We wished we lived here full-time because we would stop by every week. Thanks for an exceptional dinner of farm-to-table perfection. The service, plating, and execution were all harmonized for another memorable evening. We live in Manhattan and dine at all Michelin levels on every continent regularly. Rooster & the Till is one of our favorites of the world.

Our wait staff was great. Savana was excellent! Good recommendations, friendly and attentive! We have a family member who eats vegetarian and he loved the stuffed portobello. Our meals were delicious. Outdoor ambience was perfect. Could not have been better. Shared ice cream dessert of coconut and espresso chocolate was wonderful! Thank you for such a lovely holiday dining experience!
