First time visiting The Roost for a DJ event and we walked up stairs to the garden bar area as it looked like a nice area for myself and my friends to sit, the manager came up not long after and said “did you ask?” We asked what sorry? She continued to say “did you ask if you could be up here” we said “no sorry it’s our first time here and there was no sign or anything so we thought it was an open area” she kept cutting us off saying things a long the line of “well no you assumed wrong, do you expect me to put a big sign up saying you can’t come up here? Are you guys wanting to leave instead”. It was very rude and not a professional way at all to handle the situation or new customers, and all agreed she could of approached us nicely to say “hey guys sorry but this area is actually out of bounds if you didn’t know” then we would have said sweet as. Would have expected a better approach as she was the manager.

We went there for a Christmas doo and had all paid $40 each for “continuous platters” we were grossly disappointed as roost had severely under catered for the amount of people who were attending! The food that was served (if you were lucky to get any) was nice but one server also gave a bit of attitude when questioned about whether there was any more food to come. It was quite embarrassing seeing everyone hovering around the food table with empty little plates. I know I wasn’t the only one who was stopping at Burger King on the way home! I wouldn’t recommend for this style catering Food: 2 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 4

The service was good but not great. There were missed items to be brought to us (we had to ask again and again) and we were not informed about dishes that weren't available until after they were ordered and we had to choose something else. We were the only tables in the whole restaurant. The atmosphere was good BUT we were a party of 21 and were split in 2 big tables therefore not getting to have a chat with the other table as much. The food was great we got the dip, pork belly, chicken wings and a portion of fries. One comment I would say is that the "blue cheese" sauce, tasted more like tzatziki rather than the full flavor of blue cheese that you would expect. All in all a great restaurant, but unfortunately only a 4 out of 5 star for me.

Overpriced - menu says “ribs” for $38 and you get 1 rib! ONE! Then told its weighed at 400gms - at this stage we were over it - the drinks menu was $1 less than the til price? Told new menus were still being printed! Beautiful large venue but understand why it was empty!

Went to see what all the fuss was about. We ordered the fried & grilled chicken, fried pickles, cornbread & cherry cobbler with a Long Island iced tea to wash it down. The winners were the cornbread and the Long Island ice tea (which was very long indeed). I wasn’t a huge fan of the grilled chicken but the fried chicken took us to flavour town. The portion sizes aren’t huge, so don’t order the chicken expecting a bucket of KFC; in saying that, the serving was enough to fill up a 90kg male, so take that as you will.

Been here twice. Average menu. I just don't really get it. After looking at menu we decided to have a few more drinks rather than food as it didn't really have great options. We did decide to get a $58 platter to share that had a taco mix mince and cheese/salsa but they had no tacos? We we're with a large group of 15+ and this was all we talked about for 20+ minutes. This could be a great place but food is letting it down. Great staff and beer selection. Room to improve. Hope to come back a third time and replace this average feedback with a 5 star.

I had 3 fish cakes which were small but with mashed potatoes, loaded fries or coleslaw is enough. Also the pickles & sauce with them made them quite a flavorsome choice if youre not needing a big meal which I wasnt..if hungry get some chicken wings as well. Love this place as the manager is a great guy..hes a beautiful host & his staff follow suit. A fun place for my aunts 80th b/day-we had a corner area with 3 large tables & it worked well.
