I am saddened by the news that Roost American on Lincoln Park Blvd. is shutting down. It was a fantastic spot with delectable food.

The service at the restaurant was awful. A concert was happening next door and many of the restaurant customers were attending it. It was obvious that the restaurant should have known about the sold-out event and had sufficient staff to handle the large crowd.

I love sitting on the outdoor patio at this restaurant in the park. The cocktail was amazing and the pizza was delicious, though the shrimp cocktail was only okay. The service was slow, as it took 30 minutes just to get our drinks. We had made a reservation an hour and a half before a concert at the Fraze, but once we got our food, we felt rushed to finish and make it to the show on time. I would recommend this restaurant if you're not in a hurry.

Awesome location pre-concert at the Fraze. Limited menu and service was ok, considering the place is not open as a restaurant all the time. Awesome fries.

We were told that they don't serve bread when there is an event at the park across the street. The Caesar Salad was a joke. $2 extra for the anchovies? Scallops were delicious. Thought the prices were pretty high . Probably wouldn't go back.
