Roost Italian - Dayton

We (2 couples,) who dive into a lot of dayton upmarket restaurants were at least 5 times in the last year in the Roost....it was so good. this time we were disappointed. her best dish was formerly the mustels di finocchio, which is an appetizer. it wasn't so good....they knew the recipe changed, maybe the cook cut back to the cream sauce, but it was sub par. the other dishes, mushroom scallops, market fish (salmon) tosconna were fabulous; the filet was boiled (ordered med; came from very medium-sized rare) with too salty boursin maischekartoffeln, and the linguine pesto was not impressive. we all surpassed average dessert selection and let us ask ourselves if we will go back. the one highlight was the service. evelyn was amazing, others supported with needed, and the host exceeded expectations with a decisive accommodation. this was the place we expected and received high quality food and why we returned. the chef must return to his A-game....until, then the roost will be a hard choice to return.

Excellent dinner. beautiful place and really good eating. scallops were excellent. filet has also been cooked correctly and paired with a simple and tasteful boursin potato. well planned weinmen made the meal all the better and the service was attentive without being overlaid. best meal I had at the weekend in dayton.

I was in raw and normally when I go here, that is eating that I get, a hit. But I went last night and I got the main entrée scallops and they were....ok! it wasn't bad, but that wasn't so usual that's amazing, I wish I could eat this everyday feeling that I usually get when I get here. Except that, service was great, the bartender who served me was great, and they even let me eat at one of their appetizer tables, as I was fed alone.

I was looking for good food while traveling to Daton. Based on a recomendation I think I found the best resturant in the area. The bartender Michael was great, explained all the Items on the menu and got me out of my comfort zone. I just wish I could have tried everything on the menu. If your on travel and you want fresh made to order food you have to try this place out. Incredible.
