What Brenda H dislikes about Dell' Rooster:
The atmosphere was nice and drinks were good. But be ready to wait about an hour or more for your food, we waited an hour for our food to arrive and my plate was cool. Service just took way too long for everything. Food: 2 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 5 Meal type: Brunch Price per person: $50–60 View all feedback.

We had an amazing meal and an unforgettable experience at Dell Rooster! Every appetizer is a must-try, and on Wednesdays, they offer half-priced wine from a fantastic selection sourced from around the globe. All the ingredients are imported from South America, and the wine selection features options from Europe. The food was not only incredible, but the staff was also friendly, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about what they do. This restaurant is a MUST TRY!!!

The food here is absolutely fantastic, and the staff is incredible. We enjoyed margaritas and empanadas, shared the Pernil, and concluded our meal with banana cream pie for dessert. Each dish had its own distinct flavor, setting it apart from many other restaurants in the area. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be returning!
