We have been to all of the other Bardea offerings in the area so we were excited to try out Roost! We were not disappointed. Located on Market Street in Wilmington, Roost is an upscale pub and bar. The menu is typical pub food fare but with an upscale twist. We were seated immediately upon entering. Our server Ashley was fantastic! She was very knowledgeable. She Handled our food sensitivities easily, made great recommendations for both drinks and food, and could explain any dish in depth. The food was delectable! We had the deviled eggs which arrived in a nest made out of dough, a burger, a Reuben, and dessert. If you are a craft beer person they have an excellent draft menu. Overall it was a fantastic experience and we look forward to returning.

Hubs and I tried Roost for the first time this evening. Everything--and I mean EVERYTHING--every dish, every topping, every drizzle, etc., was eye-rolling/closing followed by an Ommhhhhhh...good. As wonderful as the food was our server, Lindsay, who made sure we were happy with everything, was always present in case we needed something without hovering, or being over-solicitous. She was also VERY genuine and friendly.
Pierogis and nachos for apps. The pierogis had the most fabulous caramelized onions in--perfectly done, sweet and savory. The nachos hubs ordered were wonderful--I tried them with the guac (I HATE guac) just to check it, and I had no idea guac could be that good. If I could be sure everyplace I went that served guac was that good, I'd order it everywhere.
Short rib grilled cheese with a side of mac for me, and wings with gochuguang pepper sauce for hubs. Tried a bite of hubs' wings--I can't remember the last time I had chicken that tender and juicy, especially given how crispy the skin was. Man--so good! Mac and cheese came in it's own skillet, wonderfully cheesy with a great crisp on top. The short rib grilled cheese was gorgeous. So tender, the perfect amount of cheese with a great little tang to it, so complement the short rib. Just beautiful!
Can't wait to go back. There are so many other things we want to try! Thank you--we just found a new favorite place to nest!

Great atmosphere and friendly, attentive staff. I highly recommend the Cheesesteak Bao Bun and Golden Goose cocktail!

The best steak I have had in years, the staff is amazing and can tell you everything about the entire menu. I was indecisive and Lindsey recommended the picanha steak, the amazing food paired with the great atmosphere has made this a new weekend staple for me.

Food is out of this word, Chef has so clearly put a close eye to every dish in the menu, the cocktails were also stunning, unique, picture perfect, & there’s something for everyone. Our favorites were the Herd & the Golden Goose. Service was outstanding from the front door to the very last bite, our table was clean & cleared between every plate & we always had what we needed. The young man who brought the food was obviously well trained & knowledgeable, explaining each dish in detail & offering to get us anything else we might need, we think his name was Lucas. Overall, we had one of the best dining experiences we could have asked for & Roost is exactly what downtown has been missing. We absolutely will be back & will be telling anyone who will listen to check this place out! 5 stars, 10 out of 10. Bardea strikes again!! Congratulations to the team who put this all together!

Wow. Incredible service from Jane! The mussels and buffalo chicken flatbread was such a good start to our night, along with the delicious cocktails! We ended the night with the Picanha steak and Hot Chicken sandwich which we will definitely be eating again. Great way to celebrate the anniversary!

The Shepard pie was fabulous, really loved the puff pastry it was baked in. The picanha steak was great too. Love driving into the city for this gem.

I'm so glad this place is finally open! The food is great, the atmosphere is wonderful, and the staff is incredibly friendly. It has everything you would expect from a Bardea-affiliated restaurant!!!
Had a great time. The feel was great. Food was great. Best ruben I’ve ever had. Loved the peanut butter pie. Cocktails were polished. Very solid old-fashioned. They had my current fav beer on tap - Fiddlehead, go figure.
