Stroganoff did not have a sour cream flavor but the beef and mushrooms were delicious.

Warm greeting. Excellent food! The server was very knowledgeable about beer, which was appreciated. Great choice for pre-theater dinner. We’ll be back!

We made a day trip to Delaware from Philadelphia and reserved a table at Roost for dinner due to their dietary accommodating menu. The food was delicious and there was something for each person in our party to enjoy. I loved the gluten free cornbread and the cocktails were crafted wonderfully! Our waiter was kind and considerate to my dietary needs - we will definitely return the next time we’re in Wilmington!

Another Outstanding Oktoberfest! The accordionist keeps up the festive tone - there was even a bit of dancing and singing - and the beer and other drinks of choice complement perfectly prepared flavortul favorites such as Fladlesuppe (pancake soup), radish salad, spaetzle, bratwurst, and smoked pork chops.

It was a Wednesday early for dinner. Didn't really need a reservation. We were able to sit and relax with another couple to talk without feeling rushed.
