What People Are Saying About Roof Restaurant
The Editor
Robyn Galbos
Citysearch
The Scene – The dining room is elegant, but patrons are casually dressed and comfortable. The Roof caters to both intimate diners and large groups. And you won't find a better view of Temple Square. – – The Food – A buffet menu is served with a dash of refinement. You'll find a mix of hearty salads and a variety of entrees with simple sauces. A carver stands by to serve ham and prime rib. Warm, flaky rolls are brought to the table with honey butter. As for main dishes, make sure to sample a little of everything. Best bets are the ham and prime rib, but be sure to…

overpriced for food that has been sitting under a heat lamp all day
by luckygirlx
we got there and were starving, but didn't make any reservations. they made us wait 20 minutes to be seated, which seemed understandable. when they finally seated us, we found that the restaurant was almost completely empty! there were at least 30 tables they could have found for us. it was as if they wanted us to feel like we were second rate in an exclusive place. we were impressed with the view and the presentation, but the food was still mediocre. no where in the restaurant, not even the menu, did it say the price of the buffet. we thought we would be paying around $20-25 per person. when we got the bill, we found out it was $38 per person! And drinks are not included! That is more than the bellagio and wynn in vegas (and those places have about 5 times as much food - including seafood!). save your money and get a freshly cooked meal someplace else.
- Pros: view of the temple
- Cons: not worth the price

Overated?? Who are you people??
by dineouter21
The Roof is just one of those restaurants that you must eat at!!! The service was amazing and friendly, I felt like they anticipated my every desire before I even had to ask. The view of course is worth the price alone, not to mention the food! The desserts of course were the best part. As for the other reviews suggesting this restaurant is overated I would have to sincerely disagree. Where else can you get all you can eat gourmet food with excellent service for this price. Reall!!!! When my wife and I eat out at other places like Applebees we are a few bucks shy of spending the same amount! This place really has it all!!!! Not to mention I requested Lamb when I made my reservation and they had it for me, and my wife has several food allergies and the accomodated her every need with specical dishes straight from the chef!! Really they don't make restuarants like this anymore!! You have got to try it!!!
- Pros: Ambience food and service...you really get what you pay for!
- Cons: Not great to bring the kids along

they have it all
by catchmeup
This is a great place to eat. The prime rib is always perfect. I love the jumbo shrimp and the desserts. The servers are so helpful to recommend some wounderful drinks. They don't serve alcohol, but have some really fun drinks. You need to try their italian soda. Don't miss the chance to listen to a great pianist, enjoy the view, and mmmmmm the food!
- Pros: ambiene, service, music, food
- Cons: none
