Lovely holiday time visit to a spot we'll return to again and again. Food was top-notch, decor was exquisite and service was all you'd want.

Wonderful Ambiance no matter the weather but especially in spring summer both Ozzy and Carlos at the bar will take care of you with a welcome smile and a fabulous cocktail. Oysters are a must but specials help to keep the menu seasonal and fresh read more

WOW, what bad business..called on the phone to order 2 burgers as a new customer and was told flat out " I don't think we can do that, "WE'RE TO BUSY " HOLD ON" let me check with the chef.. The girl comes back and says and I quote " the chef will do it but its gonna be an hour" I said forget it never mind..Stupidly I called back they didn't pick up the next 2 times, the 3rd time she picked up and I said id wait the hour..( literally 1 minute later) The same girl on the phone VERY RUDELY says " NO WE CANT DO IT NOW..The chef won't make the burger...I mean WTF..NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I SEEN A BUSINESS LIKE THIS.....AVOID AT ALL COST read more

I figured I update my review. It looks like I had no pictures in my other one so I do have pictures to share and also they offer once in a while. They bring talent from all over the place. I've seen Brazilian jazz. I've seen tango salsa I have even seen the Nutcracker performed on piano. It's a must to go on a night that they are offering any of musicians playing I would definitely follow them on Facebook or if you want to see new events coming about download eventbrite so that you can see upcoming performances Service is always up to par never missed a heartbeat as many times as I've been there I will share some of my videos from when I've been there and food. Enjoy. read more

I rarely leave reviews, but this experience was so bad it honestly deserves a warning to anyone considering eating here. First, the owner is one of the most unprofessional and unpleasant people I've ever encountered in any business. From the moment we met there was his attitude--dismissive, rude, and borderline hostile. It felt like I was inconveniencing him just by being there. Any simple question was met with sarcasm or annoyance, which completely killed the atmosphere before the food even arrived. Speaking of atmosphere, the location does this place no favors. It's poorly situated, hard to access, and feels neglected. The surrounding area is pleasant but the restaurant itself doesn't do much to add but is outdated, poorly maintained, and just not somewhere you'd want to spend time or money. Now, the food--easily the biggest disappointment. Everything we ordered was overpriced and underwhelming at best. Portions were small, presentation was sloppy, and the quality didn't come close to justifying the prices. Dishes lacked flavor, tasted like they'd been rushed or reheated, and left us questioning how this place stays in business. You can get far better meals for half the price elsewhere. Between the rude ownership, bad location, and overpriced, low-quality food, this was an all-around terrible experience. I would not recommend this place to anyone and definitely won't be returning. read more

A warm friendly restaurant with 2 levels. I had the pork chop and it was delicious with a choice of sauce which I chose the cherry based on the servers's suggestion and it was amazing. The service was friendly and quick but never rushed. We were with friends and spent over 3 hours enjoying the food and wine. An excellent dining experience read more

Fun night at Roost tonite. We sat upstairs was nice, but prefer the vibe downstairs. Out servers were excellent both our waitress Brielle and the helping staff. Good drinks, had a martini that was very good and a decent glass not one of the micro ones I've been getting. Four of us had for apps fish app was great smoked salmon with some whitefish and extra stuff. I fad the oyster chowder it was excellent and a salad. Next we had the filet., pork chop shrimp dish and grilled calamari. All was good., shrimp very good. Pork and fillet was good, but not great. The calamari was very fishy couldn't eat it. Anyway had a great time and will try again. Saw the burger go by and it looked very good read more

One of our go-to spots! They have the best burger in the area, and I love the crispy potatoes that come on the side. The gem salad is always fresh and enjoyable. The truffle mushroom toast is excellent and decadent. I usually order the salmon, which is consistently perfect -- crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside. The pasta with lobster is also very enjoyable. read more

Roost - Drinks and seafood - New American Near Me - Sparkill, New York

the shellfish platter was very disappointing, not to mention the high cost. the clams were too small, the oysters were on the small side. the 1/2 lobster was tiny and looked unappertizing. Roost menu is limited in variety, another disppointment. Steak was the main thing but for the price, was not extrodinary. Overall value, not good. The crab cake on the special menu was sold out by 6:30pm. read more

