    Good food and good service but not 5 stars for the price. For 5 stars I am expecting Ocean Prime level service and this was more middle of the road.

    Christmas Eve, expected it to be busy. We’re seated and it took several minutes to be acknowledged. After about 10 minutes we got some water poured. Ordered drinks which were forgotten about until we asked about them. Long story short, it was really loud and noisy and the service was terrible. Not the waiters fault. He had large parties and at least 5-6 tables. The food was very good. We’ll go back as we always enjoy this restaurant

    We had a great dinner tonight for my husbands 50th birthday. The servers recommendations were on point and we enjoyed every bite of our meal. It was a 10 out of 10 experience and we will definitely be back.

    Jason was our server. He took great care of us. He made nice suggestions. The cocktails were wonderful. Which each had a different entree and all outstanding. My only negative comment…. $12 for a basket of French Fries? That right there tells you that all prices are inflated. Bottom line, Roaring Forks is consistently delicious. The pork & green chili is NOT to be missed!

    We were shown to our table right away as we arrived, and our server was Gabriel. He was accommodating, and very professional/courteous. There were 9 in our party and he had a bit of a challenge getting our drink orders. I ordered a Texas Tea and was informed that the bartender didn't know how to make one. Appetizers were great and the sides were delicious. However, some of our steaks were cold by the time they arrived. We were short on time so we didn't complain about it. We've had duplicated drinks showed up, and some drinks took a while before arriving. Gabriel would have benefitted with another server helping in bringing out the food and drinks promptly. For a $950 lunch tab, we truly expected more.

    The hostess was extremely rude. I requested two changes in table locations: the first was a half-booth and the second was a large booth that could seat 6, possibly 8. The first request was made to avoid awkwardness in the event there had been a neighboring table (less than 1-2 inches to move between tables). The second request was made to allow for a larger party (6-8 could have fit in this booth). I pointed to a regular booth for 4 and asked if we could sit there and she informed me that it would cause an issue with server rotation. We returned to her previous two choices, and I requested a regular booth for 4 - again. Her response was “Fine.” She turned her back as I followed her. I warmly thanked her, and she ignored me. I apologized, and again, no response. I thanked her again, and all she said was, “if your party checks in, I’ll show them to your table,” turned her back, and walked off. Our server, Kat, was divine!
