Roister Restaurant Details PleaseOpen 5–8:30 PM Wednesday to Friday and 11 AM–2 PM, 5–10 PM Saturday and SundayWhat Our Friends are SayingThe Infatuation: "We’ll start with one thing at this restaurant that has stayed the same, and that’s the all-over-the-place menu. Similar to a spring collection at New York Fashion Week, eclectic combinations work when everything is expertly prepared and assembled. But that’s no longer the case at Roister. At best the food is fine, and at worst it’s kind of weird and not very good. The appetizer of aerated clam chowder feels like eating an Old Bay Yoplait Whip. The General-Tso-flavored beef and broccoli is topped with small dried pieces of wagyu that stick in your teeth. Even the roasted carrots are overly complicated and hard to eat, served in a small bowl with something that looks like astronaut ice cream but is actually large chunks of aerated dried pistachios. Like a dress made entirely out of sleeves, you’ll spend some time figuring out just what to do with what’s in front of you, and you might wonder if the bewilderment you’re experiencing is the fault of your unrefined taste buds. It’s not."

Roister is the sister restaurant to three-Michelin starred restaurant Alinea and it has all of the quality cooking with none of the fuss (and tiny portion sizes). The noisy, lively setting complements the equally flavorful and creative dishes.