Ambiance is the down stairs is great. I love Roost but my s/o, who just tried it for the first time said it was meh. We both ordered filet medium and his was more medium well and mine was more medium rare. We didn't say anything bc we're just not those ppl. Plan to go back and try they're brunch. read more

High lights: 1. The well thought out MCM design 2. The Slab Bacon and Egg Salad 3. The DPNB Fresh Spaghetti Low Lights: 1. My boyfriend spilled milk and they were pissed lol 2. The NY stripe we ordered M/R was v rare and a little on the gamey side. 3. The reservation system is a little old school - form submission but does make you feel special when they call you for the actual reservation time. Overall all- food was good , ambiance was better! read more

Went for a birthday dinner, and all started well. Cocktails and appetizers were served in a timely manner and tasty. Then, a pungent and pervasive odor of strong lavender came over our table, and we waited for over an hour for our main dishes. The worst part was the smell in the air, which sadly changed the taste in my mouth and made enjoying my meal difficult once it arrived. It certainly dampened the mood of the evening and I left feeling disappointed. Not sure what happened in the restaurant with the smell, but it was quite unfortunate. Roost is usually a go to spot, but tonight, it missed the mark. read more

Outstanding. We got together for a dinner to celebrate friend's birthday. I started with the smoked rooster cocktail, which was very good - more spicy than smokey, but still very tasty. Excellent wine list - it is short and concise, but well appointed and extremely reasonably priced. We settled for the Moroccan Syrah, which was simply superb, both in taste and in value ($42). I started with Maryland Blue Crab soup, which was delicious. For the main dish, while the special of grilled Tuna looked spectacular, I decided on New Zealand venison, which was perfectly cooked, came with super-tasty cherry sauce, and as a bonus, perfectly paired with the Syrah. Amazing experience. Excellent, friendly, timely, attentive service. Most highly recommended. read more

Delightful dining experience from start to finish. We were seated on the second floor which I highly recommend. The space is contemporary, ceilings are high, tables are nicely spaced and they have a cute little bar dedicated to this level. Oh and the bathrooms were also uber modern and super clean. But the food..... Yum. Our server was super friendly and helpful with suggestions. I started with a cava cocktail aptly named The Roost-this is their version of the Italian classic Aperol Spritz. Balanced and bright. My sister had a vodka cocktail also nice with citrus and herbs. I had the market salad and she had the endive salad. Not adventurous but darn good. The portions are really generous and the salads are tasty and pretty on the plate. We shared the Maine Mussels in a broth with chorizo and jalapeño-wonderful. We split a fish special which was a pan seared black bass with parsnip purée and delicate broccolini. A side of the cauliflower is not to be missed. They also split a glass of cote du Rhône red wine between the two of us upon request since I was driving. The wine was very good and they didn't even blink when I asked to split a glass. The dessert options (donuts, chocolate cake or panna cotta) didn't really speak to us, but we were celebrating a birthday. So we settled on the chocolate cake. I must admit it was delicious. The perfect crunchy exterior with gorgeous texture on the inside-super high quality chocolate-and the fresh whipped cream hit the spot. Sounds pedestrian but it was quite good. Our entire meal was about $155 plus additional for tip, which was quite a value in my opinion. You won't go hungry and the food is really solid. Highly recommend. We live about an hour from this Sparkill establishment but it really has it going on! read more

My friend and I decided to finally try Roost. We had a reservation at 7:30 and we were running late because it was difficult to find a parking spot. I did call Melissa to let her know that we were a few minutes late and it was fine We certainly went all out- - Drinks, apps, meal and dessert drinks. It was a little bit noisy, however, the fresh and delicious food made up for that! The drinks are made with homemade syrups, and everything was just so fresh. I had the blue crab soup that was out of this world. The sea bass special was delicious and had a crispy crust. My friend got shrimp and plantains, and it was out of this world! The service was a little bit slow, but I think it's because they were taking time to do everything perfectly. And for that I will wait! Our server, Maureen, was professional, kind, calm and personable. We were so happy with our experience for our first time at Roost. We will be back read more

