    Drinks didn't come out until right before our entrées came out (and we got an app...) server was nice but flustered. Food was outstanding and they comped the drink so overall made up for most shortcomings. Probably wouldn't return.

    Food was great. Service was great. Ambience was great as well. However I didn’t feel (which is not just a roaring fork thing but a lot of steak places) that it was worth $200 for 2 people.

    Waited longer than we should have for our cocktails . My martini was only slightly cold instead of being icy cold the way a martini should be. The salmon was very good !

    Our waiter was great. He was very attentive and knew we had a show to get to so he helped expedite our meal. He was very efficient but also friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. The restaurant is beautiful.

    Wonderful food with exceptional service. Only disappointment was that they had run out of an advertised special.

    Very good, as usual. We know why we go there and we are never disappointed. However, the food is little bit too much on the salt side.
