    It had been a while since we’ve been but now I’m not sure why. I was reminded why Rooster never rests on its laurels and awards. Exceptional in every way. Hamachi crude is always a go to for me but they threw in some unique flavors that elevated that dish. The panzanella salad was elevated with the fried green tomatoes - nice touch. Short rib flavor was off the charts and with orange labneh! Holy cow! Will be back again soon.

    Ordering the Thanksgiving meal to go was one of the best decisions I’ve made! Everything was packaged extremely well. The instructions for reheating were very clear, and the food was incredible! This was my second time ordering a holiday meal to go from Rooster, and I look forward to continuing this tradition.

    We ordered our full Thanksgiving dinner from Rooster this year, and we are NOT sorry we did. Everything was flawless. It came with written instructions that were easy to follow. Nothing was missing, which is generally a concern with take out. They thought of everything. The portions were extremely generous. It said serves 6, but we could have served 10 easily. There was a whole turkey beautifully seasoned to roast 1.5 hours, garlic mashed with gorgeous chives, cabbage w Parmesan cream and toasted hazelnuts, green bean casserole with homemade fried onions, rolls with seasoned butter, delicious corn pudding, gravy, and cake with apples, butterscotch and white chocolate crumbles. Even though everything was prepared for us, we still spent time in the kitchen following the instructions so we felt like we had “made” dinner. It was so enjoyable. We were in heaven, and so happy with our choice. There was not a single miss in the entire dinner. We seriously hope they do this again next year because we will be first in line to order again. The only thing we missed was stuffing, but wouldn’t trade it for any of the sides we did have. Thank you, Rooster and the Till. You knocked it out of the park.

    Great flavors and a hardyiness not typical of semi-fine dining. Fried Green tomato salad was great. Frittellis very tasty but maybe not totally done in center? Pork bowl was satisfying with corn pudding as highlight.

    The food was delicious with a flare. We ordered the gnocchi, beets , and the vindaloo. Each dish was made with a hint of spicy which was right up my alley! The seats are filled and the noise makes it difficult to hear anyone who’s not sitting directly next to you. However, it’s lively just like the food!

    Literally my number one restaurant on my personal Beli rankings. Was my fourth trip to the Rooster and the Till and it's always incredible. Great vibe, amazing food, the new chef was fantastic. Highly, highly recommend. The short rib and the vindaloo pasta were particularly incredible.
