Went here with some coworkers after a long day in a team all-hands meeting. Local brews on tap. Food sourced from local vendors. Prepared in simple, yet flavorful ways. We ordered the charcuterie sampler to start. The spread of meats & cheeses was enough to get our palates excited.
But that's where the excitement ended for most of us. I appreciate what Rooster's is trying to do, but I agree with some of the others that say it seems a little overpriced. The bill was picked up by our boss & even if it wasn't, it would have been expensed, so while I got to enjoy myself I don't know if I would go that often if I lived in the city.
I had the mac & cheese and the wilted spinach. The mac & cheese was creamy but lacked a touch of salt. The spinach was delicious, but there was a little too much liquid on the plate for my personal preference. However, when I took a bite of spinach with mac & cheese at the same time, it was a perfect bite.
Meet some friends in the bar, grab a beer or two & share some snacks. If you're not used to this type of dining (smaller portions, farm to table, etc) this place isn't for you. If you're expecting 'traditional American-sized portions' find somewhere else. You won't be happy here.
