Favorite spot in Uptown! Menu always changes but never disappoints. Although, sad to see mushroom toast off the menu - my favorite!

Staff was great. Truly great. The rooms are a little loud when multiple tables are set. The outside area looked very nice. The appetizers and salads were extremely good. We ordered the shrimp and grits and the burger with fries. The shrimp and grits were OK at best. We only ate half of the burgers. The fries were on point.

Fantastic meal! Great ambience and service! We started with the Ground Duck Flatbread and both of us agreed that we should cancel the rest of our order and just get two of those. Amazing combination of flavors. Our entrees did not disappoint. I had Grouper and my partner had steak. Both were cooked perfectly. Our waitress was wonderful and suggested drinks for us as well as kept our water glasses full. She was attentive without being in our face. We will definitely go again! They don’t have parking but there is a large parking garage at the same corner.

We enjoyed another excellent dining experience at Rooster's. Delicious food, wonderful drinks and lovely ambience. We were thrilled to have Owen as our server again. He made an already thoroughly enjoyable evening even better. Please let him know how much we appreciated his kindness.
