The Roof at The Durham is a well-regarded restaurant that offers a delightful dining experience with amazing views. The pre-theater dinner is particularly well-executed, featuring attentive servers who are mindful of customers' time constraints. The food is praised for its high quality, with lots of options for dietary restrictions, including gluten-free charcuterie. The portions are generous, leaving diners feeling satisfied.
The ambiance of the restaurant is noted as busy and energetic, creating a pleasant atmosphere for the meal. While the service can be a bit "hands-off" at times, the overall satisfaction of the diners is not diminished, and many express a willingness to return. Some minor issues were reported, such as water stations not being filled well on hot days and a small, slow elevator, but these did not significantly detract from the overall positive experience.
Diners have enjoyed the Brunch food and surroundings, with the airmail cocktail being a favorite, though some found the espresso martini lacking. The restaurant is also known for its Grilled Halloumi Cheese, Seared Steelhead Trout, and Jamaican Jerk Braised Chicken, all of which have been well-received. Overall, The Roof at The Durham is considered a good value, with fresh seafood entrees being slightly on the pricier side.
