type of land animal. Don't be afraid to splurge.

The food was excellent. Kelly, our server, was very attentive and prompt without being overbearing. We enjoyed some of the specials (appetizer, dessert) being featured for Valentine's week.
Me and my wife had very good overall experience for Valentines. Had the meatloaf which I really enjoyed. Wife is a light eater and had the bang bang shrimp over an avacado salad. The salad was delicious and interesting. The prices were very reasonable for what we had. Also had a good martini and a glass of Josh wine.
Their Roast Beef meal doesn't disappoint! Just great! They have very good service and a decent menu including some really cool speciality cocktails. Not much vibe but it's sort of an OG place .. the bar is sort of vibey?
This is a very good restaurant with a wide menu, entrees, sandwiches, salads, all the choices you would care to make. Service was prompt, the fried potatoes with my salmon burger. My friend had the tasty potato skins, a favorite. It is centrally located, friendly and relaxed.

The Roost was just ok. We were seated at a small cramped table despite having a reservation and the restaurant being quite empty. When my husband asked for a larger table the hostess said, "There's just 2 of you right?" We were not offered a different table. We ordered a bottle of white wine; the server came back to our table and said their wine cooler was broken, and the only bottle of chilled Chardonnay they had was a $70 bottle, twice the price of the one we ordered. When we decided to go elsewhere for dinner, suddenly they had 2 additional chilled Chardonnays of comparable price to the one we ordered. Not sure if that was intentional, or an oversight... The food was very average, not great not bad.

Abby the bartender is one of the laziest, rude, and disrespectful people I have delt with at a restaurant. My drink took an extreme amount of time and when it came out it was less then mediocre.

A music themed fine dining experience! Chef has done an amazing job bringing high scale meals with an affordable price tag. DO NOT MISS THE WEEKLY SPECIALS, they're amazing.
