We arrived at 4pm on a Saturday and by 5pm there was a steady flow of people coming in. They have great specials daily so I recommend trying! Also the bathrooms are spotless!

We specified wanting a small amount of food and side rather than full sized salad. The salad came and it was huge, checked with the server that it was a side portion. We were charged for the full sized and when we asked for correction the manager took the server’s side and did not adjust the bill. It was very disappointing experience. We left feeling terrible and have no interest in returning. The food was tasty though

My husband and I used a Groupon for our meal and ordered a tomahawk steak, garlic mashed potatoes, chicken skin fries, and crispy Brussels sprouts—everything was absolutely unforgettable. Now that I live more than an hour away, I've been thinking about making a special trip back because it was just THAT amazing!

Ronnie greeted us and prepared our first drinks, letting us know about their happy hour specials ($5 each) from 4 PM to 6 PM, which was perfect for us. He gave us menus and walked us through the specials. I decided to try the happy hour special of oysters on the half shell for $2 each, and they were fantastic! My wife chose the fresh burrata tomato salad topped with grilled chicken for $21, and she loved it. (By the way, you can add chicken, shrimp, salmon, or steak to any salad.) I ordered the shrimp and grits for $26, which were bursting with flavor and came in a generous portion. For dessert, we decided to order another round of drinks. Our total came to $81. If you're dining with four or more people, I highly recommend trying their cheese charcuterie board for $32; we saw it on our way to our table and plan to order it next time. The ambiance was lovely for a larger space. Here are their hours: - Monday: Closed - Tuesday: 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM - Wednesday: 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM - Thursday: 4:00 PM - 9:00 PM - Friday: 4:00 PM - 9:00 PM - Saturday: 4:00 PM - 9:00 PM - Sunday: Closed We had a wonderful first visit to Roux. It was a pleasure to see Ronnie behind the bar, which enhanced our experience. Thank you, Ronnie! We will definitely return and spread the word about Roux. Best, Nick & Liz, Albany, NY
