Our waiter couldn’t have been nicer. The food came out quick, the mimosas were great and the food was hot and fresh, and good as always. I can’t wait to return.

This was such a fun dinner! The place isn’t very big and the vibes were immaculate! Everyone was eating, drinking and having a great time. We ordered a bottle of wine and the garlic bread (holy moly- can’t recommend enough). The food was taking longer than expected - we didn’t notice or care bc the environment was so fun and the wine was flowing- but the manager came up and apologized, our waiter apologized.. the service was phenomenal. And the food was 100000% worth the wait!

We enjoyed another excellent dining experience at Rooster's. Delicious food, wonderful drinks and lovely ambience. We were thrilled to have Owen as our server again. He made an already thoroughly enjoyable evening even better. Please let him know how much we appreciated his kindness.

Experience was great and service was top notch. Many of the dishes on the east side lacked flair or flavor and were not hot. My favorite dish was the Hamachi on the east side. The DJ started around 7:ish and for such a small place the music was entirely too loud. Beating in your chest loud.
