Roaring Fork is a solid restaurant. First and most importantly, the food is overall quite good! Definitely a meat-eaters restaurant - would avoid if you are a vegetarian. We tried the queso con puerco as an appetizer. Pretty good though not spectacular - basically melted cheese with a small portion of pork topping, which is a nice touch. For entrees, the pork carnitas are fantastic. Very tender and nice flavor. Bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin is also excellent - also perfectly cooked, tender, and the bacon... who doesn't like bacon!! As a side, we tried the often mentioned green chili mac and cheese. This was definitely good, though I do admit that I was slightly underwhelmed probably because of my overly high-expectations. The macaroni itself was decent, though the crisp cheese topping was tasty.
Price is reasonable considering the pricey trend of Scottsdale restaurants. Expect to pay high teens to mid-high 20s for entrees.
Service was great! Other Yelpers described slow service, but this was not my experience. Our waitress was prompt, friendly, and helpful, and we were frequently checked-on to confirm our meal was up to par. No complaints.
Decor is nice. We liked the ambience, and the kitchen can be entertaining to observe. Would be a nice date place, since it's quaint and not overly loud.
Will be back!