Our family has always celebrated Christmas Eve at Roost, so choosing it for my daughter's bridal shower this past Saturday was a no-brainer. Maria was so easy to work with. The room has so much natural light, and that coupled with the beautiful artwork just makes it such a unique space. The ability to customize the drink and food menus for our guests was really a big plus. We received so many compliments from our guests about the food, atmosphere, and service. Highly recommend for any special occasion or event. read more

Roost offers a fantastic dining experience! We had a lovely family dinner here, and I think we were all impressed with our food and cocktails. The atmosphere is classy and artsy. There are featured artists' works on the walls. The front of the restaurant has those modern clear garage walls. We were seated near the back at a table near the bar. We ordered signature cocktails, which were great! Usually I like to try different cocktails on the menu, but I liked mine so much that I ordered it twice. I had the Road to Morocco. For an appetizer, I had the salmon chowder soup of the day, which I loved. Such a unique flavor for chowder. It was rich and savory! I also sampled the seafood platter. The oysters were super fresh. We wished that the platter came with more dipping sauces. We promptly ran out of the dips. For my entrée, I had steak with chimi churi and a side of broccoli. It was delectable! I was so happy with my choice. The rest of the table enjoyed their meals as well. Several of our party ordered the grilled ahi tuna special. Another tried the venison steak. We were all pleased and too stuffed for dessert! read more

Third time eating at Roost and it will most likely be my last. The friends we were meeting were already seated when we arrived and had ordered drinks. We ordered shortly after we sat down and waited. And waited. And waited. It took our drinks about 20-30 minutes to come. When they did come, they were delicious. I had the lavender martini. We ordered the bread with everything butter. The bread was very good but the amount of butter they gave was insulting. Not enough for four people to get enough to get a good taste. I had the endive salad and it was one of the best salads I've ever had. For my entree I had the lamb chops with the panko onion rings and cherry mostarda. The onion rings had absolutely zero seasoning. They were very, very bland. The lamb was only ok. Very fatty. For dessert I had the basque cheesecake was very good. My husband had the filet and said it was only ok. Very underwhelmed by a dinner I was looking forward to. read more

I just have to share the worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant, courtesy of Roost in Sparkill, NY. I ordered the filet mignon, medium rare. It came out clearly overcooked. I took a few bites to see if it was maybe edible because I really don't like complaining, but it wasn't. So I told the waiter the steak is overcooked. He took it to the kitchen and then brought it back to me, cut in half, and said the chef considers this medium rare. They returned the overcooked steak to me and told me to eat it as it is. It was horrible. This "chef" needs to learn what medium rare is. I was appalled. Everyone I was with was appalled. Check out the other reviews about incorrectly cooked steaks, this is a theme at this restaurant. Don't waste your money here. read more

Food is very good it's like the really good food and Piermont it's not in Piermont but it's really close and it's like an art center so I like that. the service was great they were very flexible with our reservation time and always very caring and attentive read more

Food, service & ambience all amazing! One of my favorite places. Highly recommended are roasted rainbow carrots & salmon!

Solid four star experience. The atmosphere was relaxed and cozy and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. We had a party of six and most of the dishes were quite good. The winners were the DPNB spaghetti and the lamb chops - people loved them. Not quite up to par was the pork chop - asked for medium and it looked medium, but was really dry so maybe sitting under a flame for a bit too long. The crab soup was also hit or miss - we had two orders and one was delicious and one was really salty. I tried both! I do like the setting and as I said staff were great. We will try again. read more

Have been dining at Roost for many years and the food has always been consistent and inventive. Chef Kevin never disappoints. The staff is very attentive and friendly having a good knowledge of the preparation on the dishes. The bar staff have a delicious bar menu that can be great mocktails as well. At times they bring a variety of entertainment to the upstairs venue. Classical, pop, Jazz and Latin music; there is enough room to salsa dance when the Latin music is available.
