    Seasonal Sangria

    I went as a group with Dinner Club GVL and had great service and great food. The place was well lit and the ambiance was very welcoming. Had a great time.

    Wedge salad
    Erica L.

    We had a great tapas like meal at the new and approved Roost. The tuna tartare was the star of the show along with the wedge salad which was delicious and perfectly refreshing. We also had the coconut firecracker shrimp and the truffle fries. Some great honorable mentions. The atmosphere was spectacular! A great spot to enjoy Thursday or Friday evening music in Noma square and the service was spot on. I would highly recommend to any local or visitor. It's a great highlight of good food in a beautiful space. Ohh and I must not forget about the drinks; they make a mean Aperol spritz and I tried their bubbles and berries which was perfectly balanced and smooth.

    After a long renovation, Roost is back, one of the most popular restaurants downtown Greenville #yeahthatGreenville It has been beautifully done and the open space is warm and inviting.. Brunch always draws a great crowd and we were right there in the thick of it, this glorious fall weekend. Amanda was our server and quickly got our drinks and made to order eggs going. Today's brunch had a great variety of selections of breakfast and lunch offerings. Stone ground cream grits, bacon, sausage potatoes and French toast. A huge cold bar full of fruits and veggies. Pulled pork, shrimp and grits, Mac and cheese and Brussels for the lunch side. At noon they were filling empty containers and keeping areas full. If you haven't been to Roost since they've reopened, come on out!!

    Aside from the stellar vibe, food and drinks, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the star of the show- our bartender Bobby. A consummate professional, super engaging, knowledgeable and really just a fun, super nice guy from the moment we first walked in the door yesterday afternoon. So great a time we had with him, we came back later for our unbelievable delicious dinner! We were visiting for a quick getaway from Savannah, and I can promise we'll be looking for him each and every time we come back. He's a tremendous asset to this establishment! Please tell him Gwen and Gary miss him already!

    Truffle fries
    Marita S.

    Alston was truly an outstanding server with an engaging and enthusiastic personality! Very impressed with his service! The truffle fries, mussels and beets salad were exquisite and superb! Excellent dining experience at Christmas Eve!!!! Highly recommend The Roost Restaurant!!! Kudos to Alston and my compliments to your Chef and kitchen staff!!!

    Dulce de leche cake

    I had the Cioppino as entree and for dessert the dulce de leche cake. The food was delicious! My waiter Brady was friendly. The place was very clean and the service was excellent. Highly recommend this place when visiting Greenville.

    Bone in pork chop
    Diane A.

    The food we had was all very good !! I really enjoyed the spicy huckleberry margarita. Service was outstanding and I would return back !!

    Trout

    Excellent dishes . We had the wings, mussels, trout , and wedge salad. All very well executed. Next I would do the white wine butter instead of red curry on mussels as it was too hot. Trout portion huge and delicious! Service and ambience great as well. We will be back. Also solid bourbon selection.

    Fig old fashioned and isn't she a peach

    We sat outside on the patio during the Main Street Friday's blues concert. Great service, cocktails, food and overall vibe! Can't wait to come back

    A great dinner for one at the bar

    I walked over from my hotel and it was a great location for a nice dinner for one. The service was friendly. The atmosphere had a cool fun but chill vibe. The good was really good!

    Bread loaf ~ delicious with whipped butter & olive oil.

The atmosphere is very inviting... clean lines.... clean restaurant... terrific attentive service. We looked for a restaurant in the Greenville area that offered vegan and non vegan options. So this fit the bill. Richard said the veggie burger was a bit too soft for his liking. I say that in reference to a vegan burger we had in Berlin that was quite meaty in texture. I think using pea protein really makes a difference in texture... it is used more overseas than in the US. I had the zucchini and potato arepa. It was very tasty and quite filling!!!! A little too heavy for me for lunch... very hearty option. Our waitress was right there when we needed her, kept our water glasses filled, which is important to me because I drink a lot of water at meals. Our daughter had the Brussel sprouts, which she said were delicious. Serving sizes are good!!

After eating there, I would consider moving to Greenville just so I could have Soby's fried chicken every week. 8-) Usually fried chicken is fried chicken, but this was something different. The meat was incredibly soft, tender and moist, while the skin had the perfect crunch and came out wonderfully hot. It was served with broccolini and macaroni and cheese. When dinner started, I wasn't that hungry and had already decided I would give my husband half of my chicken. Then I took one bite. And another. There is NO WAY I am giving my husband half of this chicken. He got one bite to try. He agreed it was delicious. He ordered the Braised Beef Short Ribs, which he finished without offering me a bite. I did manage to convince him to share the White Chocolate Banana Cream Pie with me for dessert. It had just the right amount of good, real banana flavor and was generously topped with white chocolate flakes. We like watching chefs work, so we asked for a table upstairs with a view of the kitchen. We got the perfect corner table where we could watch more of that incredible fried chicken being made, along with the other entrees being cooked and plated below. Thank you to the chefs downstairs, the hostess, and our server for making our last night in Greenville a meal and experience we won't forget. My tummy is still thinking about that fried chicken.

    Great restaurant in the Greenville area, excellent for date night or a group gathering!…read more This place is huge on the inside but I'd still recommend reservations. The bar seating also looked plentiful if that's something you're into. All the staff were super nice and attentive. We ordered the Tyger River Salad and Brussels Sprouts and both were outstanding! The toppings for the salad paired perfectly with the vinaigrette and the Brussels were some of the best I've had! The crab cakes and short rib were both solid, but I had higher hopes based on how amazing the first course was. The portions are very generous as well, so we didn't even finish the complimentary cheddar biscuits. They had a fun cocktail list and plenty of wine and beer to choose from as well. Overall, I'd give this place a solid 4 stars and we will be back!
