Agreed. That place was awesome. The owner seems like a great guy. He makes you feel welcome, as did the bartender. Got everything we needed when we needed it, everything tasted great, and we had a good time.

It'll be nice when he fires up the fireplace, but he said that it's going to be a few seasons before he can get some couches to put around it. Maybe with enough patronage, he can move that timeline up a bit.

The country fried potatoes were

Yeah you can't have the right place. Everything I have gotten and anyone we have gone with has been hot and delicious.

I've sent an entree back because it was cold. Open faced roast beef should be hot. I'm not one to complain or send food back either. So that speaks to how cold it was.
I hope they're not getting overwhelmed with the rush of new people coming to check them out. If they fix the bugs quickly they have a gold mine. I have noticed the few times that I've been there that their system of having those guys bring the food out and not having the waitress at least assist them is not working very well- there's alot of mess ups on what gets brought with what, etc. They need to have someone who at least knows who got what come with them to the table. Twice this system has left us without items or with the wrong sides.

Ate there tonight. Thought it was very good. Had the salmon. It tasted fresh and was cooked just right.

My only suggestion for the restaurant is that they should have more specials. I realize they're just getting started, and there are many things on the menu I want to try. But, eventually, over the years, a place can get boring if they never change their menu or add specials. I think that was one big problem with the Roost. It NEVER changed so people got bored with it.
