This was my second time at ROAM, again with family, and I can absolutely say that this is a great place to bring folks from out of town, where conversation can be kept flowing easily. They capture the spirit of Rochester's local food scene: eclectic, unique, and filling. The service was good, if a little brusque, but our drinks were kept full and anything we needed was brought. We shared a Peanut Butter Cup Martini among us, and it was balanced and positively delicious. The chicken Parmesan sandwich was a little dense, and beware the ROAM pizza's spice levels (the pepperoni has a big kick!), but the duck wings had, in my dad's words, "definite duck flavor," and were covered with a sweet and spicy glaze. All in all, ROAM remains a reasonably-priced, consistent restaurant in the heart of Park that hasn't disappointed me yet.

First time coming here for late lunch with an out of town guest. Our waiter, David, was very nice and attentive. We ordered the Turkey BLT and the Prime Rib sandwiches. Both were meaty and delicious on a toasted roll. I ordered a few to go items like the Arancini, Meatball, and the crab cakes. The decor is Cafe style and the atmosphere is friendly. They do offer outside seating now the the weather's nicer.

Visited this restaurant with my daughte for mother's dayr. Mainly because they have an outside sitting area and dogs are allowed, so we could bring our puppy. The environment was casual/clean. Everything we ordered was delicious, fresh and worth the price. Their drinks are wonderful (specially the martinis). They lost one star because the waitress was too busy and didn't check on us/they forgot the mashed potatoes/they brought the soup and entrée at the same time. This is a restaurant that has delicious dishes/drinks but the wait is a little too much, make sure you bring good company to enjoy a long conversation.

Second time coming here and thoroughly impressed AGAIN! This time I popped in for a quick lunch before brining my friend to the Airport. We were sat at the window at my request because i wanted to watch my car which was parked a little close, but not at all blocking the fire hydrant out front. The owner "Drew" introduced himself, and assured me it would be fine, then asked if he could take my keys and personally valet park my car which he did. He said he just wanted us to relax and enjoy our meal without any worrying. We sure did! Thank you Drew! Our waiter was amazing and I wish I could recall his name. We left him a 30% tip on the after tip amount as a result. The menu was outstanding! We had the prime rib sandwich which we split, with the Garlic Parm Fries as our side pick. We also ordered the Crispy Artichoke appetizer with the Cajun dip (I had it last time and it haunted me). Wow, so YUMMY, all of it!!! I will definitely be back. I honestly can't recall the last time I felt so at home, relaxed, and comfortable like I was a special guest like this before. Drew really impressed me as a perfect example of what a business owner should act and look like. Great job guys, keep it up! I understand now why it's been 13 years and going strong! Now, If you are reading and made it this far, be sure to check out Drew's other restaurant across the street too! "Classic Kitchen and Cocktails" - it's on my to do list next! I had no idea until today he owned BOTH!

I did a review 6 years ago and happy to say we had as great of an experience tonight as we did 6 years ago. The menu has evolved but same high level of quality and service. It was comforting to come back and have a great meal. I have been here a dozen times over the past 6 years but I thought it appropriate to talk about how Roam has thrived. See my pics for some food descriptions. Well done Team Roam

We tried ROAM on Park Ave. for lunch today. There were so many interesting things to try that we got a bunch of stuff to split. The Tomato Artichoke Soup was heavenly to each start with. We then shared Arancini in the most delicious blush sauce; Fried Artichokes which were super light with crispy leaves; and finally a Calamari Salad with avocado and tomatoes. The fry on everything was impeccable -- crisp exterior, not greasy at all, and perfectly seasoned. Service was also friendly and attentive. We will definitely return. It was a wonderful afternoon to enjoy the first hints of Fall air.

Absolutely phenomenal food, beverages, and dessert. The interior may seem a bit old but Roam is welcoming. The wait staff is kind, courteous, and ultra-efficient and the food just blew my mind. I never learned the name of my bartender but this person was a definite rock star and made some of the best and refreshing dry drinks I have ever had. As for my salmon, besides being a generous portion that had been cooked perfectly, the flavors made me swoon. The balance of flavors on the plate was simply amazing and only added to one phenomenal dining experience. The flourless chocolate dessert was stellar from rich chocolate and not an over-abundance of useless sugar. The only disappointment? This was my last day in Rochester. I wish I had come here sooner! Highly recommended!

We were actually originally trying to get brunch at mad hatter, but the wait was kind of insane, and we ended up having a lovely chat with the bartender and decided to stay at Rome instead. I'm going to come out and say that the menu was somewhat lackluster, but the execution was pretty good, the service is awesome, and the atmosphere is really quite lovely whether you are sitting inside at a more intimate table setting or outside on the sidewalk cafe setup or the patio around the side. Rare for me to dole out a four or five star review if I don't think the food is great, so let me say that I think it has a lot of potential! The eggs benedict was quite respectable. The breakfast pizza was perhaps dubious. It was a lot of cheese and egg on the rare side for my taste, but didn't really feel like it was quite where we wanted it to be. I enjoyed my cinnamon French toast, but again, if you are going to provide any sort of topping for it, you could opt for something like whipped cream or real maple syrup, but instead they opted for the corn syrup fake stuff. Coffee was good but was a little bit cold. Again, I think this place is putting in the work, it just needs a little more oomph to take it over the top for the five-star rating I think it can easily manage!
