Aside from having an incredibly knowledgable and friendly server (Tatiana), the food blew me away. This was my first time visiting and I will absolutely be back for the wonderful service and food.

We wished we lived here full-time because we would stop by every week. Thanks for an exceptional dinner of farm-to-table perfection. The service, plating, and execution were all harmonized for another memorable evening. We live in Manhattan and dine at all Michelin levels on every continent regularly. Rooster & the Till is one of our favorites of the world.

Fantastic food in a fun atmosphere. Our server, Tati, was professional, knowledgeable, and most of all fun. We enjoy sitting at the counter to watch Angel do her magic.

The Rooster and the Till is an absolute gem. Small and intimate neighborhood vibe. The food is eclectic and excellently prepared. Service was outstanding as well. Our goal was to find a restaurant that steps well outside the typical American fare… The Rooster and the Till really hit the mark.

I love this restaurant but this experience had some issues. First of all, 3 1/2 hours for six courses is way too long. The food was mixed. The persimmons, ravioli, and panettone were all great. The prawn was also excellent but seriously one shrimp that I waited a half hour+ for. The pork collar was very tough. I don’t think I was the only one who thought that as I saw a lot of dishes going back to the kitchen with half eaten collars. I will definitely return but I don’t think I would go back for another guest chef dinner.
