    Arrived about 15 minutes early (have to drive close to an hour to get there and parking always a challenge). Streets very busy as was the hostess desk. Noel night in Durango so happy we had reservations!! Seated just before our 6:00 reservation, given menus and water by hostess. Staff extremely busy and yet with helping each other (including the bartender who delivered some drinks) service was good. Dinner was again delicious. I stuck with the vegetable Wellington and my husband had prime rib. Had the dessert special after seeing the gorgeous presentation at a nearby table. Dense vanilla cake topped with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream and chocolate sauce and a side shot of homemade egg nog. Decadent and delicious. This has already become a favorite place.

    Arrived a little early but were greeted and seated and given water and menus immediately. Shortly thereafter greeted by our waitress who took drink orders and appetizer orders after telling us the specials. Food was delicious. Great special crab cake appetizer over a home made fish sauce. My vegetable Wellington was delicious and beautifully served and husband was delighted with his 16 oz prime rib. Carnivores will love this place but they do have a couple of options for non meat eaters. Also a couple of fish options. Small,cozy and comfortable if a little loud at times. Definitely will be on our list of places to return. Great service too

    Another great dining experience at The Roost. There were 6 of us each with a different meal. Everyone was very happy with their choices. Cookie brownie dessert and the after dinner coffee drink(can’t remember the name) were all delicious!

    First time here, will be back. Great food and atmosphere, amazing service. We had 2 children and ordered their food with appetizers so it would come out quicker, to help keep them happy, food came out quickly. Adults ordered, our food also came out with really good timing.
