Having grown up in the neighbourhood I had wanted to drop in to chez Roger for some time.
I finally found an occasion to go and I was very happy with the atmosphere and decor. The servers as pointed out by another Yelper are robotic. Shallow smiles as to say "you are not good enough, to garner my attention or you are taking up my time".
Please get over yourselves ladies. There is a fine line between an air of polite poshness and being snooty. Time to find the balance.
The food was very good. I ordered the grilled heart of romaine that came with cherry tomatoes, bacon, toasted slices of baguette, Parmesan cheese, and Caesar dressing. It was aromatic and worth every bite.
The main dish was the mushroom risotto with asparagus. It was very hot, enough to make the server Yelp in pain due to the heated plate. Then I decided to touch the plate as well. Yeah...it was hot.
The only suggestion is to hold back on the salt. Otherwise, it was very good.
3 / 5 stars for the food. Loss of a star for being snooty.
