    Continues to be solid brunch location. Food is always of high quality but as far as negatives, parking in the area is horrible, place has nice vibe but very loud and my server kind of disappeared as things got busy and didn't seem to care.

    French toast bake Caesar salad
    Kristen A.

    13 of us made a reservation ahead, for a lovely Saturday brunch. The back room was decorated with a tasteful chandelier and all things rooster. Food we shared fig and Prosciutto pizza, nice bleu cheese kick! Delish! However 4 of us split 2 of the french toast bake, this was a let down. Burnt taste. The Caesar salad came out in an adorable white bowl. It was a google worthy purchase. Cute surprise. Birthday fudge tart with decadent caramel was quite the indulgence. Shared a bite with each@ the table . Service decent service, could have asked for more drinks/ or refills, was not as attentive as typical when sitting @ Bar Ambiance

    First time going here for an event with friends and so glad I was able to check it out! I have not heard of it before and actually drove past it because it's not advertised well on the building. The menu changes every few weeks which gives you a reason to visit often! The inside is big and it accommodates larger groups for dinner and the bar area is big too. Staff was all friendly and food was served very quickly.

    1. Ambiance- The cutest establishment. It's like Industrial + Rustic + Chic vibes all in one. Definitely instagram worthy for pictures! 2. Service- Lucia was our waitress and she was a pleasure! It was all of our first time here, so she took time to explain and recommend certain items! She came back often to check on us, and overall was super pleasant. 3. FOOD!!!- everything was literally amazing. Spicy caesar salad 10/10. It was worth noting separately because it was just that good!! Enough to share with the table (we had a party of 6). As you can see from the pictures, we got a little bit of everything. Some were shareable (pizza + french toast bake), others were ordered separately. NO ONE had complaints. Just try it for yourself. 4. DRINKS- Red Sangria, Pineapple and Strawberry Mimosas, Fresh Start. All delicious TO NOTE: Both the dinner and brunch menus change. I recommend checking the website and socials for the frequency and to get an idea of what's being served before you go. For example, the brunch menu this week was much more palatable than the dinner menu. So, we opted for brunch. I suggest making reservations because it was consistently packed. Suggestion: I understand the menus change, but it would be nice if there was a small description of the entrees on the menu....for allergy purposes, or just preference. We weren't sure what some of the items entailed, so we either had to google or ask our waitress. But even googling may not be accurate as there were quite a few chef's touches not necessarily listed. Overall excellent Sunday brunch! Would def recommend

    Margarita pizza
    Ms. Dayna B.

    Loved the curated menu, looks like they change it frequently here. The ambiance is very nice and perfect for a night out, I can see this being awesome for brunch too. Bruce and their team there is so nice and accommodating, he made our visit!

    Interesting and delicious dishes, very unique. Loved the red salad! Professional staff and open airy atmosphere. Definitely worth it for a great night out.

    The Burger
    Shannon S.

    Finally made it to roost! Easily accommodated our large group of ten for a birthday brunch. Music and vibes were great! Food was also well plated and delicious but definitely a little on the pricier side. The staff were so friendly and great but service was extremely slow- something I've heard from my friends who frequent there to seems like an ongoing issue. Only giving four stars because of the slow service and unfortunately one of my friends had to send her meal back because there was a hair in it but they did rectify it with a percentage off and a new plate.

    Brunch menu- changes weekly
    Melissa L.

    Unique & upbeat aesthetic, amazing brunch food- French toast bake, breakfast 3 bean chili, egg & bacon risotto were all amazingly satisfying. Brunch menu changes weekly. Pomelosa - grapefruit elderflower mimosa- perfect accompaniment. Make reservations!

    Roost's Pierogies & Kielbasa

    Easily our favorite restaurant in Buffalo. Super inventive menu with regular updates. Have had some of our favorite dishes anywhere at Roost. Excellent drink menu. Recently had their take on Pierogi and Kielbasa that elevated this dish to a whole new level. Space is also great and lots of bar seating available too.

    Salmon entree
    Nikki G.

