| - I took my boyfriend here for his birthday. It was amazing!!
When we first walked in it was a little bit awkward. They don't start serving until 4 PM, which is usually their happy hour time. I wasn't aware of that's when we walked up to the hostess she said to wait for the cow bell to ring and from there it was open seating throughout the restaurant for happy hour. We had gotten there a couple minutes before four, so we were waiting along with a bunch of other people in the lobby awkwardly.
However when the cow bell rang, we made our way all the way to the back towards the patio. Being it Arizona and that it's really hot outside, this place has such an amazing cool temperature patio. Not once did I feel hot or sticky. The fans were blowing, they have misters going, and they had plenty of shade.
We basically had the whole patio to ourselves till about an hour into our meal, which was awesome!
Their happy hour is quite spectacular, I can now see why there is a line out the door waiting to get in. All their drinks and all their appetizers are at reasonable prices.
Besides the price being great, the service and the food was spot on! You are paying for quality and excellent service. Tonya was our server and she was amazing, she was very kind and patient and gave us recommendations on what to order. For starters we had the pork wings and nachos, we also had two mojitos. These were off the happy hour menu, and they did not cheap out on portion sizes, and you can really taste the alcohol in your drinks which was nice. For our meal my boyfriend had the duck and I had the fillet mignon steak. We ordered two sides one was their green chili mac & cheese and sautéed spinach with onions. Everything was cooked to perfection! Both dishes had their meats nice and tender, not dry at all. The steak had a nice char on it and it was a very well seasoned. The green chili mac & cheese is on early out of this world! I would seriously just go back for this dish by itself! The spinach and onions were very good also, the spinach wasn't too soggy and was perfectly wilted. We we both ordered margaritas, I got the prickly pear and my boyfriend got the original margarita. I love how the margaritas don't paste super sweet and you can taste the alcohol that you are paying for this drink!!! They're very generous with their portions!
Tonya our server, was so great! She was so attentive to our table even when she started getting busy and had more than six tables to serve. I mentioned to her that it was my boyfriend's birthday and she came out with a complimentary dessert for us to split!
I would highly recommend this place to anyone! I have been to Mastro steakhouse, that's right by them, and they just cannot compete with the Roaring Fork. Their food, their service, and their ambience trumps that place any day! So if you're looking for amazing cuisine that's not too expensive this is your place!
