“ Roost has an amazing modern nostalgic vibe. The bar is led by Rockland’s best bartender, Oz, he is a mixologist wizard and has the warmest personality. The food is delicious and consistent. I enjoyed one of the best steaks in years last evening, it was one of several specials, 21-day dry aged ribeye. You could smell the aged beef and it was perfectly seasone & cooked medium rare, no need for the au poivre sauce which was also delicious. My wife enjoyed another special of the day a lobster burrito, large pieces of delicious lobster perfectly prepared. My daughter had the roast chicken & my brother in law the NY Strip also out of this world. The potato soup and east coast oysters were equally as good. Roost has become our favorite restaurant in the Rockland Area. We can’t wait to return, even if just for a quick cocktail with Oz! ”
“ Very nice restaurant. We all started with a round of cocktails and they were very delicious. Next we ordered a variety of seafood platters which was fresh and tasted great. My favorite thing was my entree, the filet with mashed potatoes. The dessert here was a fantastic way to wrap up your meal and I highly recommend the mini donuts. ”
“ I had my welcome party for my wedding upstairs at Roost and it was indescribable. The room itself was perfect, the art, the bar, the tables, everything was stunning. Maria had an amazing piano player who added an elegant touch. The cocktails were delicious and flowing. The food was TOO GOOD, everything from the passed hors-deserves to the meat carving station blew us (and our guests) away. People still come up to us raving about the delicious food and elegance of the party. All thanks to Maria (who was also so easy and amazing to work with) !! Roost is an 11/10 ”
“ A gem in Sparkill! A reservation is a must. I went on a Sunday for a table of 2 at 5pm and they only had one available. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was elegant. Update: new photos from another meal! Delicious!!! ”
“ A lovely place in a quiet village. The cocktail was good. The mussels were cooked to perfection with a complex assemblage of savors. The pasta with ham were very good. The wine list is relatively simple but ample and good enough. The service is diligent and hepful. A very good place for a relaxing dinner. ”
“ My husband and I had the pleasure of dining at Roost and I must say that the entire experience surpassed all my expectations. From the moment I stepped into the establishment, I was greeted warmly by the owner. The restaurant's ambiance was elegant and sophisticated, creating an inviting atmosphere that perfectly complemented the culinary journey that awaited us. Our waiter (Matt) was knowledgeable and guided us through the menu, giving us amazing recommendations. It was evident that the chef's mastery was truly exceptional, featuring an exquisite array of dishes crafted with the finest ingredients and a meticulous attention to detail. ”
“ Charming restaurant in Sparkhill, very friendly service from Michelle at the front door to Carlos , our server and a very attentive support staff. Nice decor, and a cool vibe!! Food was amazing, Calamari, smoked fish platter and delicious mussels with chorizo and jalapeno were perfect appetizers to share followed by a perfectly cooked New York strip, Shrimp with plantains and fresh pasta with Maine lobster were the entrees that were OFF THE CHARTS!!! Thank you for a lovely evening, we will definitely be back!!! ”
“ My husband and I held our wedding reception at Roost Restaurant in September of 2020. Roost is a SPECTACULAR and classy space for small to medium sized events. Beyond the beautiful atmosphere, the service and food is outstanding! Maria, Kevin, Kate and the team at Roost took incredible care of us; our guests are still raving about the food and cocktails. Every single detail was perfect; from the cocktails, to the desserts, decorations, live music and everything in between, I give Roost my highest recommendation and 5-stars.
