    Another triple D restaurant and another success. Restaurant is very spacious with seating towards large front windows , upstairs seating and seating area in the back. Service is quick and friendly and the food is fantastic. Portions were perfect for lunchtime. Meals were very economical however the beer is a little pricy...but you don't have to order beer either.

    The Roost has become one of my new favorites in Longmont, Colorado. My wife and I were on our way to a play in Greeley Colorado, and decided to stop at The Roost for dinner beforehand. I'm glad we did because I really enjoyed this place. The decor was nice and food was even better. My wife and I got the steak frites and the Thai tacos. My favorite was the Thai tacos and it's one of the best tacos I've ever had. It had so much flavor and the the perfect balance of spicy and sweet. The steak frites had truffle fries covered in steak and some type of gravy. The steak was so tender and juicy. We also got some sweet potato fries and those were good as well and came with some honey mustard sauce that had the perfect amount of horseradish in it. The service was fast and the waitress was super helpful and talked in detail about her favorite dishes. You know the place is good when the employees get excited about talking about the food they serve. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in Longmont.

    For as many times as I've been to Longmont over the years, this is the first time I've been to the roost and I feel like I've kinda missed out! It's so cute and seems like a perfect date night/girls' night place to grab dinner and drinks. I came in for a late lunch with my best friend on a Saturday recently right around Halloween. It wasn't busy at all (we admittedly came at a semi awkward time lol) so we were seated and helped right away. One of the first things I noticed about the place were the decorations and furniture. It was so cute!! I loved the decor and the tables had really nice pillows on the chairs, which was a great touch. The menu has a pretty good variety of different types of food; some more traditional selections - like the cheeseburger I got - and other items that I haven't seen before, like the polenta squares my friend ordered. This place seems like a really popular dinner spot and feels like it'd be perfect for a date or dinner with a few close friends. We were helped quickly, and despite our taking forever to decide what we wanted because we couldn't stop talking, the meals came out quickly and plates were hot and looked great. My friend had been here before and really liked the Buffalo cauliflower, but said she also really enjoyed the polenta. My burger was super tasty too and hit the spot for me lol. It was cooked well and very fresh tasting. Pricing is pretty reasonable, but I'd guess the bill would easily and quickly get high with drinks and whatnot if you're in a group or on a date or whatever. Parking seems like it might get a little crazy during peak busy time, but there is a lot of street and lot parking in the general vicinity (along the main drag) if you're okay with a short walk to the restaurant. Overall good! I'd like to try and get back here to taste some other menu items but enjoyed my time!

    Ambiance was very calm and relaxing. The service was prompt and wonderful. And the food was spectacular. Went here because Google reviews show it much higher rated than on Yelp, my husband and I went and we agree with the 4.5 star rating that is on Google far more than the lower rating here. We had the Bangin' Cauliflower and Salmon as the entree and both were great tasting and a good shareable size.

    The Main entrance is on the side of the building.

    Had a great gathering with coworkers at the Roost while visiting Longmont. It's in a great area with other eating establishments nearby but I would definitely recommend trying this one. Parking can be a bit of a challenge but if you get there earlier, you should have not problem. I had the steak frites and it was delicious...had a hard time choosing as the menu had allot of great choices. Our waiter was awesome and was very helpful with the menu. We ate in the back were the building has a few larger doors which added to the cool ambiance of the place. Recommended!

    We had reservations to celebrate two birthdays down the street and were greeted there by locked doors and no lights. Knowing that The Roost was a block away, we walked down, hoping that they would be open and have room for our group of seven. Shockingly, they did have room, and we were seated immediately in the bar area! Our server was at the side of our table right away and took our drink orders. It was pretty loud in there (not their fault - they were the only restaurant on the street that seemed to be open and were PACKED), but we had a great time catching up while we sipped our spicy Bloody Mary's. I ordered the Chilean Salmon that comes with a saffron cream, orange salsa, pesto farro and roasted cauliflower and was greeted with the largest piece of salmon I've ever received at a restaurant. It was delicately seasoned and flaky, and the citrus salsa and creamy sauce was a perfect complement. The pesto farro was al dente and studded with roasted carrots and peppers, as well as tender kabocha squash and cauliflower. I ended up having to get a to go box to take home another meal's worth of food. We received a complimentary dessert and opted for the gluten free Chocolate Decadence so the entire table could partake since we were all over stuffed and ready to roll out of there. Great service, delicious food and a HUGE thank you to them for being open and willing to take our large group!

    It had been 3 years since we met up with friends here. All of us were wanting to revisit this place…read moresince our first visit was so good. (And we don't live in the area). We were seated promptly upon arrival although did wait a bit for a server to appear. We arrived at the tail end of happy hour so that was nice. Happy hour is available at any table in the restaurant. We ordered appetizers of smoked trout dip and baked scallops. Both were tasty. Main courses were duck and fresh catch of the day which was trout. The trout and the veggies served with it were delicious. Whipped parsnips, roasted carrots, snap peas and spinach topped with a nice filet of trout. This place is small but very cute on the inside. Make sure to notice the ceiling fan. They have a large outdoor patio too.

We won't have a table for a baby. Wish I could've tried. The food looked delicious. *** Well NICE TO MEET YOU KEN. At least you took the Chuck E. Cheese comment off. When you treat people poorly , people leave bad reviews. That's how reviews work it's not A weapon. It's being honest. KEN I'm sorry you have a problem with my honesty. learn to take criticism. Your business will probably benefit from it. For anyone who's planning to eat here the food looks delicious. Just be prepared to be treated like dirt if anything is wrong. Service 2 Response from the owner 9 hours ago Daniel, my apologies that my host did not find better words to inform you that we are a tavern. While we allow children... we are not a family restaurant. I'm shocked that after you were enlightened to our lack of a high chair you went postal, bad reviews, ranting on next door, calling the tavern and yelling at the staff... all because you wanted a high chair... you have official earned your full KAREN badge. Wear it well and take your attitude elsewhere Response to the owner****POOR management. Questionable treatment of women with your videos. Reviews where people felt they were treated poorly because of how they looked. NO customer service skills and a jerk that is the most entitled karen of us all running the show. I can't wait to watch you fail. The issue is not children. The issue is your rudeness I graciously offered to delete my reviews. If you would just admit that you were rude, but your ego is too big for that. The weight of that ego will crush you. And don't worry about my children I will teach them to stand up for themselves just like I am.YOU CAN LEAVE THEM OUT OF IT. I would hope you would do the same but expect you would just lay down and take it.

    We have been here before with family and had a great experience. The food was good and the service…read morewas attentive, so we were really looking forward to coming back. Unfortunately, this visit was completely different. The service was extremely disappointing from start to finish. We waited about 20 minutes just for drinks and eventually had to go up to the bar ourselves. When we asked about it, the bartender simply said, "I'm working on it," which was frustrating given how long we had already been waiting. There were 4 tales in the restaurant and like 8 employees Things did not improve from there. Our food came out very slowly and one of the meals had to be sent back. We ended up having to go to the bar multiple times, including for a to go box and even to get our check, because no one was checking on our table. To make matters worse, the menu states that guests are asked to limit their visit to 90 minutes. However, due to the slow and inattentive service, we were there for nearly two hours through no fault of our own. There also used to be a sense of customer service here, which seems to have changed. To top it off, gratuity was automatically added without it being mentioned or explained. That felt especially inappropriate considering we ended up doing a large portion of the service ourselves. It's like they figured they were getting auti gratuity so didn't provide any service Really disappointing experience overall. Not sure what changed, but this was a huge step down from our previous visit.
