"WOW! Is about the only words I can find to describe Roost! This is going to be an honest but silly review! Was looking for someplace new in Dayton and found Roost! Funny when we walked up another couple looked and said “what’s Roost?”. Well let me tell you…come closer…too close..Roost is a hidden Dayton Gem. Everything from reservations to the waitstaff, to the food and ambience was well thought out and pleasing. We got the scallops and ravioli..seriously the crème sauce literally was served at the Last Supper! It was so amazing! The scallops were cooked perfectly! I had the Black Truffle Ragu and that too was outstanding. The serving came out and I thought I would still be hungry but I was full much longer than I thought. I was disappointed because the Meatballs had sold out, but if they tasted as good as everything else I understand why! Lastly to the staff, well done. Allow me to give credit where credit is due. Chad our server was the most friendly, professional, knowledgeable and patient server ever. Chad I literally was driving home and thinking “should I have tipped more?”. Chad walked through the menu with us and if Chad isn’t a sommelier, he should be one. Wine pairing suggestions were on point. Even offered a wine that wasn’t on the menu for my date who likes something sweeter. There was another server that was just as amazing. Our light went out on our table and she quickly and politely swapped it out for us. The only complaint I have is no meatballs and I would have liked to see a simple fettuccine or spaghetti and meatball dish…however the food that I received was much more tasty and complex than either of those other Italian staples. Thank you Roost for an enjoyable evening and an amazing experience! I will be back again!"
