I stopped by The Roost last Tuesday for lunch, and I was pleasantly surprised by how fresh and flavorful their farm-to-table dishes were. The roasted chicken was perfectly cooked, and the sides were a nice complement.
Servers are tending to a wide variety of tables from different store fronts, so be patient, they're very busy. Food is great from all of the selections, but my favorite was the Sushi. I will say, for my experience, a lot of families were present and allowed their kids to run around the entire restaurant. Not the fault of the establishment persay, but it definitely effected out time.
The Roost was really exciting when it first opened — great food, nice variety. Now, it’s just OK (if that). I mainly order vegetarian selections, which are limited. There are superior vegetarian choices in Barracks Row/Eastern Market. Safeway is even better—or at least equally serviceable. Maybe the Roost is great if your preference is meat/chicken/fish. But it feels like they’ve stopped trying. It’s disappointing.