    I recently went to brunch here with a group of friends. We were seated right away, as we had a reservation and had a view of the entire restaurant, which was nice. I like to see what is going on. Roost is decorated wonderfully, their food is inventive and fantastic and the drinks are great. The service is also perfect. The one complaint I do have is that there are no descriptions on the menu of what dishes they are serving for brunch. This leads to many questions to the wait staff. It would be beneficial for all to have the description on the menu, no matter how uncool Roost thinks that practice is. I'm sure the wait staff doesn't want to describe every single dish 100s of times a day. It can get exhausting. Everyone really enjoyed their meals and drink choices. I went with a Bloody Mary and it was great. My one friend ordered the gluten free pizza on cauliflower crust and enjoyed it. I had the salmon dish and it was DIVINE. The salmon was done perfectly and I want to eat that every day. This is salmon I have dreams about and want to get back to Roost to brunch ASAP. My boyfriend had a lemon and ricotta pizza and enjoyed it. Most at the table had the breakfast pizza and loved it. This is a great spot for brunch and to bring out of town guests, or to make reservations for you and your friends and treat yo 'self.

    Sausage Pasta
    Brian S.

    This place continues to impress me with a creative menu and attention to detail in all of their dishes. This sausage pasta concoction had just the right amount of heat with peppers and other spices and the tender clumps of sausage. Portion is huge, plenty of extra for a doggie bag to enjoy the next day. Service is always attentive and ready to refill your beverages.

    Go here, eat, and leave without paying. That's what the owner Martin does to people he's in business with. Treat him the same. B grade food.

    So weird...I was excited to try breakfast here this morning. I arrived around 8:30am but the…read more"closed" sign was up on the door. (Also- the hours online and Yelp/Google Maps are different than what's posted on the door.) I decided to see if the door was open in case the sign just wasn't flipped to "open". It was UNLOCKED, and so was the second door! I was able to go INSIDE the cafe, even though it was clearly empty and no one was there...no food in the display case either. I even called out "hello??" a couple times to no response. Why were both doors unlocked if the cafe was clearly closed (even though according to the hours on the door it should be open...)

    What a great addition to the Kensington neighborhood. So many things are going right, with this…read morelittle cute Black owned coffee shop. The first thing I appreciated was, the Owners and staff members. They are genuinely, a very happy group of people. They are super friendly and engaging. I also like the fact you can dine in or even do takeout. Today I decided on takeout.. the serving sizes are very decent, and the prices are more than fair. I strongly recommend checking them out. Breakfast sandwich- choice of bacon or sausage. Really nice satisfying sandwich. I really like the type of roll that was used. Plus the sandwich wasn't greasy or sloppy at all. Breakfast bowl- For me, I was able to share with my wife. The to-go container was pack. Every bite full had meat, cheese potatoes, and eggs. The ingredient ratio was spot on. You didn't have to much of this and not enough of that. Chicken and waffle- breast was moist and seasoned well for my liking. I loved the waffle flavor. Whatever waffle mix they are using. They need to keep using it and never change up.

    January 2024. Second time here, small place and very…read morepopular. Our wait time was surprisingly short for a Sunday morning, only 20-25 mins. Something I noticed is none of the staff in the kitchen wears hats or hair nets and some of the females hair is a little crazy... Steak benny 8/10 Not bad. Potatoes were very plain. Nutella and banana crepe 7/10 Had a hair in it (which brings me back to my hair net point above...) Kyle still ate it though. Dulce de leche crepe 9/10 Caramel sauce was really good. Whipped crepe was delicious and perfectly sweet. The walnuts were good, but I would prefer them to be chopped up a little smaller to be more bite sized. The apples were warm, and cooked to a perfect al dente.

We…read morewere told it was a 25 minute wait and it only ended up being 15 minutes so we were off to a good start. This restaurant is extremely small. It has no more than 12 tables, no booths, and the entrance is a mess. It's tiny and the hostess is not at the entrance, but further inside the restaurant and it causes a lot of congestion. The service was quick and our waitress was nice, but the food was not great. We ordered the strawberry crepe, local eggs breakfast special, and the seafood crepe. The local egg breakfast was good and basic so it's hard to mess that up, but the crepes were not good, especially the seafood, but the side salad that came with it was delicious. I don't plan on coming back here and wouldn't recommend it to friends/family.
