| - Revel + Roost is more disappointing than DiCaprio at his first five Oscars. Way to completely let me down after all my high expectations. My boyfriend took me to Roost for dinner, the fancier upstairs section of the restaurant which is contrasted by the trendy bar atmosphere of Revel. The first thing I noticed was that the restaurant was very, very loud. Perhaps we were just unlucky with timing, but the big parties around us were hollering at each other the entire time. Ear plugs recommended.
We were seated promptly, but our server was very slow to greet us and take our drink/food orders. Basically, she was just slow at everything.
The vegetarian appetizers left much to be desired, so we decided to go off the books and start with some add-ons: the Potato Gratin and Asparagus with Bearnaise. The asparagus was nothing mind-blowing but still enjoyable which is more than I can say for the potatoes. Someone went a little too crazy with the black pepper because the pungent taste was so overwhelming that I felt like I was choking. If you don't enjoy inhaling a pound of black pepper, I suggest staying away.
For my main course, I had the Pasta with Beans which I found out afterwards that it is actually NOT vegetarian. The waitress had told me prior to ordering that this was a vegetarian dish, so I trusted in her "expertise", however, the menu does mention there is pancetta if you look closely. Oblivious, hungry me started chowing down on the pasta as it came out. Only a third of the way in did I notice something wasn't right. After notifying the waitress, she still stood by the fact it was vegetarian until she checked the menu again. She replaced it with a fresh vegetarian version, but I barely received an apology or any reparation beyond that. The pasta dish itself was delicious but nothing mind-blowing. Average quality pasta dish with tomotoes and fava beans. I was just so mortified after being fed meat that it ruined the entire entree for me.
Hoping to forget about the pancetta debacle, we tried to end on a good note with some dessert. We selected the Chocolate Pudding & Banana Trifle which was definitely the star of the show. Highly recommend! It is chocolate pudding layered with fresh banana slices and topped with delicious chocolate brownie. Perfect size for sharing between two people. Prepare yourself for the chocolate coma afterwards.
