Great high-end bar / restaurant that permits premium tobacco smoking

by 11166 at Citysearch

GREAT place!!

Although I used to come here years ago when it was "popcorn all over the floor" and beer by the case, I

was anything but disappointed in the revamped, larger look. The service was terrific, our waitperson, Jess was cute and very attentive: she even recommended an entree of salmon that my wife still raves about. The cost was less than local restaurants but more than most bars, however, the food was on the same level if not better than the local restaurants. The best part was that I was able to enjoy a wonderful premium cigar when we finished dinner. This place ranks up there with all the fine dining establishments that permit premium smokes. We will be back and we will bring friends and business associates.

Good food - but darned expensive

by johnjms at Citysearch

The Roost has remodeled - gotten bigger but is still a fun place to hang out. Food is really good. You have to try the Tortilla Soup (of course - they charge extra for it, but it's terrific). Everyone raves about the pizza, but other dinner items are great too. The salads are good - the Parmesan Crusted Chicken Alfredo is terrific, and the City Chicken is tasty too. Be prepared to pay though, the prices are really high for bar food and atmosphere. $15 - $16 for the previously listed entrees is a bit much.

The bar area is filled with plasma TV's. However, if you're a non-smoker - get ready to be disappointed. The non-smoking area is small, and they still allow smoking even in that room. You'll walk out smelling like an ashtray. Also, the non-smoking area has crummy old TV's - which didn't even work on our last visit. Keep in mind - 2 dinners - two drinks and a tip are going to set you back $45 - $50.

We used to go more often when they were in the Entertainment Book, but for 2007 the don't seem to have a coupon.
