“If you're awed by presentation, prepare yourself! From the beautiful drive into the property, the view, the architecture and the attention to detail of each plate - there's no reason to look further than this treasure. Everyone is very welcoming and they make you feel right at home. We opted for a white wine flight and headed to the patio, taking in the view of the valley below us framed by layers of mountains beyond. The wine sampling helped us decide on a bottle to enjoy with our meal. Our servers, Hali and Wendy were a joy. Highly attentive yet allowing ample time for us to be uninterrupted. We started with the Peach and Grilled Watermelon Burrata salad which was incredibly unique and far more than enough for two. Delivery of our entrees was perfectly timed and they looked amazing. I opted for the Braised Short Rib, while my wife enjoyed a house made Spaghettoni with locally sourced mushrooms in an Alfredo sauce. A side of tender, roasted Brussels sprouts rounded things out. All so delicious! The Roost at Roo is off to a fantastic start, bringing fairly priced gourmet dining to a relaxing and stunning location. Added bonus - no kids, dogs welcome. Enjoy!”
“I went to the rooftop restaurant— amazing view! I came early and was seated immediately. The staff (Nick and Chloe) were so friendly and helpful throughout the service. The food… OMG the rainbow trout made me send a message to the chef. It was incredible. It was very quiet and peaceful to sit outside and enjoy the meal. Not crowded at all but it will be when people hear about it. I will be back!!”
“This winery is so beautiful! And the service was outstanding. Will was our server and we loved him! So personable and attentive. The food was so delicious. We were pleasantly surprised. We came from Atlanta and haven’t been here yet. We will surely return!”

“Had such a great experience at Roo Mountain Vineyards! The views and atmosphere were absolutely beautiful and made for the perfect afternoon. Sebastian took amazing care of us and provided such great service throughout our visit. The burger was fantastic — definitely one of the highlights of the meal. The gnocchi was a little different than expected, but still interesting to try. Overall, the vibes, scenery, wine, and service made this a spot !”
